The last thing I want to talk about right now is the Presidency. Trust me on that. I've generally been the type to walk away at the mere mention of politics, so being the one to intentionally bring up the conversation is uncharacteristic of me - especially when that conversation is as depressing as it's ever been. As a heterosexual white male that happens to enjoy the company of those that don't look or fuck exactly like me I found myself nodding along with just about everything Steve Kerr had to say, but that's neither here nor there. Instead I'd rather discuss how he did so in a forum that's usually frowns upon it without it coming off at all forced or inappropriate. Think about that for a second. The head coach of the most polarizing, newsworthy team in the NBA just spent likely the longest amount of time he's ever spent answering a single question at a press conference, and it was to openly criticize the brand spanking new President-elect. Not only that, but it somehow managed to come off as completely justified. A basketball coach took a hard left out of the sports world to bash the representative of the right relatively extensively and I didn't even feel the urge to cringe once. I suppose the election of a non-politician to the highest position in all of fucking politics set the precedent for public figures switching lanes at the drop of the hat. Still, the only weird thing about Steve Kerr using his outlet in sports to stray into a realm that's always been considered taboo is that it didn't even seem remotely weird. Although, I guess that makes total sense since the following is probably more of a likelihood than a possibility...
