Ayesha Curry latest sports spouse to lash out on Twitter

With a click, Ayesha Curry made herself a part of the NBA Finals story.

Stephen Curry’s wife spoke out loudly on social media with a tweet suggesting Thursday night’s Game 6 was rigged. In doing so, she joined a list of spouses who have brought added and sometimes unwanted attention to their husbands on the playing field with social media posts.

“I’ve lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings I’m not sure which,” Ayesha Curry tweeted near the end of the game, which the Warriors lost 115-101 to the Cavaliers. “I won’t be silent. Just saw it live sry (sorry).”

The reaction on social media was immediate and sometimes unpleasant.

Ayesha isn’t the first spouse to take to Twitter to share frustrations — sometimes putting their husbands in awkward positions.

— Gabrielle Union, wife of Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, tweeted that the officials should be fined after they didn’t call a foul when Wade attempted a shot and appeared to draw contact in the closing seconds of a playoff loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

— Mika Grimes, the wife of former Miami Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes, wrote a series of tweets criticizing Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts last season. In one she asked, “How many people does ryan tannehill have to get fired before you realize he’s the problem?”
