WNBA Players Blast Gilbert Arenas Following His Sexist Bikini Basketball Video

If you’ve been on the Internet at all this week, you’ve likely seen the shenanigans of one, Gilbert Arenas. A former NBA player running his mouth about women playing basketball in bikinis and and some other nonsensical caveman stuff that truly makes you wonder how he functions in a civilized society. No, for real, reading this stuff will make you immediately dumber by the second.

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

Hahahahaha I didnt say anything about them being #Lesbians lol..im a logical man…a female+ a female = 4 breast,2 vaginas,2 asses,meaning im on the hunt.. A female telling me shes a #lesbian is like a video chick saying she aint a groupie…I AINT really listening to shit she saying..all im trying to do is convince her and her partner that im a #lesbianstarterkit becuz we all know two females is better then 1 lmaoooooo but that ugly part YEAHHHH they got some #boogawolfs in that league lmaooo hahahaha #impetty #mrpetty

As my esteemed colleague Spencer Lund noted: “Even if you don’t like watching the WNBA, or you’d prefer to watch women in bikinis play basketball, that doesn’t excuse this sort of medieval thinking about female athletes.”

This goes without saying, but Arenas doesn’t understand this point. Or perhaps he understands, but doesn’t care. Either way, the jab at the WNBA didn’t go over well. Several notable players weighed in on their social media accounts.

Arguably the most popular player in the league, Elena Delle Donne:

One of the greatest players in WNBA history, Swin Cash:

And many others:
