Warriors hope to bring their 'values' to DC after White House snub

• Donald Trump said NBA champions not welcome after criticism
• Golden State may do charity work on visit to Washington instead
• Warriors coach Steve Kerr says Colin Kaepernick has been blackballed

The Golden State Warriors coach, Steve Kerr, says his team still hope to achieve something positive when they visit Washington DC to play the Wizards next year.

The NBA champions traditionally visit the president at the White House but Donald Trump made it clear the Warriors would not be welcome this season after several players indicated they would not go. In September he tweeted: “Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team, Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!”
