Man Named @RileyCurry Gets Mean Tweets From Haters Tweeting Curry's 3-Year-Old Daughter
OAKLAND (CBS SF) -- No matter how much folks may hate on Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, who would send a mean Tweet to his 3-year-old little girl? A lot of people apparently.
A 29-year-old man whose name is Riley Curry gets tweets from people who think he is the MVP's daughter. No matter that his thumbnail clearly shows its not the fair-haired child who became a media darling during the NBA Championship Finals in 2015, the nasty tweets persist.
When @RileyCurry went public about the case of mistaken identity some folks shamed the haters, while others told him to man up and get a new handle.
People tweet horrible things at me thinking I am @StephenCurry30 daughter. I am a 29 yr old man. Social media can be so awful. @MikeAndMike

You got to admit, trash-talking and insulting a kid is pretty low, though. How low does it get? Here's a sampling...

It gets worse... way worse... but we won't go there.
If the real Riley Curry is ever old enough to read this, we apologize on behalf of all these grownups.
Tell your dad better luck next year.
