Sports fans were in for
a weekend of politics after
President Donald Trump
tweeted that he was rescinding an invitation for NBA champi-
ons Golden State Warriors to visit the White House. The tweet
came after team star Steph Curry announced he would not
be visiting. A subsequent discussion revolved around players’
right to kneel during the national anthem. While Trump—
during a stump speech in Alabama--called on owners to fi re
those who refused to stand, more than 200 players kneeled
on Sunday in protest. Several NFL teams released statements
calling the President’s comments divisive.
From around the nation
North Korea announced that the United States had declared
war after President Donald Trump tweeted “Just heard Foreign
Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts
of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!”
The country’s foreign minister announced on Monday that
Trump had effectively declared war, giving North Korea the
right to shoot down U.S. bombers before they reached North
Korean air space. The White House called claims of war “ab-
surd.”
