Steph Curry Echoes Woke Steve Kerr At DNC, Endorses Kamala Harris In CRINGE Video

Published

on

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has recently found himself at the center of a political debate after publicly endorsing Kamala Harris during the Democratic National Convention (DNC). Following in the footsteps of his coach, Steve Kerr, who also endorsed Harris, Curry’s message focused on themes of unity, hope, and the importance of civic engagement. However, the endorsement has not come without controversy, as it reignited discussions about Curry’s past actions and the broader issue of celebrity involvement in politics.

In his video message, Curry highlighted his pride in representing Team USA at the Olympics, using that experience to draw parallels to the unity he believes Harris could bring to the country. He praised her leadership and urged Americans to vote in the upcoming election, calling it a critical time for preserving hope and ensuring the well-being of families across the nation.
However, critics have been quick to point out what they see as hypocrisy in Curry’s message. Earlier this year, Curry faced backlash for opposing a low-income housing development near his mansion in California. This incident has led some to question the sincerity of his endorsement of Harris, particularly given her platform’s emphasis on social justice and support for underprivileged communities.

The backlash is further fueled by comparisons to Steve Kerr, who has also been criticized for speaking out on certain issues while remaining silent on others, such as human rights concerns in China. Both Curry and Kerr are seen by some as emblematic of a larger trend within the NBA, where athletes are increasingly using their platforms to promote political agendas.

This has led to a broader conversation about whether athletes should engage in political endorsements at all. Some, like Michael Jordan during his playing days, have chosen to stay neutral, famously saying, “Republicans buy sneakers too.” Jordan’s approach was seen as a way to maintain broad appeal without alienating any segment of his fan base, a strategy that some believe Curry and Kerr should consider.
The reaction to Curry’s endorsement of Kamala Harris underscores the complex relationship between sports, politics, and public perception. As more athletes choose to speak out on political issues, they inevitably open themselves up to both praise and criticism. Whether Curry’s message will resonate with voters or further polarize opinions remains to be seen, but it is clear that his decision to publicly support Harris has sparked a significant debate.

What do you think about athletes using their platforms for political endorsements? Should they stay neutral, or is it their responsibility to speak out on issues they care about? Let us know in the comments below
