Golden State's point guard Stephen Curry penned an essay discussing an athlete's platform, and the idea that athletes have disrespected the military for The Players' Tribune in honor of Veterans Day.
Called "The Noise," the essay discuses an athlete's decision to use their platform in protest of social issues.
He discussed the issue of using sports as a form of protest when he's talked with former veterans.
"And every single veteran I’ve spoken to, they’ve all said pretty much the exact same thing: That this conversation we’ve started to have in the world of sports … whether it’s been Colin kneeling, or entire NFL teams finding their own ways to show unity, or me saying that I didn’t want to go to the White House — it’s the opposite of disrespectful to them.
