Stoudemire said that he was joking, however his explanation was not enough, as John Amaechi who came out as a homosexual in 2007, stated.
The star of Hapoel Jerusalem issued the following apology today: “I want to apologize for my offensive comments against the LGBT community. These remarks were taken from a larger interview where a reporter was asking me hypothetical questions, and all my answers had a comedic undertone. The answers I gave were meant to be taken as jokes & I am deeply sorry for offending anyone. I am open to creating a dialogue to assist the fight the LGBT community encounters daily and will continue focus on playing basketball”
