Team USA | Stephen Curry

In a shocking move that has sent shockwaves through both sports and pop culture, the NFL has officially cut ties with LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall — banning rainbow armbands, shoelaces, and any pride imagery on the field. The decision, made in a closed-door meeting with team captains last Tuesday, has left fans furious.

And while many expected silence from athletes outside the league, NBA icon Stephen Curry broke ranks, blasting the NFL’s move as “a step backwards for inclusivity and humanity.” Curry added: “Sports are supposed to unite, not divide. If a rainbow scares you, maybe the problem isn’t the rainbow.”

Social media erupted instantly, with hashtags #StandWithCurry and #NFLRainbowBan trending worldwide. Fans are calling the two-time MVP a “hero” for speaking up when others stayed quiet.

👀 Rumors are already swirling that Curry might join forces with other major athletes in a cross-sport coalition to push back against the NFL’s decision — a move that could turn into the biggest sports activism moment since Colin Kaepernick.
