Media members angry about Steph Curry bringing his daughter to press conference

The people who complained in the first place brought it on themselves. They were saying "We're trying to do our job," implying that job is so important that it deserves a child-free environment.

Fine. You imply that, I'll go and look at the job you're doing in that environment. I've read most of the transcripts, and I read nothing that added any value or insight to anything.

It's like an office employee complaining that the phone rings too much. Upon further observation, you find the employee is only complaining because it's interrupting his mid-day nap.

 

It was 8:30 at night, maybe 9:00.

Do you know anything about children?

 

Alma, you should also write a story on parenting and the dangers of keeping kids up to late.

It would be far more important than covering the fluff that are those press conferences.

 

Alma, why do you consider it "celebrity nonsense" for a player to want to enjoy/share his high moments with his daughter?

 

Was Curry available to speak to reporters in the locker room after his press conference?

A lot of bad answers come out of press conferences because they're unnatural. They're not a conversation. They're not introspective.

If he spoke afterward, and people got a chance to ask their questions there, it's a bit easier to not care about those manufactured six minutes.

 

Isn't covering sports in itself celebrity nonsense?

 

You can't call a press conference pointless and boring and then consider it an athlete's "high moment."

 

Does the high stop after the final whistle?

 

Get over yourself Alma. You're not that important. No, you're not.

 

I've flipped a bit on this too. The second time was a bit much. One time is spontaneous, two times is contrived.

I haven't flipped on the media bitching, though. If you think it's unprofessional to bring a toddler to the presser, also recognize it's unprofessional to bitch about it in public.

 

Showering, tipping the locker room attendant and icing down your knees don't qualify as high moments, either, yet they often coincide with them.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit of retaliation -- tacit and classy retaliation -- for all the B.S. of the last week. A worthy time for it too.

Plus you have to figure he appreciated the "shield" effect since there was so much drama to shield himself from last night. Just think of the brutal questions he would have faced if not for his daughter's presence.
