Report: Sixers owners looking to run NFL team in London

BROOKLYN - If the on-court happenings of the 76ers aren't very interesting, the off-the-court activities certainly are.

According to Forbes magazine, Sixers owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer are looking to become the first owners of an NFL team in London and would flip the Sixers in order to do it, a source told the magazine.

Before Thursday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets, Sixers public relations director Mike Preston said, in part, that the reports "are not true."

Harris and Blitzer, also owners of the NHL's New Jersey Devils, recently invested in the Crystal Palace Football Club in London in order to "get to know the market," according to the source for the magazine.
