  • In June 2017, in the wake of allegations that California basketball team the Golden State Warriors refused to visit the White House after winning the NBA championship, a story appeared to show an angry response from White House advisor Kellyanne Conway. According to USPOLN.com, Conway told WYSP radio that the Warriors' decision not to meet with President Donald Trump was a disrespectful act, and one that carries legal implications: The interview is completely fictional. The radio station does not exist, and Conway has not commented on the matter. USPOLN.com contains this disclaimer: For their part, the Warriors said in a statement that they had not been invited to partake in the traditional (and not required) White House ceremony. Head coach Steve Kerr — who has called Trump a blowhard — reiterated that statement in a 21 June 2017 interview with an actual podcast host, journalist Tim Kawakami: While Kerr has not ruled out turning down a potential invitation, star guard Stephen Curry has said that he would do so. A petition circulating online urging them to do the same has amassed more than 51,000 signatures. (en)
