MILWAUKEE—Steve Kerr does it because it’s the right and important thing to do: to use a platform, a voice, a background unique to his craft to engender discussion, provoke, prod, educate.
The Golden State Warriors head coach is erudite and well-spoken and constantly able to reach people who might normally ignore the greater issues of the day.
He reaches them in a calm, common-sense manner, neither yelling nor preaching nor demanding attention.
He speaks to them, to the issues, because he is passionate about the country in which he lives, the dangerous and divisive times that are upon America.
