Rescinds Golden State Warriors White House invitation after Stephen Curry voices reluctance to atten

After Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry said he would vote against a White House visit and cited concerns about Trump, Trump tweeted that Curry's hesitation meant the team's invitation was 'withdrawn.' The Warriors had not received a formal invitation at the time. The move came the morning after Trump told an Alabama rally that NFL players who kneel during the anthem should be fired, and it broadened his confrontation with athletes protesting racial injustice. Commentators framed the withdrawal as a public loyalty test tied to whether athletes praised or criticized the president.
