Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry isn't letting his absence in Orlando leave his voice unheard. The Golden State Warriors superstar has taken full advantage of his reach and influence to make sure he adds to the social commentary on social justice and racism.
Recently, NBA players have used their platform to speak out against the injustices going on in the world. They promoted ideals of equality and other important advocacies whether through actions on and off the court, their jerseys and even their media interviews. And even if people like President Donald Trump aren't happy about this “new normal” of athletes being more vocal and direct with their messaging, Curry says that that shouldn't matter.
“My barometer is always, if the current president is upset about something that somebody’s speaking out on, then you’re probably saying the right thing.” Curry said. “Whether they’ve knelt, or sacrificed an interview to talk about Breonna Taylor, or whatever’s important, they’re talking about it and they’re backing it up with action.”
Stephen Curry was one of the first few to tweet in support of the NBA teams kneeling on the opening night of the NBA season restart a few weeks ago. And now, Curry was one of the select few allowed to enter the T.P.C. Harding Park in San Francisco to watch the PGA Championship last Sunday where he again vocalized his undying support of the league and its players' efforts to remain active in advocating societal change.
Although Curry and his injury-laden Warriors were not invited to take part of the bubble in Orlando, he is continuously supporting his fellow athletes in their effort to make their voices be heard.
The three-time NBA champion is making sure he's part of the movement no matter where he is.
