Warriors coach: 'Far-fetched' to expect civil discourse with Trump

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is criticizing President Trump for his attacks on NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.

"No matter how many times a football player says, 'I honor our military, but I'm protesting police brutality and racial inequality,' it doesn't matter,” Kerr said in an interview on Saturday with ESPN.   “Nationalists are saying, 'You're disrespecting our flag.' Well, you know what else is disrespectful to our flag? Racism. And one's way worse than the other."

Kerr, whose team announced Saturday it would not visit the White House following its recent NBA championship, said it was “far-fetched” to expect civil discourse with Trump.

"The idea of civil discourse with a guy who is tweeting and demeaning people and saying the things he's saying is sort of far-fetched," Kerr told ESPN. "Can you picture us really having a civil discourse with him?"

The Warriors said in a statement later in the day that they would not visit the White House and instead use the trip to Washington, D.C. to “celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion,” values they “embrace as an organization.”

It is farfetched to expect civil discourse from spoiled brat athletes and their unhinged liberal bosses.
