Uni Watch: Sixers relocating to “classier” city

Last week, our interview with Chris Heck caused a stir in Philadelphia, as some of his comments were perceived as being classist by Sixers fans. Today, Heck has returned to explain his comments and announce the team’s exciting new direction.

First, Heck addresses his comments and his subsequent apology:

“I made a mistake. And when you make a mistake you have to first apologize and then move on. I tweeted out my apology right away, and I moved on by deleting that tweet and blocking everyone who criticized me.”

In the spirit of moving on, Heck tells us about big changes coming for the organization.
