Last week Steph Curry took heat or the very least criticism over his comments that the humans never landed on the moon. Well Kyrie Irving, who knows full well what it feels like to say something that makes entirely no sense, came to his defense on Tuesday. Remember when he said that the earth was flat?
Speaking after practice on Tuesday Irving had this to say, “There’s world hunger going on, there’s political things going on, there’s so many higher things going on in the totem pole of society that matter to human beings. But, hey, Steph Curry says he doesn’t believe in the moon [landing], it’s the thing all over. It’s on CNN. And they say that we’re just jocks. We’re just athletes. But it’s on your channel. So you know what I mean? Like we’re that, but you don’t want us to be that.”
No Kyrie, we just want you guys to act like you’ve at least gone to somebody’s school. To say that the earth is flat or to say that humans have never landed on the moon is to be ignorant of the facts that have been proven. It’s not like we’re living in a world where we’ve got to listen to Christopher Columbus lie to folks about discovering a new world when people had already been living there for hundreds of year if not thousands. Now that was LIE!!!
For Steph to say that humans never landed on the moon was to be outright ignorant of U.S. history. There is video tape of the whole thing going down. On July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 blasted off with three astronauts on aboard, Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins, who were real human beings. Four days later on July 20 Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon and walked around for three hours collecting dirt etc.
Now nobody’s asking Steph to know the details of the event but to say that it didn’t happen was ridiculous. Then to act like he was playing was even more ridiculous. People aren’t asking these cats to be scientists. They’re asking them to act like they’ve at least gone to somebody’s school. And yes, I know that they don’t make a living understand history and geography but part of their living is made speaking to the media. Just minimize the dumb stuff you say to them then you won’t have to deal with folks asking you to clarify what you said. Stop me when I start lyin’!
