WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, (Washington Bureau) – It has become tradition that whenever a sports national league champion team visits the nation’s capital, it gets invited to meet with the President of the United States.
But in 2017, Donald Trump rescinded the invitation for NBA Champion Warriors to visit The White House in the midst of the President’s comments about black NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem. Since then, the three-time champions were off limits on Pennsylvania Avenue.
This year, however, the Warriors visited with the President of the United States during their trip to D.C.
The 44th President, that is.
