Steve Kerr’s a little bent. Who made the invitation political? The people not showing up for political reasons. He’s just saying you make it clear you don’t want to come, fine, don’t.

On Friday, President Trump minced no words about professional sports championship teams that decline to visit the White House, asserting, “If they don’t want to be here, I don’t want them.”
Aware that NBA star LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, echoed by Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant, had said neither NBA Finals team would accept a trip to the White House, and that Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry had declined the trip last year when the Warriors won the title, Trump said, “I didn’t invite LeBron James and I didn’t invite Steph Curry. We’re not going to invite either team.”
Trump expressed his hope that the NHL champion Washington Capitals would visit. He said, “I think we’ll have the Caps. I mean we’ll see.”
