Warriors coach Steve Kerr concerned over ramped up political rhetoric that has led to violence

Warriors coach Steve Kerr has not hesitated to speak his mind about his issues with President Donald Trump, and when 13 explosive devices were sent to politicians and critics of the president, he said he was concerned.

The Warriors did not go to visit the White House after winning the championship and Trump rescinding the invitation after the team said they would not attend. Kerr — who's father, Malcolm, while working as a professor at American University in Lebanon in 1984 was killed by gunmen outside of his office in Beirut — and Spurs coach Greg Popovich have been among the most outspoken NBA critics of the current political climate.
