In just under 36 hours, Gilbert Arenas has managed to become the Donald Trump of the NBA — sorry, make that the Chinese Basketball Association — by not only refusing to remove or apologize for his ridiculously offensive comments about women in the WNBA, but also continuing to talk sh-t on Instagram.
When Gilbert’s initial comments went viral, the WNBA issued a statement saying:
“Gilbert Arenas’ comments are repugnant, utterly disrespectful and flat-out wrong. WNBA players are strong, talented and determined individuals who give it their all on the court and serve as inspiring role models to millions around the world. They should be celebrated for their accomplishments, not disparages with ignorant insults.”
Instead of owning up to the disrespect, Gilbert took to Instagram to hurl more insults and correct one fallacy — he didn’t call anyone a lesbian. Because apparently all the other offensive stuff was okay.
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

Mr. Petty indeed. See, as if that post wasn’t enough, Gilbert went on to issue a personal eff u to people mad at his comments — so essentially the whole world — writing in another post:
To all the ppl mad about my POSTS #jackieM #aroundthehorn and bunch of high self esteem ugly chicks #FUCK YOU hahahahahaha I was trying to help ya sport But I guess yall are doing fine with #orangeisthenewblackbasketballedition #peoplehatethetruth what makes me laugh is if you ask men,name a few women basketball players.. we only know the cute ones lol #mayamoore #skylarD #leilani #candiceparker #penny #suebird #lisaleslie #swincash #dianataurasi #mariastepanova #brittneyjackson #dellavedova and #hoopz from #flavaoflove hahahahahaha
Isn’t it funny how Gilbert is talking like he’s still in the league and people actually know who he is? It’s also equally hilarious how for all that this-what-us-men-like talk, not a single man who values his life (or his mentions) has co-signed this sexist nonsense. What has happened, however, is women like former WNBBA champion Camille Little have come out to discredit every single thing he’s said about female basketball players being ugly. Yup Camille, we’re with you. #BeanPieDeez
4 all the ppl who think the #WNBA should play in👙 & all the players look like men! This is for u! #BeanPieDeez pic.twitter.com/2QvO3jwwLM

I wouldn’t have even posted those pictures in response to him. Trying to “disprove” a jackass’s opinions just gives him more fodder and validates the notion that he could’ve/might’ve been right if the girls didn’t have sexy pics to post. The point is nobody’s checking for his thoughts, especially when they’re so ridiculous, so we shouldn’t even be engaging his stupidity. The WNBA don’t need to prove a damn thing to him.
December 17, 2015 -
You’re right, I wouldn’t have posted pictures to validate my femininity. I’m a woman because I say I am. Fuuk him and men like him.
December 17, 2015 -
I’m really getting tired of sexist black men, they do have an awful stench about them, I wonder if he would be okay if his mama was treated as just ass and booty and nothing above or in between. I hope karma slaps in his face , worthless mess of a man.
December 17, 2015 -
He looks like his breath smells like doodoo???
December 17, 2015 -
LOL! It probably does, Mary, especially when he’s talking a lot of bull****.
December 18, 2015 -
Yep.
December 17, 2015 -
There are some people you should just ignore. Don’t let their ignorant words get to you and don’t waste your time or energy responding to them. Gilbert is one of these people.
December 17, 2015 -
There is no hope for this ignorant donkey.
December 17, 2015 -
Now, why are people even paying this fool attention? Clearly he don’t have shit going for him.
And he thinks he would be on the NBA player list of fine men? Hahaha! Nope.
December 19, 2015 -
With his ashy ass…
December 20, 2015 -
As in Ashy Larry
December 20, 2015 -
ROTFL. You a’int playing today and that’s great. 😉
December 20, 2015 -
LOL, exactly.
December 20, 2015 -
P.S. Have a Blessed Week Sister.
December 17, 2015 -
He is starved for attention. Right – IGNORE him! He is astoundingly ignorant and ugly tboot.
December 17, 2015 -
Um, this is a grown man who uses ” hahahaha” in his writing like he is a 13 year old One Direction fangirl. Anything he has to say should be taken with an eye-roll and a wholehearted “Next!”.
December 17, 2015 -
We are right all along about him. He’s a insecure male (not man). If he was a real man, he would confront the problems facing black people (from poverty to police terrorism). If he was a real man, he would defend the right of women to pursue their lives as they see fit. If when was a real man, he would be in favor of progressive insights and justice for all. So, he wants to make immature, rash, and downright disrespectful comments since he’s a misogynist. Beauty is diverse not monolithic. He has no shame. He cursing out those who disagrees with him shows how much a coward that he is. He is older than me with the mentality of an immature teen. I have 2 words for him and we know what those 2 words are. He should be placed on ignore as other great commentators have mentioned here.
December 18, 2015 -
You hit the nail on the head with “insecure male”
December 18, 2015 -
Thank you Sister. You have dropped jewels on this issue as well.
December 17, 2015 -
Is this dude on drugs? There’s clearly something wrong with him. He’s an insignificant troll who needs to stay under the bridge and remain in obscurity as no one is checking for him. He’s just desperate for attention.
December 17, 2015 -
Teach Sister.
December 18, 2015 -
I love how you phrased that Noir, so on point he like a stupid troll. He’s just a fool and a jackass.
December 18, 2015 -
LOL, girl! Yes, Mary, he is truly all those things.
December 18, 2015 -
My fiancé played basketball for college and overseas. She is as feminine as they come. I’ve never thought less of her or her skills just because she is a woman. She could tear me up cat-raggedy on the court.
When I saw her in uniform I always saw her a beautiful woman. I don’t need to see her or her teammates in bikinis to take them serious on the court. They are kick ass women that play basketball.
This jackass should find something else to do! I was going to show my fiancé this article but I’m not going to waste her time with this.
I hate hearing or reading sexist crap like this. It just goes to show some men have f**ked ways of seeing things.
December 18, 2015 -
I like “cat raggedy” lol.
December 18, 2015 -
Lol. My mom use to say that to me all the time! I never understood it until I got older. I saw a cat that looked like it lost too many fights. That is when I realized how bad “Cat-Raggedy” is! Lmao! That’s my mother for ya!
So…my fiancé challenged me to a game of basketball when we first met. I am not good at ALL! But, my male ego will not let me back down. She whip my a** for a good hour. All I could think about was Cat-Raggedy!!!
December 20, 2015 -
Cute?
December 18, 2015 -
Amen.
December 18, 2015 -
Thank you for this post, that was an awesome read. Lucky fiancée!
December 18, 2015 -
I’m glad that so many people are standing up against sexist views.
December 18, 2015 -
Me too Brother T!
December 18, 2015 -
Next Week, it’s Christmas Day. Finally, the weekend is almost here. I thank God for that.
December 18, 2015 -
Hah-le-loo!
December 18, 2015 -
Amen Sister. Your swag is on a billion. 😉
Goodnight Sister. Once again, you are on point with your views. You’re a great person Friend.
December 18, 2015 -
Night night 😉

Whether we like it or not we can berate, castigate, bully,
try to shame Gilbert all we want to but it won’t make some of the truth he is
saying a lie and y’all know some of what he is saying is the truth but you got
to pile on him because he is bold enough to step on some toes and pull the cover
from over some of y’all face [but that’s your business], HE IS TELLING SOME TRUTH
AND EVERYBODY WHO HAVE FOLLOWED THE WNBA KNOWS HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH.

This fool looks like a kangaroo and he’s obsessing over women being sexually attractive to him?
Why is it always the ugliest men who have the nerve to dictate a woman’s value based on looks??
