It just isn’t politically correct and it isn’t the way the world should be, but it is how the world is. In an ideal world, people would appreciate people just on their merits of their skill, but I’d also like cops to stop shooting unarmed people and covering it up. The world is not ideal and the less a woman has on, the more likely men will watch. The more attractive the female athlete, the more opportunities she will receive. Hopefully, those men still respect those women and their bodies, but men aren’t watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the designs.
That is why professional teams have cheerleaders and dancers, it isn’t because men admire the routines. There is a reason Ronda Rousey gets movies roles and Skylar Diggins with Roc Nation. Yes, they are extremely talented athletes, but it doesn’t hurt that they are attractive.
Gilbert can say these things, because he isn’t a part of the NBA, made a ton of money and has a lot of time on his hands. Some of it is ignorant, sexist and homophobic, but similar to Donald Trump’s comments, the reason Trump doesn’t lose any momentum is because people feel the same way Trump does, no matter how horrible it is.
It is just Gilbert being Gilbert, nothing to really get that upset about, it isn’t that serious. You want to prove him wrong, show up at more WNBA games.
