The Golden State Warriors released a powerful organizational statement and many players from both the NBA and NFL have gone public with statements against president Donald Trump on Saturday.

That comes after Trump’s comments about Colin Kaepernick and football players who protest the national anthem on Friday night, along with his “disinviting” of Stephen Curry and the Warriors from the White House and, in short, the sentiment isn’t close to stopping from an NBA perspective.

The most powerful athlete in the league, LeBron James, already weighed in with sharp comments on Twitter but, in addition, he has published a video to expand on those thoughts.

Obviously, James’ words have special impact when considering his platform and he was thoughtful in his comments both against Trump and in support of Curry, who he described as a colleague in the NBA workplace.

Beyond that, Jared Dudley backed up the notion that the NFL world could make a big-time statement on Sunday.

Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma jumped in with thoughts on Trump’s proposed border wall.

Veteran center Robin Lopez made a swift statement about Trump’s potential ability to be removed from power in the future.

Warriors veteran David West indicated that, well, Trump doesn’t “make sense.”

While we’re on the Warriors, Draymond Green weighed in with his thoughts on James’ earlier tweet.

And, finally, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who has never shied away from an opportunity to comment on the state of the nation, made his feelings known.

It has been an avalanche of commentary on a Saturday in September and, as of now, the end doesn’t appear to be approaching.
