A sportscaster out of Philadelphia took to Twitter to suggest that altitude is giving Denver pro sports teams an “unfair and unreasonable” physical advantage over visiting teams.
The series of tweets came before the Denver Nuggets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in a game last November at Pepsi Center.
Remember when watching tonight’s game that the home court advantage in Denver is unfair and unreasonable considering the physical disadvantage that the visiting team has. Denver should not have any home games if we insist on giving them pro teams.

imagine at a sports arena if they pressurized it so the away team would have trouble breathing? it would be disallowed immediately. this is basically what happens in Denver. #BanDenver

the only way big, soft Jokic can compete with a guy like Embiid is with an unfair advantage that literally makes it hard for Embiid to breathe. disgusting.
