Colin Kaepernick is standing up for his beliefs and as much opposition as he’s getting, he’s also getting a huge support from fans and others in the sports world. Steph Curry admires him and reflected on it.
From the moment we’re kids, our parents taught us to stand up for what we believe in no matter what people say. So now that Colin Kaepernick is doing what many people have been crying about for a while, we’re going to crucify him? That’s not how it works. But, the numbers are in and Kaeperick’s jersey is the number one seller right now. The proceeds from the sales will go back to the community but it’s proof that numbers don’t lie. His words are getting support.
Another big figure in the sports world, Steph Curry, touched upon Kaepernick’s stance and it was just admirable but he’s inspired many around him.
“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. 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?’”
Kaepernick continues to get round of applauses from those around the sports world.
