The answer seems to be be the affirmative following a change of major stockholders in the Flyers, one of six new expansion teams. It is common knowledge that the NFL commissioner doesn’t approve of football owners holding stock in other major-league sports franchises, so that’s apparently the reason Jerry Wolman, owner of the Eagles, has withdrawn from the Flyers’ picture.
