It was a t-shirt that spoke volumes.
When the Golden State Warriors defeated the Grizzlies in the post-game conference, a new reporter noticed Coach Steve Kerr making a political statement with his choice of wardrobe: a Harvard basketball T-shirt.
“Felt like a great day to wear it,” Kerr said. “I believe in academic freedom. I think it’s crucial for all of our institutions to handle our own business the way they want to and they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say by our government. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But it’s kind of par for the course right now, so yes this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go, way to stand up to the bully.”
