- Co-founder of Apollo Global Management also owns NHL’s Devils
- Says owners need to speak out, do ‘something’ to fight racism
NBA owners met last week to discuss the league’s long-awaited return to play at Disney World in July. The meeting ended up being mostly about racism and what the league could do to fix the problem, said Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris.
“We have a crisis going on in our society and sports, particularly sports that I’m involved with,” Harris, who’s also co-owner of the New Jersey Devils hockey club, said in a Bloomberg “Front Row” interview.
