The NBA was in the national spotlight this weekend as Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors said he would not visit the White House, which was followed by President Donald Trump announcing the Warriors were no longer invited.

As a result, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and many NBA owners released statements in support of the players. Player protests were also in the forefront of the NFL this weekend.
