GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS REPORTEDLY WILL SNUB PRESIDENT TRUMP AFTER WINNING NBA TITLE
But before the fizz had gone off the champagne, reports are out that the Warriors are likely to snub President Donald Trump by declining to make the traditional visit to the White House. According to the liberal blog Raw
"The NBA champion Golden State Warriors unanimously agreed to skip the customary White House visit, according to reports, although the team hasn’t yet commented. The team, led by superstars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, unanimously decided not to accept congratulations from President Donald Trump.Warriors coach Steve Kerr has ripped Trump as a “blowhard” and “ill-suited” for the office, and player David West said the president was a poor role model. “All the tactics that he used to get elected are the very things that someone like me, who works with youth on a consistent basis, are the things that we try to talk our young folks out of being,” West said. “We try to talk our young people out of being bullies. We try to talk our young men out of disrespecting women. We try to talk our young people into being accepting of other people’s opinions and other people’s walks of life.”The White House visit is a longtime tradition for winners of major sports championships. The ongoing politicization of the games is a big turnoff to fans as the NFL can attest to after the Colin Kaepernick national anthem fiasco.
Sports is an escape valve from the day to day grind and troubles of the world yet multi-millionaire prima donnas are increasingly using their personas to push an extreme left political message that will ultimately result in people tuning out and finding something better to do.
UPDATE: As it turns out, this story (at least for the time being) is false, propagated by someone in the rabid snarling anti-Trump Sports Media. Ironically it came from a blog named "A Shred of Truth". But I stand by my opinion basketball is a useless waste of good time.....much like soccer.
