Philadelphia's 76ers Pull Boner

One of the ways the Philadelphia 76ers celebrate Black History Month is to honor prominent African-Americans for outstanding contributions to the Delaware Valley community. Selected to be the honoree for a "Community All-Star Award" was Shamsud-din Ali, a politically connected Muslim cleric. Unfortunately, general office personnel haven't been keeping abreast of current events.

Ali and his wife, Faridah Ali, 55, the director and assistant director of Sister Clara Muhammad School, have been under federal investigation for three years for allegedly hiring no-show teachers for non-existent classes for an adult basic-education program funded by the Community College of Philadelphia, according to sources.

A federal indictment is expected very soon.

OOOPS!
