The NBA world knows Steve Kerr isn’t just about basketball - he’s a political powerhouse with zero chill when it comes to calling out injustice.
In the latest episode of “Politicians Behaving Badly,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr is stepping up to critique Donald Trump’s militarized response to immigration protests, and he’s not holding back.
A Coach’s Political Playbook
Kerr, known for using his platform to speak truth to power, slammed Trump’s tactics as a classic divide-and-conquer strategy. “Create a crisis to look like you’re solving it,” he told reporters, highlighting the administration’s apparent attempts to manufacture political drama.
Troops Where They Don’t Belong
The situation escalated when Trump deployed National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles, despite Governor Gavin Newsom’s objections. Kerr called this move “a fake show of force” designed to create political confusion. U.S. troops performing domestic law enforcement? Not cool, according to both Kerr and constitutional norms.
Standing Up, Speaking Out
“Part of being an American is standing up for what’s right,” Kerr declared, making it clear he’s not afraid to use his voice. Whether it’s gun violence or immigration policy, this coach proves that leadership extends far beyond the basketball court.
While some might tell athletes to “shut up and dribble,” Kerr is here to remind everyone that civic engagement isn’t just a right - it’s a responsibility.
