Props To The Bouncers At Xfinity Live For Making The Sixers TJ McConnell Pay $10 To Enter After A Game

Pitt – T.J. McConnell had just finished a recent game with the Philadelphia 76ers when he and his father, a few family members and some friends decided to visit an establishment within walking distance of Wells Fargo Center. T.J. was first to the door when a worker announced there was a $10 cover charge, but free admittance with a 76ers ticket stub.

“He played,” said Tim McConnell, pointing at his son.

The worker still wanted $10.

“No, you don’t understand. He played in the game,” Tim McConnell tried to reason.

No matter. It was $10.

Good. He’s not Iverson. He’s not Okafor. Hell, he’s barley Pepe Sanchez. It’s TJ McConnell. A 6’2 guy from Pittsburgh that looks just as white as your average cracker barrel. I have no issue with the bouncers not only failing to recognizing him OR making TJ pay his common man’s way into Xfinity Live once they discovered who he was. Not to mention I’d make him pay too if Pops was being overly proud/helicopter to let everyone know his son plays for the Sixers. Oh, your boy put up his average of 6 points in 19 minutes tonight? Big whoop. Nice to see the bouncers giving everyone the Paulie from Goodfellas treatment – Fuck you, pay me. Plus he’s making $525,093 this season and $874,636 the next. I think poor little TJ can spare a couple Hamiltons to get inside. Now sit down, shut up, and cue the damn music.
