Social media completely ignores weather in Philly, blames cheap tickets for Sixers game tonight on 2-game losing streak
The Sixers will host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in South Philadelphia. Tip-off is at 8 pm on NBC and Peacock and the organization is currently trending on social media for all the wrong reasons.
According to resale websites, tickets have dipped to as low as $4.00 on TickPick and $5 on the Gametime app. The algorithm on Twitter (X) specifically, is blaming that on the fact that the Sixers currently sit at 24-21 on the season and in sixth place in the Eastern Conference Standings.
It’s also pointing at yesterday’s disaster in Charlotte with the Sixers losing to the Hornets without Embiid and PG in the lineup, 130-93. The algorithm continues to reference the 112-109 loss to the Knicks over the weekend.
“Sixers-Bucks Tickets Drop to $4 Amid Team Struggles“
The Philadelphia 76ers host the Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, with resale tickets dipping to $4 on sites like TickPick and $5 on Gametime. Philly sits at 24-21 but has stumbled lately, losing 130-93 to the Hornets and 112-109 to the Knicks, with Joel Embiid questionable due to knee issues and Tyrese Maxey struggling in the blowout. The Bucks are 18-26 without Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined by a calf strain, fueling fan memes and calls for change while some celebrate the affordable entry to pack the arena.
Honestly, I think it’s all bullshit and nearing propaganda levels of absurdity.
Can’t the Twitter algorithm check the weather in Philadelphia? It’s literally 18 degrees outside and we just got hit with the biggest snowstorm in over a decade.
Half of the streets aren’t even plowed and no one from the suburbs wants to venture down to the city, where traffic is already a nightmare, to watch the Sixers play on a random Tuesday night against an 18-26 Bucks team that’s already down Giannis Antetokounmpo, who’s dealing with a calf strain.
I don’t know, maybe that seems more logical than a complete drop off in fan interest because the team lost two straight games, one of which again, was without Embiid and Paul George playing.
Or hey, maybe it’s because the Sixers failed attempt at squeezing in a “Pride Night” on social before the game was figured out. Check this out… lol.
I would have never known outside of the fact that Xfinity Mobile Arena is lit up on the outside like a rainbow. To each their own, of course, but we have to consider all options for the cheap tickets. Inclusion at it’s finest, right?
Regardless of the reasons, trust me, I understand the doubts that Sixers fans have. They have hurt us a million times in the past, but to sit here and allow robot algorithms say that we have completely given up on this team seems like a wildly inaccurate accusation.
It’s the weather (or Pride Night), you idiots.
