Stephen Curry doesn't like seeing sports events taken away from his home state of North Carolina.
That's just what happened this summer with the NBA deciding not to have the All-Star Game in Charlotte for the upcoming season in light of North Carolina's controversial HB2 bill.

“I think it's unfortunate for our city and our state to be under the microscope with [House Bill 2] and how it's unfolded,” Curry said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I'm all for equal and fair rights and treatment for everybody. Until it gets addressed, until some changes are made, this could be a recurring theme in North Carolina. I don't want that happen.”
“The All-Star Game has been moved, the NCAA tournament, things that would bring so much joy and support to the city, mainstay events. But I think it's a conversation that will continue until changes are made. I don't have any answers as to how that will happen, but hopefully it happens sooner rather than later,” Curry said.
Athletes more and more today are speaking up about political issues. Curry hasn't backed down.
