Knicks accept White House invite as TV hosts warn of player pressure
What's new: Owner James Dolan said the team accepted the invitation and still needs to work out visit details.
The New York Knicks have accepted an invitation to visit the White House, according to owner James Dolan, setting up a potential appearance that some TV commentators argued could put players in an awkward spot. Dolan told WFAN New York's "The Carton Show" on Wednesday that the team had received the invitation and accepted it, though the details still had to be arranged. On ABC's "The View," co-hosts debated whether the visit would pressure players who may not want to attend because of President Donald Trump. Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin raised concerns about players being put in a difficult position, while Whoopi Goldberg argued the team should go.
