RACIAL JUSTICE & POLICE BRUTALITY: On May 30, 2020, Hayward posted a series of tweets about the murder of George Floyd. The tweets condemn racism and police brutality but also show disapproval of rioters who looted and vandalized businesses while protesting. This thread is currently his pinned tweet.
EDUCATION REFORM: In August 2020, NBA players sported jerseys labeled with important causes in place of the players’ names. Hayward was criticized and accused of racism for using his jersey to advocate for “education reform” while most of his teammates wore jerseys supporting racial justice.
COVID-19: Hayward encouraged people to stay inside and #flattenthecurve with a video posted to the Boston Celtics’ Twitter on March 16, 2020.
CONSERVATIVE ASSISTS: Hayward’s wife, Robyn, appears to have donated $300 to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. *Kinda “guilt by association” with this connection to conservatives, but along with the “conservative fandom” below suggests a pattern of conservative association.
CONSERVATIVE FANDOM: Hayward is following conservatively biased news source FOX News on Twitter, presumably for news.
Hayword scores a few liberal points for his public statements on police brutality and the COVID-19 pandemic. But with little other cheering for liberal causes and his conservative assists and fandom suggest that he plays primarily for the Conservatives.
