Stop The Hate

Dear Marcus,

Enough with the trash talk. 

I want to address something that’s been bothering many of us lately: your ongoing comments about Joel Embiid, especially regarding his late brother.

Your remarks have consistently crossed the line, whether it’s criticizing his work ethic or questioning his toughness on the court. It seems like you often bring up controversial topics just for the views, but targeting personal tragedies is a low blow that we don’t need in sports commentary.

Joel has faced immense challenges, and your disrespect only adds to the burden. It’s possible to critique a player's performance without attacking their character or personal life. Let’s keep the focus on the game and the athletes' skills instead of sensationalizing their struggles for clicks.

I hope we can all strive for a more respectful dialogue moving forward.

Signed,

A Philadelphia Sixers fan
