NBA: Curry: Anthem protests in the NBA “counterproductive”

Basketball superstar Stephen Curry from champion Golden State Warriors considers a hymn protest “counterproductive”as in other US sports in the North American professional league NBA.This was explained by the two-time MVP during his club’s trip to China.

Curry had caused some excitement recently when he refused to accept the obligatory invitation of the US president for the NBA champion to the White House in protest.

Anything else beyond that is “counterproductive”, said Curry, who was uninvited by incumbent Donald Trump after his announcement.Curry said there are better ways for players to express their views.In this way, they should participate actively in society.The resigned superstar Kobe Bryant had recently declared that he would kneel during the anthem if he were still active.

For some time now, sports professionals have been kneeling down in protest against racial discrimination and police violence in the USA.The NBA had recently confirmed in a memo to all 30 teams that according to existing regulations, all players will be facing the game during the national anthem.In the event of misconduct, the League reserves the right to punish the relevant professionals.
