The most important moment from sports this week came from a basketball coach. It came from Steve Kerr of the Warriors, son of Malcolm Kerr, the president of the American University of Beirut in 1984 when he was shot dead by the militant group Islamic Jihad. Malcolm Kerr’s son was speaking to a different kind of terrorism this time, the American terrorism of gun violence, before the Warriors played the Mavs in the playoffs the other night. Steve Kerr was responding, eloquently and passionately, to the slaughter of more innocent school children in America, and sounding what America is supposed to sound like, even in the land of the free and the home of the gun. If you haven’t seen the video yet, this is what Kerr said, word for word, the kid who was 19 years old when his father died across the world: “I’m not going to talk about basketball.
