Invitation Withdrawn!
Steph Curry won't go to The White House despite the invite of the Golden State Warriors for their championship win. He said it was to show unity. (i.e., unity with the other hate-America liberals).
So President Trump withdrew the invitation for the entire team.
Yet another move by President Trump that is not politically correct, but Americans applaud wholeheartedly.

Funny thing is there was never an invitation to begin with.
The big baby was trying to save face to his disciples. Curry and Durant already talked about not going. Trump's fragile ego was hurt so he tried to play it off like he wasn't going to allow the team anyway.
Those pesky facts.

Those are facts? I guess the rest of the world has to redefine what we interpret as facts since your IQ is so high. Ok, people, we have been wrong.
What happened to your other two laughing emojis. I'll bet you tried so hard to post without any, but you have so little faith that anyone would pay attention to your words, you closed your eyes and hit the laughing emoji button. If you close your eyes, it doesn't count.

I would consider this significant if I thought any of these athletes had a firm grasp of reality instead of the nonsense they are hearing and reading in the media.
Who cares if another bunch of misinformed idiots doesn't want to go to Washington?

What I'd hope is for a backlash among their fans. They do understand what hits their wallets. Which interestingly isn't what they're opening in their stand. Why don't they do something meaningful like give to charities or start their own charity that supports what they believe is a need. Taking a knee is easy and cheap.

Yeah....I know it might seem crazy to you, but everything Trump tweets out isn't a fact.
The rest is just more of your bruised ego nonsense.

Kevin Durant who has already said he wouldn't go IF invited is incredibly generous and has his own charitable foundation. CJ could probably speak more on that.
Steph Curry is very active as well.

Since the Warriors play in the San Francisco Bay Area, many,if not most ,of their fans would be upset if they did go to the White House to meet Trump.The 49er's best selling jersey is Colin Kapernick.

It is just another example of our president doing stupid things. Americans do not really care that much one way or another whether athletes go to the White House. It is funny to see that he withdrew an invitation that was never extended in the first place and people like you throwing high fives as though the president really showed them who is boss.

So they were talking with the White House about a visit to the White House that didn't exist? They were going to vote on whether to accept an invitation that didn't exist? All you had to do was read what was posted to know what you posted isn't right.
People don't care if athletes go to the White House, but they do care when they play politics. If your job is to entertain, then it's not smart to piss off 50% of the audience.

Which is exactly what JFK told Jerry Lewis (included entertainers), per Jerry Lewis in his documentary, Method To The Madness of Jerry Lewis.
Another reason for today's liberals to loathe the self-defined liberal -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Back in the day, liberals were also Americans. Most of those liberals actually hated Communism.
