Sixers co-owner calls out judge for not allowing Meek Mill to see road game

The Philadelphia 76ers are in Toronto for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Raptors, but Sixers superfan Meek Mill was unable to make the trip to Canada to see the game after his travel request was not approved by Philadelphia judge Genece Brinkley.

Michael Rubin, co-owner of the Sixers, criticized Brinkley on Instagram this week, explaining that Meek Mill required the judge’s approval to travel outside of Pennsylvania as he is still under probation following an arrest in 2007.

Judge Genece Brinkley – I know you have a vendetta against Meek Mill and are obsessed with trying to control every aspect of his life, but did you really NOT approve him to go to rep the sixers in Toronto for the game? As soon as the schedule came out, Meek asked probation for approval- they immediately approved! (FOR EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND, MEEK MUST STILL GET THE JUDGES APPROVAL PERSONALLY EVERYTIME HE LEAVES PA SINCE HE’S STILL ON PROBATION 12 YEARS LATER FOR A CRIME HE DIDN’T COMMIT) We filed w/your court as soon as the schedule came out since you need to approve travel to Canada! Since you didn’t respond to numerous phone calls and emails we even sent a lawyer to the courthouse today!! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IF THIS HAPPENS TO MEEK, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO THE AVG PERSON(WHO CANT AFFORD GREAT LAWYERS ETC)ON PROBATION??
