It’s difficult to gauge just how unpopular Josh Harris has become in Philadelphia. Come Sunday, it will be easy to gauge it. Since he led a group that bought the 76ers in 2011, Harris has mismanaged the franchise with the relentless irresponsibility of Norman Braman’s Eagles and conducted himself with a complete lack of consideration for Philadelphia’s tender feelings.
The only thing standing in the Eagles' way of heading to the Super Bowl are the Commanders, which are owned by Sixers managing partner Josh Harris.
The subplot involving Harris, Philadelphia and the 76ers is so twisted. But it shouldn't overshadow the main focus for Washington on Sunday.
On the first day Josh Harris stepped behind the microphone to celebrate buying the 76ers, he promised fans the new ownership group cared deeply about the distressed franchise and vowed a holding that included Fanatics founder Michael Rubin and rapper Will Smith would return the team to greatness.

Josh Harris owns three professional sports teams, as he is the majority owner for the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and Washington Commanders. He also owns a minority stake in the Crystal Palace Football Club.

Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris has turned around the NFL franchise. Fans of his NBA team in Philadelphia are hoping for the same.

Daniels wanted to see the defeat through, even if that only meant handing off the ball on the final meaningless drive. Coach Dan Quinn had seen enough and gave Daniels a breather. His bid to become the first rookie QB to reach a Super Bowl was officially over.
