For normal people I get it but if I was as high profile as him there’s no chance in hell I would go out into a crowd that size.

He’s doing what he likes most, watching the action from distance

I mean -10 air temp is no joke. I wouldn’t want anyone from out of town to be out there, NBA player or not. Many Minnesotans don’t. It’s like “you need to know what you’re doing or you’ll get frostbite if not hypothermia” weather.

Yeah like I appreciate he said anything for sure ultimately but it is a bit of a humorous comment.  Better than nothing, much better than condemning it so im not in any way shitting on him haha

how many have you gone to?

He pulled out the chair.

It’s definitely a little funny but also equally funny to clown him for it if the people aren’t doing shit either

And Steve Kerr would only let Johnathan Kuminga watch from the park bench

Ah look at the peasants go - Steph to Dray on Friday

The revolution will not be televised. Steph: “Yeah, I can see it right outside my hotel window”

You will not be able to stay home, brother. Steph: “Yeah, I’m traveling for a away game”

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay. Steph: “uhh…”

Yeah …these 1%ers will soon realize they are in the same boat as all of us

Same as everyone else here. If you actually care, show it. Get out in the streets with the people protesting instead of hiding behind a screen begging NBA players to speak up. All I see in here is F this, F that, players have to comment, the league needs to suspend games, blah blah blah. If the issue is really that important, the effort shouldn’t stop at outrage posts.

Did you drive all the way up to Minneapolis big man?

He’s just like us!

when u get paid, you get to stay

IDK, there’s probably a small army of people that would try and stop him, if he tried to go outside and join the march.

Did you not hear “-10 degree weather”? lol. For someone from the bay area, that might as well be Antarctica lol.

No seriously, I have undying respect to the people of Minneapolis and Minnesota. Get ICE out now!

Funny because? He didn’t say he wanted to protest in that weather… just it was nice to see

plumbers in the older era had more balls the modern players today

Especially since the repercussions for high profile BITW athletes would be nonexistent. The NBA needs Steph Curry more than Steph Curry needs the NBA. If they wanted to, a considerable amount of change could occur.

Modern players don’t care. The two things they care are their money and fame

It’s kind of interesting lots of people in the entertainment industry, like most actors, musicians, and NBA players, seem to be so collectively against Trump (Or maybe I’m just spending too much time in Reddit bubble)

No shot. Different society. Guys like Kareem and Bill were quite literally fighting for their rights. Stars today grew up with the privileges they fought for, and thus are more comfortable because of it.

Which is incredible, because like that was the goal. But due to that they don’t have the same dog in them.

He didn’t really call out or even condemn anything. All he really said was that it was nice to see people voicing their opinion on something.

“as long as this doesn’t mean low income people can’t live near me” - Steph Curry

This was soft af. “Yeah, it’s cool people want to be heard.” Bitch, that wasn’t a “bring the McRib back.” This is “stop fucking murdering us.”

Dear lord, he clearly said he’s with the protestors but some of you people will never be happy no matter what

He playing it safe lol only Haliburton is the true goat with his tweet.

>he deserves no praise for this statement

As high-value employees of billionaire team-owners, the NBA’s star athletes hold a unique position of leverage with the kind of people who wield tremendous influence through the sheer magnitude of their wealth. Players have a tangible opportunity to make a genuine difference here, particularly if they act as a collective. Absolutely nobody should be accepting this brand of mealy-mouthed lip service to be anything more than woefully inept pageantry.

He’s my favorite player all time but like cmon man probably top 3 most popular player in the world, do something with that influence man

Was Haliburton protesting? Or are you referring to his tweet

I dunno, I don’t think it’s worth the energy to expect “important people” to be at the forefront. It’d be nice but the people on the street are the ones leading. The rich spend money on making sure they don’t have neighbors, they’re not prone to understanding what’s going on. 

it warms my heart that some people are beginning to realize that these players are incredibly vapid, dumb, and frivolous.

why do you need a basketball player to be a political activist ??

That’s because they aren’t actually important in the grand scheme of things. Not to mention that Ant is either ignorant or unintelligent and likely both.

They may be in a very different class from the owners, but theyre also in a very different class than us. And guys like Steph grew up in very privileged households 

If you’re talking about physically participating;

Its inherently dangerous for a celebrity to be in a big unsupervised crowd.

In the words of MJ, nazis buy gym shoes, too. Or something like that…

Advertising money

They fear it could hurt their business relationships

Why don’t rich people protest this stuff?!

Well

I’m no Steph curry fan but Jesus Christ you expect him to be out there protesting? These keyboard warriors 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This is why athletes don’t say shit. We dissect everything and purity test it to a point that speaking out only does harm for them.

Yeah cuz Steph curry is gonna risk himself being out in a group of people that large

Not expecting him to join anything but some words of criticism for this shit would be great, maybe it’s not important to him.

They complain and criticize a positive response for the protesting, while 90% of the league hasn’t said shit.

Obama told the players to not strike in 2020 after George Floyd. He does not have the best interests of the country if he thinks milquetoast incrementalism works in the face of ratcheting authoritarianism.

Ok? Reposting something that SOMEONE else wrote is really making a point. It’s him sitting up in his luxury hotel room looking down on the protesters while he could be down with them to show real support. Come on peep don’t try to defend him on this one

Sorry what?
