NBA, NETS, ACH AND PLAYERS HAVE ALL BOTCHED THE RPONSE TO KEV DURANT’S ANTI-GAY MENTS
Kev Durant ed the most graphic anti-gay language I’ve ever heard om a pro athlete. The NBA rponse? Crickets. * brooklyn nets gay pride *
The graphic was a mix of the LGBTQ+, LGBTQ+ progrs, lbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, trans, agenr, aromantic, non-bary, genrqueer and tersex flags. My hunch is a gay man did not sign this. Gay nservativ also blasted the Nets tweet.
This lerally don’t mean anythg and is wholly disnnected to gay pri.
The NBA, s teams and players have pursued many iativ to support the LGBTQ muny and gay athlet the last few years. Collectively they have all also dropped the ball rpondg to graphic homophobic ments by Brooklyn Nets superstar Kev Durant.

* brooklyn nets gay pride *
Many people across the NBA want homophobia and homophobic language sports to go away. So how did almost every sgle one of them rpond to Kev Durant — one of the league’s biggt stars and a future Hall of Famer — g lerally the most graphic homophobic language I’ve ever seen om a profsnal athlete?
While wearg shirts lobbyg for social jtice and g their platforms to ph for equaly and acceptance, when me to one of their own last week — aga, g the most graphic homophobic language I’ve ever heard om any profsnal athlete ever — NBA players closed ranks and stayed quiet.

One player even fend Durant and his e of graphic anti-gay language, sayg, “He didn’t do nothg wrong.
Durant’s anti-gay actns were multiple, repeated, and n’t be said enough: signed by Durant to be graphic and to elic a negative rponse.
Whether the cricket-rponse is the league downplayg homophobia or givg a future Hall of Famer a pass, we should get answers.

Nimo went further and explaed why this episo — a private nversatn laced wh homophobia — is exactly the opportuny for more nversatn, not somethg to try to ignore:. Yet when he wanted to sult someone text msag, Durant went directly to homophobic language. A gay slur would have been better than what he said.
He graphilly scribed sex between two men and repeatedly ed homophobia as a bludgeon to beat down his alleged enemy, actor Michael Rapaport. There is zero doubt my md that the NBA would support an out gay player the league. The league sentially nceled Tim Hardaway when he proclaimed to Dan Lebatard, “I hate gay people.
I also have zero doubt that Durant would support a gay teammate.

But this isn’t about a gay player g out the NBA. This is about the fear that ris those players, llege players, and for the thoands of gay high school and youth basketball players who jt watched an NBA star e some of the most homophobic language I’ve ever seen om an athlete, and then watched the league look the other way.
To their cred, the Nets have prevly hosted Pri gam and signed Jason Colls after he me out publicly as gay. I’m sorry people saw my homophobic language?
But gosh, what a missed opportuny to send a msage to players and fans about the importance of stoppg homophobic language and the impact has on people.
