    I agree that this was more sexist than racist. He'd probably call Nancy Pelosi the same thing.

    How is it sexist? Prostitution is an age old profession that makes an honest day's living, unlike some other professions, politicians for example. Also a hoe is not gender specific, have you seen Magic Mike? Maybe you are the sexist one. Lastly are we even sure he meant it literally? Maybe he was saying it metaphorically, like whoring herself out to far left socialist ideology, etc.

    It was racist and sexist.

    Sorry you are so butthurt, and I doubt you know what Facism actually means - but I am glad you are part of Antifa!

    What part of it was racist? Or is any insult racism towards particular races to you?

    I'm not the one that got fired so nothing to be butt hurt over. Then again you aren't the one that got fired either so no reason to care. Better toe the company line though.

    I doubt you know what antifa is.

    Would be equally sexist (or not sexist), only difference is reaction from the NBA would be we don't care instead. He really should have called Ivanka a w****, then he can be celebrated as a hero.

    10000% sexist. But racist? Not everything in life has to be about race.

    **** that guy. Got what he deserved. Speaking of.. Klay Thompson got what he deserved too for dangerously stepping under Harden over and over while refs ignored the illegal and morally corrupt style of defense. I'm just glad people get served for **** posting from time to time.

    Why do these old geysers get so excited when they are on social media?

    He could as well have been fired for being stupid.

    It's social media. I can see folks using twitter for news. But people just say whatever they want on Twitter and Facebook. With their real name to an account no less.

    Too easy to put one's foot in one's mouth. If he knew he was losing his job, he'd never post it. There was a time where bigots and sexists stayed in the closet. Nation's divisive, the extreme right feels emboldened, he forgot he works for a progress organization like the NBA. People have been fired for less.

    Instead navigating the lines could or couldn't be canceled, delete facebook, value your privacy, it's is not worth losing a job.
