Several championship sports teams and athletes have declined the traditional meeting with the president.
The NBA Champions Golden State Warriors declined to meet with Donald Trump in the traditional post-championship visit with the president, instead opting to visit former president Barack Obama, the San José Mercury News is reporting.
The Warriors were in Washington, D. C. on Thursday, headed through town to take on the Wizards when they made a brief detour. There, they met with former president Barack Obama and even posed for a picture on the team Instagram page, though the picture was later deleted. All of the members of the team were present, except for forward Jonas Jerebko, who had stayed home in the Bay Area for the birth of his second child. The team met with Obama “for about an hour,” said a source.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn’t have much to say about his team’s activities when asked about it by a reporter.
