Former Sixers’ minority owner Michael Rubin made some stunning admissions during a recent appearance. Many fans know of Rubin, a court-side staple at Sixers games, and friend of Joel Embiid’s plus the founder of mega-popular brand Fanatics.
And according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Rubin admits that when he sold his minority stake of the team and focused on other business ventures, he felt:
“...’much more connected’ to sports now that he is no longer a minority owner of the 76ers — and acknowledged the conflicts of interests that arose as he grew the Fanatics brand as its CEO.
