Warriors to spend D.C. day with kids instead of at White House
The Golden State Warriors have decided how to spend their day in D.C. later this month in place of what was supposed to be their trip to the White House to be honored as the defending NBA champions.
ESPN’s Chris Haynes and Ramona Shelburne report that the Warriors will spend Feb. 27 taking a private tour of a local place and they will be accompanied by children.
The Warriors are scheduled to play the Knicks in New York on Feb. 26 and the Washington Wizards on Feb. 28. They likely were to spend the off-day in between at the White House to be honored, but the president rescinded the invitation after talk emerged that most of the players did not want to make the visit. Several Warriors players have made it clear that they do not support President Trump, his beliefs nor his political agenda.
The Warriors had the opportunity to meet with other politicians but said they did not want to make the day about politics, which is why they opted for a different plan.
