A singer is censored. Because of her jersey.
Talented popular music singer Sevyn Streeter said that the Philadelphia 76ers instituted impromptu “prior restraint,” or essentially censorship, and denied her singing of the national anthem on Wednesday because she wore a jersey that read “We Matter.”
It was only days ago when we heard that Elton Brand would be leading the organization and team, with the guidance of league officials and the players’ union on how to respectfully decline or protest the anthem because of racial injustice in the United States.
Shortly after that, he was waived and then retired.
