Once again, I find myself in complete agreement with President Trump. The Golden State Warriors were invited to the White House to celebrate their 2017 NBA Championship. The owner, coach and MVP of the team hesitated and delayed accepting the invitation. So… Trump rescinded it, very publicly on Twitter. I don’t blame him one teeny tiny bit. It’s an honor to be invited to the White House. If you are such an idiot that you can’t see it, then you don’t deserve to go. It’s been a custom to have the winner visit the White House since 1865. But because of the disrespect shown, that won’t happen this year. Too bad for the Golden State Warriors. Sucks to be them.
Kevin Durant had already stated he would not go if the team was invited. Now, he won’t be alone. Two-time MVP (and Obama golfing buddy) Stephen Curry also said he would not attend and Trump called him out by name. What jerks. It’s amazing how all these teams and players are more than willing to alienate the President of the United States and fans across the country, so they can make a political point that is nonsense to begin with. These protests are a sure road to bankruptcy for these teams and don’t have one iota of sympathy for the lot of them. Good freaking riddance.

LOL I am cracking up over here. These guys said long ago they were not trying to go. You can "disinvite" someone or "Level" them when they already told you they were not going.
Something tells me if I were to search the archives, it would show you hypocrites weren't at all outraged over anyone turning down an Obama WH visit.
Question: were yall upset over Trump's disrespect of the military when he said McCain wasn't a war hero because he was captured? Just wondering how selective your outrage really is.
As basketball was invented in 1891, it's unlikely that the custom of inviting the winners to the White House started in 1865.
10:08 Try doing research before you open your mouth
It dates back to at least Aug. 30, 1865, when President Andrew Johnson welcomed the Brooklyn Atlantics and Washington Nationals amateur baseball clubs. Ulysses S. Grant played host to the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, in 1869.

If POTUS invites me over, I'll go!
I wasn't upset when he said McCain wasn't a hero.
McCain was a PRISONER. That's his claim to fame.
It was a tough time and I wouldn't want to endure what he did, but as far as I'm concerned (I'm a veteran, too), being a captured soldier doesn't make you a hero.
I'll put that on the same level as calling McCain a republican.
Keep cheering.
Not upset at all because McCain is no hero and neither was Kerry. I will say that Curry said he wouldn't attend before Trump said he withdrew his invite. Trump needs to focus on being President and stop with all the nonsense.
