Steve Kerr's father was Malcolm H. Kerr a professor at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon.
From Wikipedia: On 18 January 1984, Kerr was shot and killed by two gunmen. He was shot twice in the back of his head, by gunmen using suppressed handguns, in the hallway outside his office. His death was claimed by the Islamic Jihad Organization.[15] Years later, information regarding Kerr's assassins and their motives still remain uncertain.
News of his sudden death appeared in the media worldwide.[18] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_H._Kerr

(217 posts)Was President of the American University of Beirut. Malcolm Kerr.
While he was with University of Arizona he was playing against Arizona State University. They chanted "* P.L.O. - PLO - PLO" before the game. Also shouted was
""Your father's history"
and
""Why don't you join the Marines and go back to Beirut?""
Probably one of the most disgusting exhibitions by fans at a sporting event.
Kerr, a fifth-year senior, made all six of his shots from three-point range and finished with 22 points as he led his No. 3-ranked Wildcats to a 101-73 victory.

What the fuck.
Great words - and especially powerful that he decided to just walk off instead of answering questions about sports.

(1,195 posts)For all of us. It's so hard to form words in the face of this. That was incredibly, succinctly, driven down to the core message/issue. F mitch and the rest of them.

(508 posts)I admire the athletic excellence of the men and women who have reached the highest levels of their sport. I am a Chicago Bulls fan mainly because I live about three hours from Chicago. But...now I am a Warriors fan. Steve Kerr is an honest and educated man.
And the NBA as well as the WNBA have been much more, shall we say, socially active than other pro sports leagues. Go Dubs! NBA champions! At least let's hope so. And my bandwagon jumping is directly because of Kerr.
