The Warriors won't be going to the White House to celebrate their recent championship.
But the Pittsburgh Penguins will be.
A day after President Trump revoked an invitation to the Warriors, he announced on Twitter that the 2017 Stanley Cup champs will be visiting the White House.
"Please to inform that the Champion Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL will be joining me at the White House for Ceremony. Great team!" Trump tweeted.
Trump's tweet comes several hours after the Penguins issued a statement regarding a trip to the White House:
"The Pittsburgh Penguins respect the institution of the Office of the President, and the long tradition of championship teams visiting the White House. We attended White House ceremonies after previous championships - touring the historic building and visiting briefly with Presidents George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama - and have accepted an invitation to attend again this year.
Any agreement or disagreement with a president's politics, policies or agenda can be expressed in other ways. However, we very much respect the rights of other individuals and groups to express themselves as they see fit."
