President Trump on Saturday rescinded Golden State Warrior star Stephen Curry’s invitation to the White House, after Curry suggested he doesn’t want to go to the Washington event that will honor his team’s 2016-2017 NBA championship.


“Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!” Trump tweeted Saturday morning.


On Friday, Curry told ESPN that he doesn’t want to go the White House event but that the team will decide collectively.

He also seemed to suggest that not going would be part of the resist-Trump movement, saying the move would give the Warriors “an opportunity to send a statement that hopefully encourages unity, encourages us to appreciate what it means to be American, and stand for something.”

Whether Trump has rescinded just Curry or the entire team’s invitation is unclear.


Film at 11... 🤔


Is he trying to turn Curry's team against him..?? 🤔

Trumps a moron and always has been. People just want to beleive he's something different. He's the same guy I used to love listening to on the Howard Stern show because he was as a complete idiot like a.j. Benza but entertaining. It wasn't a character. It was really him. And still is.

Except the people supporting the 2nd grader wouldn't accept it let alone encourage it.

Curry is a douche too.

If that's where you set the bar I guess so.

By the way, I really don't think this is a big deal one way or another.

Technically, the GSWs were never invited to the White House to begin with.

for the GSWs to decline the invitation (if one is issued) is the equivalent of Kapernik kneeling during the anthem ... they've now lost any respect I might have ever had for them ...

I don't like Trump much and didn't vote for him, but were I a part of a team that was invited to the White House, I would accept the invite with pleasure ... I'm sure not all of the teams invited by Nixon, Clinton, GWB and Obama were supporters of those particular presidents, but they went and accepted the honor ...

individual players skipped out in the past.

recent memory of a big deal made about the Bruins goalie passing on and criticizing Obama, and Brady skipped out on his pal Trump a few months ago.

Probably have always been dissenters, but now both sides of the aisle are soooo sensitive.

sometimes it's been scheduling conflicts, I'd bet.

It's not a big deal either way.
