Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr gave a powerful speech after the deadly tragedy that occurred in Texas. He called on American elected officials to intervene to stop the scourge of shootings in the United States, last Tuesday that killed 21 people, including 18 children, at an elementary school.
Steve Kerr faced the media before Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals with a mixture of anger, frustration and sadness.
The Warriors are currently in Texas to face the Mavericks in Dallas. The coach has no mind for the sport, any basketball question doesn’t matterUvalde’s drama that covers all his thoughts.
” In the past 10 days, black seniors have been murdered in a supermarket in Buffalo, believers have been shot in South Carolina, and now children are being murdered at school. When are we going to do something? “
I am so tired of going here, of always sympathizing with the bereaved families … I am so tired of the excuses, of the silence of some people. That’s enoughhe exclaimed with tears in his eyes.
Steve Kerr notably chose Republican senators, especially Mitch McConnell, for their refusal to legislate the sale of guns.
” Did you realize that 90% of Americans, regardless of their political orientation, prefer background checks or psychological background checks on small arms buyers? We are being held hostage by 50 senators in Washington who refuse to vote on this measure, despite what we American citizens want. “
I’m tired, I’ve had enough. We’re going to play tonight, Steve Kerr said. But I want every person here, every person listening to it to think of their own son or grandson, mother or father, brother or sister. How would you feel if this happened to you today?
The Uvalde shooting was the deadliest at an elementary school in the United States since 2012, when a gunman killed 20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut.
