In a time of unrest in the United States, Team USA basketball head coach Steve Kerr is calling for unity in the wake of the attempted assassination of former president and presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Kerr, calling it a "terrible" and "demoralizing day" for the U.S., said he is still proud to represent the country in competition.
"This is a time where we feel very proud to represent our country wearing USA on our chest, competing in the Olympics," Kerr said on Sunday. "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.
