NFL’s Jason Kelce has torn into Ben Simmons for his persistent refusal to link up with Philadelphia 76ers
Ben Simmons is ensuring that even the smallest of support he’s garnering at the moment vanishes up in smoke.
The player has over the course of time managed to leave everyone associated with him irked. And just at a time when it looked he finally had sense knocked into his head as he returned to the 76ers training camp, Simmons showed that he was only there for the money and not to put to bed the issues between him and the side.
He was kicked out of practice and suspended for his side’s season opener by head coach Doc Rivers after refusing to be subbed into a drill. Simmons felt no remorse over his actions either with him going onto tell Doc Rivers, Joel Embiid and the entire 76ers side that he wasn’t mentally fit to partake in the side’s shooting rotations.

Eagles center Jason Kelce on the Ben Simmons situation: “Everybody can bitch and complain about how tough this city is to play in. Just play better man, this city will love you.”
