Interactions between fans and athletes can be volatile but they don’t have to be. Adult fans are usually the worst perpetrators due to their entitlement. Kid fans are just happy to be there and hope to see their favorite players. Whenever they get spurned, it feels like a betrayal.
It is what makes this viral clip of Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry ignoring this little kid, very, very funny while also being very, very cruel.
yo….Steph Curry ain’t shit lol pic.twitter.com/uLNpg07SnD

The original video comes from Facebook and it details how the only thing the kid wanted was a Steph Curry autograph. It is easy to see why it went viral when it really tugs at the heartstrings.
One person though was not having it and it was Steph’s wife, Ayesha Curry. She took to Twitter to make sure that everyone knew what was up and wanted to set the record straight.
So tired of seeing this. He was looking for a family member in a crowd of 100 people which you can’t see on the other side of the camera…

He would never purposefully ignore a squirrel let alone a precious little boy. Demeaning someone to get your followers up much.

No he didn’t. He does the same thing to me at least once a week 😂😂😂. He has tunnel vision. If you had placed a bet you would’ve lost so bad.

After watching the clip it is tough to take a side on this one. It plainly looks like Curry looked at the little boy. Then again, these players go through these situations often. This could’ve just slipped through the cracks.
It all could be solved at a moments notice by taking the kid back to the locker room. Do the right thing!
