I’m not ready to reconfigure my wardrobe, but I’m impressed that Steve Kerr, coach of the Golden State Warriors, opted to wear a Harvard Basketball shirt to the post-game press conference.

Very successful as a coach, Kerr has a lot going on, although this is the first connection to Harvard University that I’ve heard of.

The t-shirt was a way to open the post-game press talk to other issues, like research and academic freedom. Kerr explained:

“I believe in academic freedom. I think it’s crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to — and they should not be shaken down, 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. Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

You’d expect Harvard’s resistance to the Trump administration’s demands to echo, although not necessarily in professional sports.

More to come.
