Some athletes should stick to what they do best …sports.
In any case, NBA athlete Gilbert Arenas has social media coming for his head with recent comments encouraging WNBA players to “unveil them bodies” in an Instagram video post.
Accompanying an image of two women playing a one-on-one game, Arena, who uses the social handle @gilbertpettyarenas, felt inspired to write the below foolishness:
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
His misogynistic posts and commentary made the social media rounds, and fell upon the presence of WNBA star Swin Cash, who struck back on Twitter:
Sorry loves but we are at war trying to save our young girls from a lot of social media shaming & I am not here for it! Gotta run be great

Gilbert, it is not cute nor funny to belittle the intelligence and athletic ability of women to fit your sexual desires. Take in to consideration the messages from Swin and think about the impressionable young girls. This is a serious topic. Just think, a dream could have been crushed from reading or hearing your twisted perspective.
Please, have several seats, sir petty, and speak no more.
