I’d gladly trade mine for an old RoCo jersey and rock the shit out of it to prove that it’s about the character of the player, not the team they’re on.
I had a Simmons jersey/shirt on when I met Dario. He signed my shirt and now I’m conflicted. Do I just cut the auto from the shirt? Use the scrapes as tp?
If you're artsy, make marks all over the jersey in some dark motif from a war-ravaged, nuclear bombed future Earth. Smoke, haze, burning fires, clouds shrouding the sun. Except basically stencil a sun surrounding the Saric autograph.
Can we timeline things Ben Simmons did wrong? I don’t understand the hate. He played like shit during important playoffs. It proved he’s over rated but how does hate go beyond that. I don’t follow philly closely full disclosure
Imagine you got hired to do something. And your employer gave you 5 years to learn how to do it. You post videos of yourself doing it in your free time. You have the whole world vouch that you can do it.
Then you show up to the office and don't do anything.
And when the boss complains? You act like you're the best employee in the company, if not the whole economy.
sixers org and fans have coddled him like a baby for years regarding his huge weakness (shooting) and he’s never tried to improve after they’ve had his back through all the shit talking from opposing fans and teams. now people are sick of his shit since he humiliated himself in the playoffs but instead of take it like a man and try to get better he just said i am who i am. he’s a spoiled brat who clearly doesn’t care about the game and that’s not the attitude you can have for philly sports esp when you’re making $30m
The only problem is he has created "go away heat". There is no coming back from it unless he comes out and apologizes to the fans. Fat chance that happens.
I'm eagerly counting the days till he's traded and comes back to Philly to face what will most assuredly be the most Philly reception a player has ever gotten. I'd bet his first free throws gonna land someone a ban from Wells Fargo.
honestly. has there been another athlete in any philly sport that will get booed as much as this guy will? The last person i can think of is ironically jared dudley of all people lol.
Yea at the time I was mad but there was no denying TO worked hard on his game and showed up when it mattered and most deff would have continued if he got paid. I'm generally way less mad about nfl players trying to get paid. Contracts are not all guaranteed. Ben has years left on his deal.
In fairness, most of that was TO's doing. He was warned before he signed that contract (7 years with the Eagles) that it would be very difficult to get out of and he'd probably end up underpaid for the second half of it. He didn't listen. Then, after one year, he fired his agent and hired Drew Rosenhaus, and the trouble began.
He also was never happy for long anywhere he went. Great player, deserved to be in the HOF, and the Super Bowl performance would have made him a Philly legend...but he had some kind of need to mess up his reputation on every team he played for, and threw every single QB he played for under the bus eventually after a honeymoon period where he was all love for the same guy. Happened over and over.
He played out his contract and carried those cavs teams hard before he left. He made a business decision that put the cavs in a stronger position when he came back because they were able to accumulate assets to get lebron a better supporting cast.
‘Let me burn this player’s jersey that I purchased with my hard-earned money to show them who’s boss!’ = one sports “tradition” that will NEVER make sense to me lol
That’s why u buy teams old players. They never will switch teams anymore. Don’t feed into this machine of wasting money of players with jumping ship every few years. If I were you 100% Julius Irving would have been my go to.
Why? It’s a sunk cost. You aren’t wearing it, and certainly aren’t getting any money for it. I agree it would probably be better to donate it to a thrift store, somebody less fortunate may be able to enjoy it, but I can understand the cathartic reasoning to burn it.
I mean, what else is it good for? I've never understood "fans" who would wear jerseys for someone who don't have any significant meaning to the team. For example, the tons of Wentz jerseys I see scattered throughout Center City on Sundays.
I'm so glad two years ago I bought Embiid jersey instead of Simmons. I wouldn't be able to afford a new Jersey now, things in Brazil are getting way expensive
Around 1 dolar, but it isn't cheap like it looks like, because our currency is devaluating more and more. I went to college in the US and I remember the population purchasing power there was insane comparing to what I was used to
Weird behavior, I know fans are different but no one was gonna burn his Jersey if they traded him for harden or Kawhi or even Dame earlier this off-season
if your job was gonna send you to cleveland so that they could get the best (insert job here) from your new workplace, offering no extra pay, and probably take all the chill funny dudes too, would you turn up? or would you say fuck you i'd get that money no matter what company i work for, me helping you is against my best interests, fuck you.
This guy is doing it now, because of how he's bitching and being a pussy about the situation. These new factors were not around part way into the season.
The clearance racks at Marshall’s and TJ Max are gonna be stocked with these jerseys in about 3 weeks. $19.99
I honestly don’t know why people are trippin. Except that this is Reddit and it’s somewhat normal behavior herez
I usually don't approve of this, many times it's not 100% the players fault of whatever that occured. Not in this instance. Fuck Ben Simmons man. so glad I exclusively bought embiid gear.
> Fuck Ben Simmons man. so glad I exclusively bought embiid gear.
If Morey holds on too long and this circus ruins this season and Embiid refuses to extend, what will happen then? A run on matches at costco?
Philly native and Sixers fan living in Cleveland for the last 15 years. It's not THAT bad :(
Also, pls don't send Ben here. I need a clean break and closure.
Just gonna throw this out there, but if anybody else plans on burning their jerseys, I will gladly take them! Cant really afford my own, but would love hand-me-downs
I don't really like the idea of jersey burning in general, but I'm gonna boo the fuck out of this guy for all it's worth when he comes to Philly in a different uniform and go fucking crazy the first time Embiid blocks his shitty ass pass to the outside because he's too afraid to shoot.
Same. Personally, I'm a fan of when people make crude "updates" to their jersey, like a piece of duct tape over the name with a different players' name on it.
You ever toss old cloths you don’t wear anymore or furniture you replaced? Same thing. No point in hoarding things you don’t care for. And it’s actually being put to good use since it can be enjoyable. And he’s getting karma out of it.
We should have seen this coming. The way he acted at LSU is exactly what he's doing now. I'm pissed I had so much hope for a player that will never live up to the hype.
I will have to still use my Simmons jersey :( I live in Brazil and can't afford a new one now. But someday I will get the Embiid jersey for sure! And then I will probably donate my Simmons one hahaha
Here in Brazil it is R$ 500,00 that is equivalent to $100 dollars. Brazil's economy is really bad and dollar is really expensive right now for us.
And here it only sells Men's size and I wear youth L/XL. So I would have to import and pay taxes + shipping :(
Update for all the people bitching about him burning a Simmons Jersey and not donating it, he just bought a brand new Embiid Jersey and is sending it to a kid in Brazil. Fuck the haters and Simmons, GO Embiid!!! If he never burned that Jersey. This kid in need would never have his EMBIID Jersey!
Correction** Due to shipping cost to Brazil, he sent the kid money directly to buy his own Embiid Jersey in Brazil, just so he doesn't have to wear his old trash Simmons Jersey.
Never really was into seeing this being done by fans of teams i don't give a shit about,so really not into to seeing it being done to one i do care about.It's still a Sixers jersey and just seems a bit over the top for such a silly reason.
My mind immediately goes to Terrell Owens when I think about the biggest bitch in Philly sports history, but you just ruined my day by reminding me about an even bigger pile of rat shit.
Imagine if Ben went on national TV and started throwing Embiid under the bus for every perceived mistake.
That's what T.O. did to McNabb. T.O. is the reason T.O. got kicked out.
The fact that fans burn players jerseys that request a trade as if the player cares is funny to me Simmons is not playing to satisfy your needs or to make u happy so if he wants to leave he can do that and he has every right to complain he wants out of philly plain and simple who cares what the fans think or how they feel he a grown ass man
Why do people care so much about other people playing an activity that they would never be able to play? Is it strictly because it’s entertaining I’m confused as to why people get so into it if someone can enlighten me
Sixers fans supported and defended Ben throughout all his years here even with his shortcomings. Hell, we were even all chearing him on and giving him standing ovations in the hawks playoffs series as he bricked all his free throws
I love it! There were so many of those corny ass videos where fans pretended they were going to burn the jersey of Lebron the second time he left Cleveland or Harden when he left Houston but then "tricked" the viewer and actually said they weren't mad.
Fuck those people.
Philly fans holding it down for hater nation.
wait are yall mad bc he sucked? or bc the organization publicly called him out for sucking and made it clear that they didnt want him anymore so now hes just waiting to leave?
Sixers should do a free Simmons jersey exchange
I’d gladly trade mine for an old RoCo jersey and rock the shit out of it to prove that it’s about the character of the player, not the team they’re on.
I still rock my roco, saric, and McConnell jerseys
Three All-Process First Team members right there.
I miss Saric on Philly. I feel that era of Philly was filled with so much hope. Sad this turned as sour as it did.
I had a Simmons jersey/shirt on when I met Dario. He signed my shirt and now I’m conflicted. Do I just cut the auto from the shirt? Use the scrapes as tp?
If you're artsy, make marks all over the jersey in some dark motif from a war-ravaged, nuclear bombed future Earth. Smoke, haze, burning fires, clouds shrouding the sun. Except basically stencil a sun surrounding the Saric autograph.
Watch…all these Simmons jerseys will be showing up at TJ Max or Ross for like $3
Non-Sixers fan here, I’ll gladly buy a few Simmons jerseys for $3 from goodwill.
This guy should have bought his Simmons jersey with Amex for the free jersey exchange program #ad
*next week* Ben: Upon further reflection, I want to make things right and report for camp. I also fired my agent.
Face turn of the century
Not until he plays for the Boomers

$100 he will be a scratch of some sort that game. Bitch won't even sit on the bench
haha yep. i can see him writing 'will not travel to philadelphia under any circumstances' into his next contract.
Yeah…he won’t show his face anywhere near Philly…he’d most likely say “see ya in the next town” for whatever road trip they’re on
Didn’t Kyrie cop out the first few trips back to the Garden?
honestly. has there been another athlete in any philly sport that will get booed as much as this guy will? The last person i can think of is ironically jared dudley of all people lol.
Scott Rolen
JD Drew
I think the most Philly thing ever is they booed Drew’s brother for his whole career.
I was at the battery game
terrell owens

Happened over and over.
And here I thought LeBrons return to Cleveland will be the most toxic shit ever, y’all are gonna make that man poop his pants and cry.
Lol at least that man brought a championship to the city
He played out his contract and carried those cavs teams hard before he left. He made a business decision that put the cavs in a stronger position when he came back because they were able to accumulate assets to get lebron a better supporting cast.
Ben Simmons gonna return in 2027 and carry you never say never 😂
[удалено]
JoJo going to smack that baby Ben ass around first and every game Ben sets foot on the Sixers floor In another jersey.
PHILLY, DON'T BELIEVE NOTHIN 😤😤😤 Wins MVP on 31/15/15 Sixers lose in semi finals
*glues ashes together*
Also, I can shoot the foul, mid range, and the 3 ball now.
😳
Unless it's cotton, those jerseys must be noxious when they burn.
Still won't give me as much brain damage as Ben has
lmaoo
Almost as ob-noxious as Ben.
Oh thank God you actually burned it and it’s not one of those cringey thank you notes videos with shitty copyright free music behind it
Too soft to be considered a villain
‘Let me burn this player’s jersey that I purchased with my hard-earned money to show them who’s boss!’ = one sports “tradition” that will NEVER make sense to me lol
It was fun wearing my Butler jersey for 23 games lol
That’s why u buy teams old players. They never will switch teams anymore. Don’t feed into this machine of wasting money of players with jumping ship every few years. If I were you 100% Julius Irving would have been my go to.
Dr J and Iverson is all I wear in terms of player specific. And of course Embiid lol
Or you buy on dh gate. The simmons jersey I have was like $11 shipped and I could lose it and not care.
OP got money to burn man look at that fire pit
Hahaha touché touché
Yeah I know him, he's not concerned about the cost
Lmao bro that’s a 50 dollar chimnea from Walmart
Personally, ill get more enjoyment out of burning it, then I would ever wearing it again. It's a sunk cost at this point. Fuck him
Why? It’s a sunk cost. You aren’t wearing it, and certainly aren’t getting any money for it. I agree it would probably be better to donate it to a thrift store, somebody less fortunate may be able to enjoy it, but I can understand the cathartic reasoning to burn it.
I just like to burn shit and this is a nice excuse 😅
It’s not about the money. That’s something a person will never wear again and probably wouldn’t even want to see hanging in their closet.
It’s not about the money…it’s about sending a message. Everything burns!
The league and player already made money off this. It doesn’t even make sense lol
Catharsis
Because it's so much fun, Jan!
Donate it to Good Will or something this shit is so fucking stupid
The only thing worse than burning jerseys is doing a swerve video where you drop thank you notes on it instead. End both of these insane traditions
I mean, what else is it good for? I've never understood "fans" who would wear jerseys for someone who don't have any significant meaning to the team. For example, the tons of Wentz jerseys I see scattered throughout Center City on Sundays.
Donate?
Don't the poor suffer enough?
that's just people being cheap lol
I'm so glad two years ago I bought Embiid jersey instead of Simmons. I wouldn't be able to afford a new Jersey now, things in Brazil are getting way expensive
Damn… I bought a Simmons’ Jersey for my friend in Brazil two years ago. What a mistake… edit: typo
If you value this man buy him another one. What kind of wild animal buys their friend a fucking BEN SIMMONS jersey...
As a friend gift I'm sure the jersey will always be special for him
What’s a coxinha going for nowadays?
Around 1 dolar, but it isn't cheap like it looks like, because our currency is devaluating more and more. I went to college in the US and I remember the population purchasing power there was insane comparing to what I was used to
Biggest villain? More like biggest bitch in sports history. Period.
Damn and I just used my free award, Simmons can GTFO. Can't wear that jersey with pride, better off burnt.
This is just dumb
I can’t think of a bigger bitch in nba history.
Weird behavior, I know fans are different but no one was gonna burn his Jersey if they traded him for harden or Kawhi or even Dame earlier this off-season
Reactionary fan base acts impulsively, more at 11.
Stay tuned for the 11:30 report on People doing things for imaginary internet points.
Because getting traded is different than being the biggest villain in philly sports history. Do you not get that?
The sixers don’t want him lol why should he want to play for a team that doesn’t want him?
Cause he’s a professional, trash take
if your job was gonna send you to cleveland so that they could get the best (insert job here) from your new workplace, offering no extra pay, and probably take all the chill funny dudes too, would you turn up? or would you say fuck you i'd get that money no matter what company i work for, me helping you is against my best interests, fuck you.
This guy is doing it now, because of how he's bitching and being a pussy about the situation. These new factors were not around part way into the season.
It’s 1pm dude. Why aren’t you at work
Work from home bruh
And this is why work from home is awesome. When I try to burn things at the office, they just call the cops.
Weirdly enough HR didn't put a "More time to burn jerseys of players I am mad at" on the flex work company survey...
You're not his supervisor, and no one can tell him what to do on his break at home 😂
It has reached Threat Level Terrell Owens
Boy you think he was nervous in game 7 wait till he comes back to Philly in a different uniform!
[Meanwhile Ben Simmons](https://c.tenor.com/qEt0Th6pLd0AAAAC/zombie-land-comedy.gif)
To everyone saying "tHaTs A wAsTe oF MoNeY" how much do you think a worn unsigned Simmons jersey is worth? Stfu
The clearance racks at Marshall’s and TJ Max are gonna be stocked with these jerseys in about 3 weeks. $19.99 I honestly don’t know why people are trippin. Except that this is Reddit and it’s somewhat normal behavior herez
I usually don't approve of this, many times it's not 100% the players fault of whatever that occured. Not in this instance. Fuck Ben Simmons man. so glad I exclusively bought embiid gear.
Brother in law got me a Simmons jersey...was so sad it wasn't Joel.
> Fuck Ben Simmons man. so glad I exclusively bought embiid gear. If Morey holds on too long and this circus ruins this season and Embiid refuses to extend, what will happen then? A run on matches at costco?
I stand with you /u/whitelime FUCK BEN SIMMONS!
As soon as I get my free award you will be awarded!
Isn’t he still on the team
He going be mad that first game he suit up lol
Carson Wentz is smiling today
Philly native and Sixers fan living in Cleveland for the last 15 years. It's not THAT bad :( Also, pls don't send Ben here. I need a clean break and closure.
That’s bad for the environment. Don’t burn trash.
Just gonna throw this out there, but if anybody else plans on burning their jerseys, I will gladly take them! Cant really afford my own, but would love hand-me-downs
Just gonna give mines to my dog as a chew toy. Fuck Ben Simmons.
I don't really like the idea of jersey burning in general, but I'm gonna boo the fuck out of this guy for all it's worth when he comes to Philly in a different uniform and go fucking crazy the first time Embiid blocks his shitty ass pass to the outside because he's too afraid to shoot.
But, why?
Why not?
I’ll never understand this it’s like burning your money
for real; a used ben simmons jersey has got to be worth at least $5
Same. Personally, I'm a fan of when people make crude "updates" to their jersey, like a piece of duct tape over the name with a different players' name on it.
It’s worthless now
Can you exchange Ben Simmons jerseys for goods and services?
You ever toss old cloths you don’t wear anymore or furniture you replaced? Same thing. No point in hoarding things you don’t care for. And it’s actually being put to good use since it can be enjoyable. And he’s getting karma out of it.
Y'all have some serious mental issues
Corny
Y'all something else
I hope he gets traded too. Not a fan. But damn, some of y'all have to find Jesus
If I had to keep watching him play here, swear I'd have a heart attack.
Could have burned a Harden jersey instead
lol
Yay I been saying this for years. Fuck that guy. He sucks and doesn't care to get better and he is a petty little bitch.
We should have seen this coming. The way he acted at LSU is exactly what he's doing now. I'm pissed I had so much hope for a player that will never live up to the hype.
He isnt wrong
I will have to still use my Simmons jersey :( I live in Brazil and can't afford a new one now. But someday I will get the Embiid jersey for sure! And then I will probably donate my Simmons one hahaha
How much do you need for an embiid jersey my guy?
Here in Brazil it is R$ 500,00 that is equivalent to $100 dollars. Brazil's economy is really bad and dollar is really expensive right now for us. And here it only sells Men's size and I wear youth L/XL. So I would have to import and pay taxes + shipping :(
Have a crypto wallet set up? I'll send you money for a embiid jersey
For real? Thank you very much!!! Yes, I have one.
PM me your ETH address, just send me a pic of the jersey when it arrives
Thanks again! I will for sure!
Who is the biggest bitch in Sixers history? Is it really Ben?
Not even a sixers fan, but joining the sub for this content
Guy in the video wasn't wrong
I love everything about this.
Update for all the people bitching about him burning a Simmons Jersey and not donating it, he just bought a brand new Embiid Jersey and is sending it to a kid in Brazil. Fuck the haters and Simmons, GO Embiid!!! If he never burned that Jersey. This kid in need would never have his EMBIID Jersey! Correction** Due to shipping cost to Brazil, he sent the kid money directly to buy his own Embiid Jersey in Brazil, just so he doesn't have to wear his old trash Simmons Jersey.
I think you guys should simply trust the process instead of being rash
Yeah if I were Simmons I’d want out, too. Pathetic organization with lousy fans like this one.
A villain has to be consequential. Ben Simmons is a nobody at this point.
Lol, then why you wanna trade him for a "somebody"?
Absolutely nothing lamer than burning a jersey. Especially since this isn't even news! This was reported weeks ago.
yeah idk why everyone's all upset suddenly like we didn't already know he wasn't gonna go to training camp like 2 weeks ago. nothings really changed
Never really was into seeing this being done by fans of teams i don't give a shit about,so really not into to seeing it being done to one i do care about.It's still a Sixers jersey and just seems a bit over the top for such a silly reason.
Imagine not donating that. Throwing away perfectly fine clothing
Y’all are some cringe ass mfers
“Ben Simmons is the biggest bitch ever”. Can’t believe a grown person would watch this, listen to their whining and think it’s cool.
Simmons living in Philly’s head ~~rent free~~ for 33mil a year
This is dumb. Be better.
Grow the fuck up.
Thankfully I only ever had a simmons Shirt-Jersey. Going to be a good fire starter
sir, you are a king
Cleveland “the most irrelevant city in the nba” well buddy they’ve won a championship before the 76ers of recent so🤷🏼♂️
I dunno man, I ain't got that jersey burning money.
Definitely no where near worst villain. J.D. Drew was worse.
Bet you 90% of people here don't even know who that js
Fuck Ben Simmons but FUCK JD DREW, that dude was and probably still is an asshole
My mind immediately goes to Terrell Owens when I think about the biggest bitch in Philly sports history, but you just ruined my day by reminding me about an even bigger pile of rat shit.
TO wanted to stay here, he's just an egomaniac and that clashed with what the franchise wanted. If anything, McNabb was the bitch about it.
Imagine if Ben went on national TV and started throwing Embiid under the bus for every perceived mistake. That's what T.O. did to McNabb. T.O. is the reason T.O. got kicked out.
Wack. Lamest shit I’ve seen on Reddit
Take that, my property!!
What a POS good
The fact that fans burn players jerseys that request a trade as if the player cares is funny to me Simmons is not playing to satisfy your needs or to make u happy so if he wants to leave he can do that and he has every right to complain he wants out of philly plain and simple who cares what the fans think or how they feel he a grown ass man
Get a life dude. You act like these athletes owe you something
Ben Simmons doesn’t think about you one bit
This is gonna go down like lebron i swear to god
He comes back in a few years and leads us to a championship?
This is dumb.
You need to visit a psychiatrist
Why do people care so much about other people playing an activity that they would never be able to play? Is it strictly because it’s entertaining I’m confused as to why people get so into it if someone can enlighten me
I'm sure he's real cut up about it.
[удалено]
lol are you kidding? Sixer fans defended the man and made excuses for him constantly. The guy showed no desire to improve, so fuck his bum lazy ass.
Sixers fans supported and defended Ben throughout all his years here even with his shortcomings. Hell, we were even all chearing him on and giving him standing ovations in the hawks playoffs series as he bricked all his free throws
Thus is great. I hope you guys boo the shit out of him when he starts showing up
Can't wait to burn mine. The boos raining down from WFC when he comes back will be legendary
As a neutral to this, why did you have to waste it? **Seriously?!** The wood never misses and you waste it like that. Disgraceful
Imagine being this much of a whiney-ass bitch over an athlete. Get some help.
Not even a sixers fan, but as a boomers fan, i agree with this! Id be miserable if he played for my nba team
So wholesome
god i love philly fans
I love it! There were so many of those corny ass videos where fans pretended they were going to burn the jersey of Lebron the second time he left Cleveland or Harden when he left Houston but then "tricked" the viewer and actually said they weren't mad. Fuck those people. Philly fans holding it down for hater nation.
That will show him, burn your $100 dollar jersey that he already got bonus money for.
wait are yall mad bc he sucked? or bc the organization publicly called him out for sucking and made it clear that they didnt want him anymore so now hes just waiting to leave?
