Gilbert Arenas proposes WNBA feature more 'cutiepies,' sexier outfits
Gilbert Arenas is sharing his unfiltered thoughts on the WNBA, and they likely could have used some filtering.
The former NBA player posted a video to his Instagram of two scantily clad women playing basketball as an example of what he believes would make the women's league more popular.
Arenas - who says those who disagree with him are probably ugly - explains:
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
The WNBA, along with the NBA, released a statement calling Arenas' comments "repugnant, utterly disrespectful, and flat-out wrong."
