SPORTS ILLUSTRATED COVER SLAMMED BY WARRIORS’ STEPH CURRY: ‘IT’S TERRIBLE’

Steph Curry has ripped into the latest Sports Illustrated cover on the unity of sport for not including NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, according to reports.

Released earlier this week,the magazine features an image of Curry, star of the Golden State Warriors team, arm in arm with LeBron James and Roger Goodell. Warriors coach Steve Kerr also features, along with football players such as Michael Bennett.

All 10 people on the new cover have spoken out against President Trump in the last week after he urged NFL owners to fire any players who kneeled down during the anthem. But Curry said there was one crucial absentee: Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who started the idea of taking a knee.

“That was terrible,” Curry said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “It’s just kind capitalizing on the hoopla and the media and all that nonsense. The real people understand exactly what’s been going on, and who’s really been active and vocal and truly making a difference.

“If you don’t have Kaepernick front and center on that, something’s wrong. It’s kind of hard how certain narratives take place, being prisoners of the moment.”
