The WNBA is coming out swingin’ at Gilbert Arenas — saying his comments about WNBA players are “repugnant, utterly disrespectful and flat-out wrong.”
Gilbert had this to say:
NOW this is what america was hoping for when they announced the #WNBA back in 1996… not a bunch of chicks running around looking like,cast members from #orangeisthenewblack…dont get me wrong,they have few #cutiepies but theres a whole alotta #beanpies running around hahahahahaha if #skylardiggins came out like this,I dont care if she missed every layup..imma buy season tickets and I dont even know where the fuck #tulsa is hahahaha #2016newwnbaoutfitPLS and if u think this is sexist,9 times out of 10 u the ugly one and we didnt pay to come see u play anyway #donkeykong …smdh #thiswillbeawesome #soldouteverywhere
A league spokesperson issued a statement on behalf of the WNBA and the NBA condemning Gilbert’s suggestion that the league get rid of ugly players … and force the hot ones to play in more revealing uniforms.
“WNBA players are strong, talented and determined individuals who give it their all on the court and serve as inspiring role models to millions around the world. They should be celebrated for their accomplishments, not disparaged with ignorant insults.”
WNBA players also excoriated Arenas and, along with social media, roasted the exiled NBA player until he looked like a burnt matchstick. Take a look at the epic dragging:
As a female basketball player, I am thoroughly disgusted by the comments made about the WNBA by Gilbert Arenas. #ByeGilbert
