When that ex Army Ranger that played in Pittsburgh didn't stay in the Locker Room and protest the Anthem? Tomlin called him a distraction. But when this gall goes after a fan in the stands? She's not.
Weird, I thought it was all about the right to peacefully protest....but now this side doesn't like what's being protested so everyone should just go and watch basketball and leave the protesting out of it. This is what is wrong with America. Neither side gives a shit what the other is saying, and they end up bitching about the exact same things, only revolving around different topics.“Tash didn’t want to feel like she was a distraction; I told her she wasn’t,” Marsh said. “I told her that we all embrace her as someone that protects our team and protects the people that need to be protected. And so Tash is always going to stand on that, and then we stand for Tash.”
Asked after the game if he had any message for the groups rallying against transgender athletes in women’s sports, Marsh referred to statements he made in past weeks. Marsh then alluded to Kanter’s intentions in attending the game without naming him.
“There’s so much good things about this league and so many good things about the play of these players. And if you come to a game, you should probably come to enjoy the basketball, and that seems pretty simple to me,”

Tricia Smith, a fan who said she sat next to Freedom, said Cloud instigated the confrontation on Sunday night.
“Natasha Cloud scored. She came over and threw her hands up and was talking s— to his face,” said Smith, a Boise, Idaho, native, who said she didn’t know Freedom before the game. “So he stood up and said, like, ‘What? What do you want?’ He didn’t do a thing. I’ve sat next to him the whole game. He’s a great guy. He’s taken probably 50 pictures tonight.”
