I’m sure by now everyone has seen or heard of 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick‘s protest of the National Anthem. Although many people have voiced their anger concerning the matter, there have also been a handful of supporters, one of the most recent being Golden State Warriors guard, Stephen Curry. In a recent interview with CNBC , Steph Curry says that he applauds Kaepernick for standing up for what he believes in.
Curry states:
“I love that. I love that there’s freedom of speech and that he can stand for what he believes in. There’s gonna be people that disagree with him. There’s gonna be people that agree with him, which is what I think our country stands for. Hopefully it will drive the conversation to the bettering the equal rights and treatment of African-Americans and people of color.”
He goes on to say:
“I applaud him for taking his stand. And hopefully the conversation is about what his message was and not ‘Is he gonna stand, or is he gonna sit for the national anthem?’”
