In recent weeks, Steve Kerr asked some of his players two questions about the national-anthem protests gaining traction throughout sports: What do you think? What does it mean to you?
The Warriors’ head coach views these conversations as an example of why non-violent social activism is important. Before Golden State’s first preseason game Oct. 1, he will discuss with the rest of his team why athletes have followed 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in refusing to stand for the anthem.
“One of the best things that’s come out of this is talking about it,” Kerr said Wednesday afternoon at the Warriors’ practice facility.
