None of the Warriors plan to visit the White House now, the team responded in an afternoon statement.

“While we intended to meet as a team at the first opportunity we had this morning to collaboratively discuss a potential visit to the White House, we accept that President Trump has made it clear that we are not invited,” the team said.

So, I guess it's settled except for the full-blown national debate that is picking up steam regarding professional sports teams and their respect (or disdain) for their country.

You didn't fire me. I quit.

Well, that's not what your Human Resources file will show. As for references, good luck with that.

LOL

Trump preempted their idiotic decision.

And that's what their file will show.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

It was very kind of the White House to invite winning teams, but there are many other pressing matters.

The Warriors are a disgusting joke, and will regret this insane gesture.

They won’t be making a penny off of this Freeper’s family!

Who cares about these poofter crybabies?

Let them go join the NFL as it declines with CP.

I couldn’t care less if they both disappeared.

Yawn.

They are ignorant, overgrown spoiled children.

It’s too bad there isn’t a pro basketball league in the US with good people one can root for.

Let those athletes work for real jobs like everyone else. We have too many overpaid leftist sports exhibitionists.

LOL are they serious??? What kind of con are they trying to pull they always said they had ZERO intention to go to the White House..they said that immediately after winning the NBA Finals that they would have to “Discuss it as a team” so PLEASE spare me Golden State with your pretending like you were actually eager about going to the White House

Yeah, I saw sports becoming stupid long time ago... Cannot figure why people still passionate like this thing is real. Sports figures are about as genuine as “multicultural” Barbara Stressand at a Chinese dog dinner

It’s been a regretable scene with getting black teams to a Republican White House for years.

Time to have winning teams request a visit. Forget indulging these anti-Americans with invitations.

Republicans are never going to be Marxist enough or affirmative action enough, or free ride enough to please these takers.

BWA HA HA..... there is nothing for you to “reject” you morons, you were DISINVITED!!!

This is what comes of giving over too much of our public life to idiots who are barely qualified to graduate Middle School, if that. Shut up and play/sing/act, morons!! We don’t want or need you to tell us what you think about public issues. Stay in your lane, stick to your knitting.
