It’s not likely that the Golden State Warriors will visit the White House. It is being reported that the team has unanimously voted to boycott any invitation from the Trump White House. It’s important to note that the invitation hasn’t been made yet. But, every major championship team is invited to the White House and Trump has kept that tradition alive, thus far.

Either way, it’s going to be fun to watch. A few members of the Patriots was funny. This is embarrassing.

The Pittsburgh Penguins recently won their second Stanley Cup Championship Sunday, and there has been no word on whether the team plans to make a trip to the White House.”
Also, just sayin’…
NBA Champion Golden State Warriors
TheFader.com: “Various members of the Warriors have been critical of the President in recent months. Coach Steve Kerr called Trump a “blowhard” and “ill-suited” for the office he holds.
Meanwhile, Warriors MVP Steph Curry responded to UnderArmour CEO Kevin Plank’s assertion that Trump is a “real asset” to America by joking, “I agree with that description, if you remove the ‘et’.”
