Former NBA star Nick Young weighed in on the awful disparity between the women’s and men’s teams in Indianapolis at their respective NCAA tournaments, with athletes showing the stark differences between weight rooms and food offerings on social media.
Per multiple tweets screengrabbing from an ESPN Instagram post, his @swaggyp1 account replied, “Man y’all not bringing in the big bucks y’all the JV team and it’s cool.”
That’s, of course, horribly sexist and very, very wrong.
Young then appeared to address the comments on his Twitter account, claiming he was hacked and that “I love women I would never !”
Here’s what was said:

The comment appears to have been deleted when we went through the post. Ugh, all around.
