Sixers players for the most part were unaware of what happened between R&B singer Sevyn Streeter and the team.
Streeter was banned from singing the National Anthem because she had on a “We Matter” shirt. When the players found out they weren’t pleased according to TMZ.
We know several players are upset. One player who wishes to remain anonymous says the decision to not let Sevyn sing has rubbed him the wrong way.
It’s not like there’s a locker room revolt in the works — but as one team source puts it, “The organization owes Sevyn an apology and we hope that happens soon.”
It would help if those players came out publicly and supported Streeter.
We will see what happens.
