The Trump campaign has called out Golden Star Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s need to “speak up” during the 2024 election, despite his previous silence on China.
The Trump campaign took aim at Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr over his previous refusal to comment on the NBA’s controversial relationship with China after Kerr said during his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night that he felt the election was “too important… not to speak up.”
Days after coaching Team USA to another medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Kerr took center stage at the DNC to voice his support for Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz in the upcoming presidential election.
“I know very well that speaking out about politics these days comes with risks. I can see the ‘shut up and whistle’ tweets being fired off as we speak. But I also knew as soon as I was asked that it was too important as an American citizen not to speak up in an election of this magnitude”, Kerr said at the United Center in Chicago.
“The reason I said yes to speaking here tonight is that as a coach and a former player, as a husband, a son, a father, even a grandfather, and as an American – I believe in a certain kind of leadership.
