The changes he made to the tunnel intrigued me so I did some digging into his former jobs. He went so far as to change the uniform of the 76ers! I'm glad there are rules against that sort of thing in football

Basketball fans have been clamoring for the return of these uniforms for over a decade. This design is arguably seen as the most iconic of the early 2000s. Now is the right time for this move for many logical reasons.

Longtime 76ers President Chris Heck was the man who had the final say on the franchise’s uniforms when he was in charge. And Heck was extremely vocal about his disdain for these black uniforms.

Quote
More from Heck:

“they wanted the Iverson throwback and I said, “No, we’re not doing it. I think they sold out with that uniform, I think they were wrong to the brand, and come hell or high water, we’re not going back to that uniform.”

If he does not show out in the next couple of days can this thread be renamed “Where’s Wally”

Heck’s been giving the Ambassador of Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 a tour of VP according to a LinkedIn post the Heck liked

“Visit to Aston Villa Football Club and meeting with its President for Business Operations Mr. Christopher Heck to discuss potential areas for cooperation”

Maybe they were quoting to fix the bogs

Nice, the Uzbek Ambassador graduated from the University of Birmingham so probably became a Villa fan when he was in Brum.

Maybe the heard about "the cells" and thought this was a football club they could get behind.
