WASHINGTON, D.C. — If not for the Warriors’ outspokenness and Donald Trump’s impulses on Twitter, the White House would simply represent the president’s official residence and workplace.
Instead, the White House symbolized something else. The Warriors voiced doubts about visiting there to celebrate their 2017 NBA championship because of Trump’s divisive rhetoric. Warriors guard Stephen Curry stands at the center of that controversy after publicly saying he would refuse to visit the White House. On the morning of the first day of training camp, Trump singled out Curry in a tweet before withdrawing an invitation the Warriors never would have accepted.
