Joe West is a Trump supporter::

“I wouldn’t take that from a player. I wouldn’t take that from a manager," said West. "If it was Donald Trump, I’d eject him, too. But I’d still vote for him.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. West peruses these very boards. You all should all offer an apology.

Naw, fuck thar guy.

He can vote whatever way he likes - but he called for an ejection purely to puff his own chest.

There wasn't anyone in even the neighboring suite. That was a stupid flaunt of the only ounce of power his sport has left.
