Steve Kerr reportedly stated a plan for the NBA-champion Warriors to decline an invitation to visit President Donald Trump’s White House. Then, Kerr espoused the virtues of going.
Kerr, via Ramona Shelburne of ESPN:
“We will meet as a team to discuss it and make a decision,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told ESPN.
“The league isn’t going to tell us what to do. They know it’s our decision and that, for me, really, it’s the players’ decision.
As yet, Kerr confirmed that no such invitation has been extended by the Trump administration.
If the Warriors commit to attending, they’d probably get invited. It seems the White House just doesn’t want egg on its face by extending an invitation that could get declined.
Regardless, Golden State almost certainly isn’t going.
Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala have publicly stated their opposition. Even if there’s a player in that locker room who wants to go – and I’m not sure there is – who has the clout to stand up to those three? The tone has already been set.
