Shots were fired after Amare Stoudemire’s homophobic comments during an interview where he was asked he’d have a problem with a gay teammate.
John Amaechi, former basketball player with experience in both the NBA and Europe, released a rather angry statement as a response to Amare’s remarks, calling the Hapoel Jerusalem center a “braying jackass”, who is “making a desperate grab for relevance amongst a constituency destined for extinction.”
Amaechi came out as a homosexual in 2007, becoming the first NBA who publicly talked about being gay.
