Stephen Curry said Thursday he will appoint Fox News host

SAN FRANCISCO – In a move that has caught both the sports and media worlds off guard, NBA superstar Stephen Curry announced Thursday that he intends to appoint a Fox News host to a key advisory position within his new charitable foundation. The announcement came during a press conference in Oakland, where Curry spoke about the importance of bridging divides and fostering dialogue across different perspectives.

“I believe real progress comes when we listen to each other, even when we disagree,” Curry said. “That’s why I’m reaching out beyond the usual circles and inviting voices from all backgrounds—including the media—to help shape our work.”

While Curry did not name the specific Fox News host, he emphasized that the choice was about “building bridges, not walls.” He explained that the host would serve as an advisor on a panel focused on media literacy, civil discourse, and community engagement.

The news has sparked a wave of reactions online. Supporters praised Curry for his willingness to engage with diverse viewpoints and challenge echo chambers. Critics, however, questioned whether a Fox News personality aligns with the foundation’s mission and values.

Media analysts say the move could signal a new era of high-profile collaborations between sports figures and media personalities, especially as public trust in traditional news sources continues to erode.

As speculation grows about which Fox News host Curry will select, one thing is clear: the NBA champion is once again using his platform to push boundaries and encourage dialogue—both on and off the court.
