PhillyVoice fired Sixers beat writer for criticizing the team’s pro-Israel statement
Jackson Frank, the Philadelphia 76ers reporter for PhillyVoice, was terminated following his critique of the team’s endorsement of Israel.
“We stand with the people of Israel and join them in mourning the hundreds of innocent lives lost to terrorism at the hands of Hamas. #StandWithIsrael,” the 76ers posted on X Sunday.
Frank shared the post with his own commentary: “This post sucks! Solidarity with Palestine always.”
He has since deleted his Twitter account.
“Mr. Frank is no longer employed by PhillyVoice.com as of today,” PhillyVoice.com CEO Hal Donnelly told The New York Post in a statement. “We stand with everyone who is absolutely outraged by the senseless attacks in Israel, by the loss of innocent lives and violence against civilians.”
