Among those in the sports world who spoke out either to reporters or on social media about the pro-Trump rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green.
After a 108-101 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Green spoke candidly to reporters about his reaction to what happened in Washington D.C. earlier in the day.
“Storming into a building and busting out windows and carrying podiums and all that other stuff, that’s not a protest, that’s a terrorist attack,” he said. “Stop describing those people the same way you describe someone who just stand there and make a chant and say, ‘We want justice, we want peace.'”
“Stop using the same word,” he continued. “It’s disrespectful, it’s ridiculous and it’s shameful to keep calling them protesters. They’re not [expletive] protesters, they are [expletive] terrorists.”
