The Sixers faced questions about transparency, trust and diversity commitments at their final community information session.
The consistent throughline during the conversations was the arena’s potential future neighbor: Chinatown.David Gould, the chief diversity and impact officer for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which owns and operates the Sixers, started off Thursday night’s meeting the way he has each one: saying that the Sixers wanted to use these community sessions to address false information about the arena proposal.
The chosen format fostered more mistrust among some community members, who called the meetings infomercials. It was not a forum, she said, where people could feel heard, especially for Chinatown residents who are older, don’t speak English, and struggle with technology. “The interpretation was garbled and didn’t make sense, and we left early because we couldn’t understand anything the developers were saying,” Wang Yu Ming, a Chinatown business owner, said in a statement. “The developers had over a year, and they still don’t even know how to translate for the community.”
