ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Calling it a "terrible" and "demoralizing day for our country," Team USA coach Steve Kerr tried to summarize the emotions of his team Sunday in the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
"This is a time where we feel very proud to represent our country wearing USA on our chest, competing in the Olympics," Kerr said. "We've talked to the players about how important it is to show the best version of us as human beings to represent our country in a respectful, dignified manner. It makes you want to do that even more so, because this is really shameful for us to sit here and think about what happened and what's going on in our country.
