He's an imbecile for responding to an NBA player in such a childlike manner.He is supposed to be better than such petty rants on the net.Remember the US prez is suppose to be held to a higher standard?

They need to get the metric from somewhere, right?

Not sure what you mean. You're asking for a metric but then don't seem to accept any way they're looking at it. Are you denying that Trump has had a huge impact on illegal immigration?
 
ripskater said:
Exactly. Curry said he won't go cause he doesn't like what Trump stands for. He said it publicly. Trump can react to that. It's politics and that's how it works.

Curry nor Trump did anything wrong. They just don't want to meet with each other.

Exactly. And they both are trying to score political points. I for one disdain the politicization of absolutely everything. But it's Curry's right to make a political statement if he'd like. He used the invitation to grandstand, so the invitation was withdrawn.

I'm not surprised that you would say that.

Curry: I'm not going.
Trump: Yeah well you can't come because now you're not invited.
Curry:... I already said I'm not going.

It's a silly response from a president. It's the whole "I quit" "You can't quit because you're fired" scene from Waiting.

A natural disaster isn't a choice, also good catch. I'm a little off lol, OU is about to lose to Baylor and I'm dead inside.

lol I didn't mean to be shitty, but vivid imagery relies on accuracy :D

You're right it isn't a choice, it's a consequence ( well in the sense that they harm us anyways)

I didn't like Lebron much but i really respect him now having Curry's back. Even thought they get into it on the court they all stick together off it.

Something tells me Trump supporters don't really watch the NBA anyway. Too much "color".

NBA players still suffer from discrimination. If you have your head in the sand just google "LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling".





Yet you 2 claim Obama is the 'most divisive President ever'.

You've just glorified a President actively seeking to divide the country. Something Obama never did to that level or tried to do on purpose at any time.

You both look like hypocrites now. I'll have your quotes saved for the next time you bring up that bullshit argument against Obama in the future.

That's just how politics are. It's cut throat. You can either play the game or you can't. Trump has an unorthodox style we've never seen, and the left is still in shock and angry from the election.

When Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas refused to meet with Obama back in 2012 the liberal media lost its collective mind saying it was not the time to make a political statement and he should not put himself above the team. Interesting how the hypocritical left changes their tune changed when it is a Republican president in charge.

From ESPN:

Tim Thomas put himself above team

...when the president of the United States invites you and all your teammates to the White House to honour your Stanley Cup championship, you go and represent the team...Thomas instead chose to represent himself.


From the comment section:

Ken Stone
So Colin Kaepernick is a hero for following his conscience, but Tim Thomas is a bum for following his? Hey, ESPN, wanna share your moral metrics with the nation so the rest of us know how to judge people, too? Or - just spitballing here - maybe you want to knock off the condescension and just stick to sports.

Although it's a similar situation on the surface, it's difficult to compare the TT abstention to Steph's. Steph's is based on Trump as an individual, and his individual desire to not validate Trump. With TT it was a lot more general, and in his statement anyway, not partisan:

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

“This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct oppostition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

“Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.


“This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT”

Also, keeping it short and to the point and not dragging it on and talking about it for months and using it as an earworm for the entire fanbase and beyond in order to promote himself through his abstention, that also differentiates it largely.

I'm also not even trying to be shitty about your religion, I'm just confused about what your God does and what he doesn't. Nobody really has a clear answer for it.

Like I said, I'm a little off.. this OU Baylor game has my heart about to explode.

It was a poster here that used the term "political enemies" regarding this situation, not Trump as far as I know.

In this situation with the Warriors the term is of course not accurate, as Steph, the coach, and the handful of players who'd expressed doubts about attending the WH invite are not political actors but entertainers. However, when they express political opinions to millions of people who's adoration they've earned, they are acting in a manner that affects, either by reinforcing or challenging, their fans' political opinions on the current administration.

Therefore, it's my opinion that if Trump used the term now, or if Obama had used the term during the Tim Thomas situation, Jacob Volkmann situation, or certainly the Tom Lehman situation, I'd have a hard time disqualifying the validity of the term "political enemy". Mostly I'd want to see enemy replaced with opponent, but I'm just rolling with the term a poster here used to characterize Trump's response.

You're right that he didn't use the actual term, I just kind of merged Rip's take and Trump's actions, which sort of run parallel. I mean, even if Steph is trashing Trump on Twitter (man, do I hate Twitter), wouldn't it be a better look to say "it's his right, hopefully he will come around as we MAGA, etc."? I understand his absolute refusal to take the high road is what some people love about him, but I'm not one of them. Trump acting like he does gives Curry attention and legitimacy he would never have otherwise.

serious question. do you guys think there is ANYTHING Obama could have done in office that would have made Steph, Lebron or any of those guys decline a White House visit?

Its all good dude. There is a LOT of information and a lot of people that have agendas. I'll send you a pm explaining basic Christian doctrine. People argue over fringe aspects like baptism etc. That don't matter much, but the sin problem is pretty universal in approach.

You realize this happens all the time. Some athlete refused to visit when W was president.

This is the first time a president canceled the whole thing because of it lol

Were there any before that the coach wasn't onboard with the visit as well?

You cant disinvite someone someone after they turn down your invitation. You cant quit your job after being fired. You cant break up with someone after they dump you. Do you see a pattern here. His response was dumb and should have left it at that

I'll give it a read tomorrow so I can give it my full attention. I'm stress eating green curry, sexting hos, and doing lines over this fucking football game. If we win (and hell yeah just scored a touchdown) I'm going to go out and party lol.
