Sixers Co-Owner Talks Supporting Meek Mill, Says The Judge Is “A Danger To Society”

In the weeks since Meek Mill was sentenced to 2-4 years in prison for violating probation, the rapper has received support from civil rights leaders, celebrities and high-level executives, including Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin.

Upon learning of the Philadelphia native’s probation violation hearing, Rubin believed Meek would receive light punishment. But, when the judge prohibited Meek from leaving the city, Rubin grew concerned about the case, Bleacher Report states.

“He was at too many games because he wasn’t allowed to leave the city,” Rubin said. “It didn’t make any sense to me. His job is to perform, and the judge wasn’t letting him perform. He was giving up millions of dollars.”

According to Bleacher Report, as he kept an eye on the case, he realized that everything that he heard about the judge had been true. From the harsh sentence for violating probation, which stems from decade-old drugs and gun charges to the outlandish demands of changes in Meek’s music career, “Everything I’d heard about this judge was accurate,” Rubin, who attended the hearing, said.

“Had I not seen it in person, I probably would not have gotten to this point of feeling like I have to stand up for him because he’s being treated so unfairly, and he can’t do this on his own,” Rubin continued. “Meek is a diehard Sixers fan-they generally play his music for the intro. He’s a staple-someone the team cares a lot about, and someone that I personally care a lot about.”

“I’m one of the biggest taxpayers in the state of Pennsylvania, and I’m paying for him to be in jail, which is complete injustice,” Rubin added. “I’m spending a lot of time trying to fix this wrong.”

Earlier this week, Judge Genece Brinkley denied Meek’s request for bail, saying he was a “danger to the community,” to which Rubin vehemently disagrees.

“The judge said that he’s a danger to society? She’s a danger to society!” Rubin said. “I’m surprised that more people haven’t picked up on this story. I’d like anybody who can make a difference to look at this and say they’re not going to tolerate one bad character – this judge- to allow someone to sit in prison who has a six-year-old kid. It tells me that probation laws are completely broken in the state of Pennsylvania. Meek is incredibly appreciative of everyone’s support. I’m underwhelmed by it.”
