Although the team has not made an official announcement, the Golden State Warriors have unanimously declined to visit the White House. Before becoming the finals champs, Michele Roberts, Executive Director of the NBA Player Association, announced that neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the Warriors would accept an invitation to the White House, despite who won.
It’s not surprising that these teams decided to pass on this tradition. Considering what just happened to Lebron James home this isn’t surprising. Trump and his administration directly and indirectly promote segregation and prejudice.
I’m sure there are far more individuals who support this decision than not. Trump’s approval rating is continuously declining and some may argue that this administration is slowly destroying our country. Congratulation Golden State on the W and congratulation on the unanimous decline. Which seems make a more powerful statement than just a few players declining.
