Why Was Tristan Thompson at the White House?
The star was trolled on social media for bragging about meeting the controversial politicians.
The Cleveland Cavaliers star was at the White House to discuss how college athletes can be better protected when it comes to their earnings.
"Well, what we want to do is create a program for them," Thompson explained. "At the end of the day for us, especially myself being a former college athlete, the NIL (name, image and likeness) is a lot of capital. Kids are making a lot of money, but we need to create a system to protect that money."
The NBA player said he loved touring the building.
Continued Thompson, "Not everyone has the ability and the fortune to play in the NFL or MLB or NBA, so those that might not make it to that level, how can we set them up for their future? A lot of these kids are making six figures [through the NIL]."
The star attended the University of Texas before being drafted to the NBA in 2011.
