The family of Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is calling out a particularly aggressive Cleveland Cavaliers fan, after he or she whacked Kerr's daughter in the head during last night's game in the unfortunately monikered "Quicken Loans Arena."
According to a tweet posted by Kerr wife Margot Kerr (whose account is protected, so we'll have to take KNBR's word for it) "Thank you @cavs fan who elbowed @MaddyMKerr in the head for a t-shirt. We know it was on purpose. #classy." (The "#classy" was intended facetiously, I suspect.)
CBS 5 reports that "during one of the traditional in-game t-shirt toss promotions a Cavaliers fan elbowed Ms. Kerr in the head in their attempt to go after the shirt."
Sure, accidents happen, especially in the scrum for schwag. But even worse, the elbowing Ohioan didn't acknowledge the gaffe. Per Maddy Kerr:
And for pretending it didn't happen. At Oracle we apologize for these things even if the person is on the other side https://t.co/R0t6xUxAdJ

I'm sorry you were hurt, Maddy, but this is a stadium named after a company that allegedly used fraudulent tactics to approve bad loans so they could later foreclose on the properties. So, perhaps it's unsurprising that it evokes an air of nonaccountability.
"She's actually hurt, and she's a D1 athlete so it's legit," Margot reportedly tweeted regarding her daughter's injuries at the elbow of the t-shirt scrambler. Fortunately, the injury didn't impact Maddy's sharp wit:
Whoops! That escalated quickly...

I never said the guy "knew who I was," just that I was rooting for the Warriors. It wasn't on purpose, but ignoring me after was. Haterz
