Trump On NFL Anthem Kneelers: Get That Son Of A B**** Off The Field - 09/22/2017

President Donald Trump declared at his Alabama rally on Friday night that he would love to see an NFL owner fire anyone who disrespects the U.S. flag and national anthem.
Trump doubling down on being dissed, now with the NBA.
ESPN: Donald Trump says Warriors not welcome at White House
President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday morning that the Golden State Warriors are not welcome to the White House to celebrate their 2017 NBA championship.
Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!
There had no previous indication of a White House invitation for the Warriors. ESPN reported late Thursday night that the NBA had been in communication with the White House on the matter and believed an invitation would be extended, if the team decided as a group to attend.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr told ESPN that the team was planning to meet to discuss a potential White House visit. Kerr and several Warriors players have been openly critical of Trump and his administration on multiple occasions.
On Friday, Stephen Curry said he would vote no if the team were invited to the White House. Kevin Durant previously told ESPN's Chris Haynes that he would not go to the White House either. Sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that the Warriors were planning to meet as a team on the issue Saturday morning.
The mechanism of inviting championship teams to the White House has varied with each administration, but it is generally offered by the President during a congratulatory call to a coach or owner soon after the NBA Finals. From there the league office acts as a liaison with the White House to help schedule the visit.
The Warriors open training camp Saturday.
I don't blame Trump at all. This would just turn into another hate-Trump moment as, player by player, they publicly rejected the invitation and heaped more scorn on him.
The invitation was for the entire team. Trump did not just invite Curry and then withdraw his invitation to Curry. He invited the whole team and Curry "hesitated" (refused it on Friday in public). And now the invitation is withdrawn.
That is, if words retain anything resembling their traditional meanings.
