Instead of declining another visit to the WH, they meet with President Obama instead. They don't want to be associated with the sinking ship. Smart move!

The Golden State Warriors knew they would not be visiting the White House to celebrate their 2018 NBA title on their annual trip to Washington this week. They hadn’t done so last year in recognition of their 2017 championship, with Stephen Curry saying he wouldn’t have met with President Trump even if invited and Trump then withdrawing any invitation that may or may not have existed.
Instead, the Warriors this week met with the White House’s previous resident, on Thursday paying a visit to former president Barack Obama at his Washington office ahead of their game that night against the Wizards.

As the country slowly tears itself into two camps of crazy people.
IIRC, the question posed was irrespective of celebrating a championship but, a few months ago, LeBron was interviewed at his school in Ohio and asked if he would meet with Trump (if asked). LeBron smiled and said No...but that he'd meet with Barack.
and why wouldn't they meet with Trump? I thought they were competitive athletes so why would they shy away from a challenge. If they think Trump is racist or doesn't care about black people then why not go and give him a positive example that black people can be just as smart and upstanding as anyone else?
I think this team took the easy way out for political reasons which is ridiculous.
If you don't want to go to the WH that is fine but don't make it political.
A bunch of black guys wanted to meet Obama instead. Color me surprised lmao....Racism comes in all colors.
Indeed, truer than you will likely admit to.
Obama had fewer detractors here more vocal than I. I consider him a failed presidency but I most certainly understand those who see Obama as a wall that came down. I do support that aspect of his presidency.
Obama should not have agreed to meet the players because it would be inappropriate. I guess trying to stop Trump isn’t enough anymore, now he’s going to start doing things like he still president. I wonder when he will announce that he’s doing the State of the Union address.
