The team provided the following statement on behalf of Burke.
"Earlier today, I was made aware of my dad's social media post," the statement read. "While I appreciate the support he's shown throughout my career, his comments don't reflect how I feel and we've addressed that. My focus is doing whatever I can to help this team win a championship. I appreciate the support this organization, the fans and city of Philadelphia have shown me."
