The Thunder put out a statement on their take on racial injustice in our country. To be frank, I’ve seen the Thunder do some really positive things in our state to help people of all colors. I know in reality both Clay Bennett and Sam Presti could never publicly say what they think about Donald Trump given the political breakdown of the people who buy their tickets.
I would guess Clay Bennett to be a Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush type of Heritage Foundation guy. I’m not sure about Presti in that he’s so closed to the media except for the rare pressers he gives now and then. But I would guess privately he has little love for Trump.
Presti doesn’t strike me as one who could tolerate the absolute and total ignorance of Donald Trump. I think he actually has a history and business degree as I do. We’d probably hit it off in a great way. But you know… he has this thing with Little Nick Gallo.
The Thunder released a statement yesterday. This is the last paragraph of the statement:
‘We believe that change starts by leading through love, empathy, understanding and leaning on the relationships that we have in place to continue to create a positive impact.’
