We already knew Gilbert Arenas, the former NBA player who once ;brought guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, ;has awful judgment. But the 33-year-old demonstrated it once again in an Instagram post on Wednesday, which featured some clear-cut sexist opinions. ;
In the NSFW Instagram video, ;two women play basketball in thongs. Arenas captioned his post, ;”NOW this is what america was hoping for when they announced the #WNBA back in 1996.” We don’t think we have to explain what is so offensive about this. ;
Arenas also said WNBA players look like cast members from the Netflix show “Orange Is the New Black” and called them #beanpies, along with a whole lot of other disgustingly, degrading things.
He then decided to post another one of his sexist hot takes just a few hours later.
When a person has 10+ hashtags in any post, they’re either trying too hard or they’re saying something incredibly stupid. For Arenas, it looks to be a combination of the two.
So going forward, how about we just not pay attention to anything he has to say? Oh, and go support women’s sports, too. ;

This post has been updated to include the second Arenas Instagram post.
