Gilbert is a Trump supporter, so you can’t be surprised by this.
Just another rich white man telling black people how we should protest a struggle they never had to deal with. Here is what he had to say about athletes kneeling for anthem.
Gilbert said it was “bad choice.”
“There’s a million ways you can express yourself and you should do that, for sure. Taking a knee in the United States of America while millions of people are watching, I think it’s a poor example,” Gilbert said.
What would Gilbert do if a Cavalier decided to take such action?
“I hope we don’t ever have to come with that,” Gilbert said.
Iman Shumpert said he would kneel, but then changed his mind, makes you wonder why he did that? Obviously, if someone like LeBron did it, there is nothing Gilbert would say, but LeBron isn’t willing to go that far with it.
I think it is a bad choice Gilbert was raising money for Trump, I think he is setting a poor example, but do you think he would listen to me?
What people like Gilbert are saying is they want any protest to be done quietly and politically correct, so they can ignore it.
Funny how that works.
