Steve Kerr rightfully getting raked for his latest display of ignorance and cowardice

That shoe deal and the Chinese TV deal means more to him than any actual beliefs he may hold. Either that or he's just a complete retard. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt though and assume he just has no moral compass.

Steve Kerr doing campaign spots for Trump 2020 now. That's not even a good issue to return serve on. Our historical piss-poor treatment of Native Americans; our failure to own up to and apologize to African-Americans for slavery and a century plus of legal and de facto discrimination or even offer the most rudimentary of reparations would've made his point better. While highlighting significant issues that should be getting more play in the 2020 Presidential campaign.

Crazy mofos with weapons killing random strangers in public spaces is not limited to any country or political system. In China they use knives or hammers and somehow achieve body counts larger than our gun-toting crazies. Bloody over-achieving Asians.

This hurts. I am a huge Steve Kerr fan, but OMG I cannot believe what he just said. He just made things 10 times worse. Why is it so hard to say China interment camps are bad and what does 2nd ammendment rights have to do with China?

This is all just so weird.

He should’ve done more of that reading and research he said he was going to do before commenting .

It's looking quite clear that yesterday's press conference where the question was shot down was by NBA orders and not some rogue employee as the league office said.

Kerr is entitled to his beliefs. So is Popcorn Head Popovich. The fact that anyone thinks that these two guys are anymore qualified to weigh in on gun control, Chinese harvesting brains and organs from their criminals and opponents, or the homeless problems in San Francisco is what is hilarious as well as pathetic.

One of the replies to that tweet contained a link to this article. It is mainly about Kerr but also mentions Curry: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2017/2/17/ ... on-t-speak

Quote:
And he’s not going to ‘‘stick to sports’’ just because he’s a basketball coach.

‘‘If you go by that mantra, then everybody should stick to whatever they’re doing; that means nobody’s allowed to have a political opinion,’’ said Kerr, who will coach the Western Conference in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. ‘‘It just so happens that we get these microphones stuck in our faces, so we have a bigger platform.

‘‘But it’s free speech. And if you look at the history of the world, the biggest problems come when people don’t speak. So I think it’s important to express your views.’’


Quote:
‘‘The NBA, I think, is at the forefront of social activism as far as the major sports are concerned,’’ Kerr said. ‘‘I’m very proud of the work that Adam Silver’s doing and the league’s doing. They back up what they believe in, and I think that’s important.’’


Quote:
As Warriors star Stephen Curry showed recently, you don’t have to be an activist to take a stand. When Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank appeared to embrace Trump’s agenda, Curry was among the Under Armour athletes who protested. Plank later clarified his remarks as relating to Trump’s business policies only, using a full-page ad in the Baltimore Sun to say he is opposed to Trump’s immigration ban.

That Curry said he was more interested in promoting change than in selling shoes struck a chord with Kerr, a former teammate of Michael Jordan, who in Sam Smith’s book ‘‘Second Coming’’ avoided supporting a black U.S. Senate candidate against Jesse Helms in North Carolina because ‘‘Republicans buy shoes, too.’’

‘‘For a long time, a lot of athletes have kind of stayed out of the political forum out of fear of losing customers,’’ Kerr said. ‘‘I think it’s refreshing that we have athletes who are putting their social agenda, social beliefs, ahead of any marketing issues. I think that’s powerful.’’


Based on what has happened over the last few days, much of that now rings hollow.

Which was very quickly walked back by the author in the comments section.

Maybe WFR is right and white men are soon to be put into concentration camps.

Canadians got Fidel Castro's gay son. And BigProgism has ruined their way of life.
Japan has been finished for awhile now. No kids. Dying country.
South Korea OK. Be Best women. But Chonks and Norks wanna kill em. Kimchee stinks...
