Steph Curry protest: Curry protests with his wife Ayesha Curry and Warriors teammates

Curry has been open about his dislike for the US President and has also been actively participating in speaking up about George Floyd's death two weeks ago. Curry was among the first few NBA stars to speak up by posting a photo of George Floyd with Derek Chauvin's knee pressed against his. Curry has since then participated in Blackout Tuesday last week and also posted a video of the protest he was a part of.

Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevon Looney and Damion Lee attended a protest organized by Juan Toscano Anderson in Oakland on Wednesday last week. Curry's wife, Ayesha Curry, was also a part of the peaceful protest. Other people at the 'Walk in Unity' protest uploaded photos of the Warriors star kneeling and chanting in Floyd's name. Two weeks ago, George Floyd was killed by a police officer, who pressed his knee against Floyd's neck for over eight minutes. Floyd's protests of not being able to breathe went unheard and Chauvin stopped only after Floyd went still. His death caused the USA to start protesting and promoting the Black Lives Matter movement.

GEORGE FLOYD If this image doesn’t disturb you and piss you off, then idk. I’ve seen a lot of people speak up and try to articulate how fed up and angry they are. All good and well but it’s the same same same reality we live in. George Floyd. George Floyd. George has a family. George didn’t deserve to die. George pleaded for help and was just straight up ignored, which speaks loud and clear that his black life didn’t matter. George was murdered. George wasn’t human to that cop that slowly and purposefully took his life away. #georgefloyd

After Curry and the Warriors won the NBA Finals in 2017, they were invited for dinner at the White House. However, while talking to a newspaper, Curry revealed that he did not want to go. In his statement, Curry stated that their views did not match with Trump at all and said that the Warriors going to the White House was not going to change everything. Donald Trump had tweeted about Curry's comments, uninviting him.
