President Steph Curry? Stop It.

One of the absolutely most annoying things that has happened during the rise of social media has been the rumor mill that celebrities or athletes are going to run for political office. 

It's gimmicky, cringe and, the overwhelming majority of the time, is just 99% BS and used for clickbait. 

The most recent example comes from Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry perhaps getting into politics - even possibly running for President.

Newsflash to every hack journalist out there - it ain't going to happen. So stop it.

STEPH CURRY HINTS AT POLITICAL LIFE - BUT DON'T BUY IT

During a recent appearance on CBS Mornings, the future NBA Hall of Famer was asked if he had any political aspirations or even considered running for President! 

"Maybe, I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can," Curry began. "If that's the way to do it - I'm not going to say the presidency, but if politics is a way that you can create meaningful change or if there's another way outside of politics."

That's actually a great politically spun answer, Steph. Saying something while saying nothing at the same time is a true sign of being part of the establishment. 

To his credit, Curry has done a tremendous amount of good for the Oakland, California area and especially with youth groups and school food programs. But just because he's charitable doesn't mean he's going to run for political office - even Steph himself knows that he doesn't want that headache. Plus, everyone knows that if you truly want to get something accomplished - you don't take the political route. That's where all noble ideas go to die!

DON'T BUY THE HYPE

So no, everybody - Steph Curry is not running for President. Just like The Rock never was, nor Matthew McConaughey running for Texas Governor, etc. It's all just manufactured hype.

The only celebrity or athlete that may actually get involved in politics one day soon? Aaron Rodgers. And as we all know, Rodgers lives for the chaos.
