The Philadelphia 76ers found themselves in the middle of another social media blunder Saturday, only this time it was their new general manager apologizing for posts made by the father of one of their players.
In a statement released Saturday afternoon, GM Elton Brand brought to light "inappropriate and offensive social media posts from Bob Muscala," the father of forward Mike Muscala.
Bob Muscala had been operating a burner account on Twitter under the name "MuskieBobber," a team source confirmed to both the Philly Voice and ESPN. Past tweets made by the account included racist messaging used to criticize the Jimmy Butler situation with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
