George Floyd was murdered by police in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago and his death has sparked protests all throughout the United States. At this point, people are simply fed up with police brutality and they want real solutions to be brought about. These demonstrations have proven to be extremely important in the fight for equality and numerous athletes have been doing their part to speak out and help bring real change to the people.
We've seen NBA players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Jaylen Brown participate in protests and now, Steph Curry is doing so as well. In fact, Curry was spotted protesting in the Bay Area on Saturday and throughout the afternoon, he was leading “Donald Trump has got to go” chants.

Curry has been known to use his voice quite a bit over the years. In fact, when the Golden State Warriors won the title back in 2017 and 2018, Curry and his teammates refused to participate in the customary visit to the White House. Instead, they had their very own private meeting with Barack Obama.
Throughout the next few weeks, we will certainly be seeing even more athletes getting involved in these protests. This is an important cause and it's clear that many are well aware of the stakes.
