What a JERK
rest - https://www.denverpost.com/2019/11/1...-ban-petition/A week removed from the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-half collapse in a 100-97 loss to the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center in Denver, a Philadelphia sports radio director is taking action.
Spike Eskin of WIP radio, who suggested Denver teams shouldn’t be allowed to have home games because of the city’s elevation during a Twitter rant last Friday, has now started a petition on change.org to do just that.
Titled “Ban Professional Sports In Denver,” the petition states that Denver’s mile-high elevation “creates an unfair advantage for the home team.”
“As has been public knowledge for a long time, athletes who travel to Denver who do not have the proper amount of time for their bodies to adjust, have trouble breathing when performing. A person from a cold weather climate participating in hot weather, that’s tough. A person from sea level competing in Denver, that’s cheating,” the petition reads. “We propose that all professional sports move teams out of Denver, so we can have fair outcomes for the sports we all care so much about.”
