Anthony Edwards, zveznik Minnesota Timberwolvsov, ki je v ligi NBA vsega dve leti, leta 2020 pa je bil proglašen za novinca leta, se je znašel v zagati. Na družbeno omrežje Instagram je namreč objavil video v katerem je izrekel neprimerne komentarje v zvezi s LGBTQ skupnostjo.
Čeprav je Edwards video hitro zbrisal z Instagram profila, so ga njegovi sledilci že shranili in posnetek je kmalu postal viralen. Ameriški košarkar se je sicer javno že opravičil za svoje besede v posnetku.

What I said was immature, hurtful, and disrespectful, and I’m incredibly sorry. It’s unacceptable for me or anyone to use that language in such a hurtful way, there’s no excuse for it, at all. I was raised better than that!
