Stephen Curry rips Sports Illustrated for leaving Colin Kaepernick off cover

Sports Illustrated dedicated its cover to the recent protests against racial inequality that have spiked since President Donald Trump criticized NBA and NFL athletes over the weekend, but the result was shortsighted, excluding the one man who really belonged front and center: Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback who first knelt during the national anthem to protest social injustice. As a result, the athlete who was Photoshopped front and center onto the cover — Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry — took serious issue with the magazine's decision to pose him linking arms with Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
