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.

Wonderful idea! Invite the people to the people’s house. Overpaid athlete’s and Hollyweird’s are all out of touch with the people paying their salaries.

Better yet, Trump should start inviting search and rescue, recovery, and other disaster response teams to the White House after they complete their jobs on site. Screw professional sports teams.

I think an invitation to a lot of the people who did the rescue work during Harvey and Irma would be great. And I would include the people who restore power and water.

Time to simply end invitations to sport teams.

I would only make invitations to teams in conjunction with invitations to children who have been fighting illnesses. It could be a wonderful day for the children and for the players, and would take politics out of it.

“we accept that President Trump has made it clear that we are not invited,” the team said. “

I’m amazed that they can even read.

Wise individuals would take advantage of an offer to meet the POTUS to inform or educate the POTUS on their grievances of life. Instead, they disrespect the office and the people who made their opportunities possible. Opportunity requires a follow up of work.

The White House is offensive.
Cotton is offensive.
Banana peels are offensive.

Look, they were trying to turn this into a publicity debacle to embarrass the President, and that is unfortunate. Shut it down.

Black athletes bigotry, hatred and racism will be recorded in history for future generation. We’re at the end game of Affirmative Action law just as designed decades ago. Placing a group of people based on their skin color above others of a different skin color.

Science Fiction
Comic Books

Not kidding with either of these - all aspects of culture are under assault by the SJWs. Decades-old characters in the Marvel and DC comic books are coming out as gay, or "transitioning" as part of a gender change. Science fiction book awards are now given to stories which have no aspect of science to them - the only needed criterion is a focus on the latest culture war fad of liberals, in this case "trans-gender" issues.

I returned to college to get a bachelor degree after my military service and a couple of years decompressing in San Diego. I was a communications major and had an internship with the local PBS station and it was doing a TV drama production. One segment was shot in the local Baltimore prison and the State correctional officers emptied a cell block so we could shoot. I was talking to one of the guards on a smoke break and I asked him how they kept peace in this lockup. He told me, without breaking, “Give these n*iggers a basketball and they’ll be happy for hours.” Never thought much more about the sport than that since then.

Had to google, Steven Curry. Had no idea who he is—thought he might have been related to John Kerry of Mass., with a slightly different spelling.

The real beauty is that these punks and kaperdick thugs don't realize how Trump is beginning to use them. Everyday voting Americans see this scum for what they are, highly paid trained animal performers. The vast majority of non thug America is with the president on this. The race baiter political class will continue to dig themselves into a deeper hole on this as well.
