Gilbert Arenas’ sexist WNBA Instagram post is garbage

On Tuesday, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas posted a video on his Instagram of two lingerie-clad women playing basketball. It was followed by a sexist rant about how the WNBA should’ve been that video instead of what it is today, and he especially called out Skylar Diggins.

You can find that Instagram post elsewhere on the internet. We won’t bother sharing it here. We stand by the WNBA’s statement, which called Arenas’ post “repugnant, disrespectful and flat-out wrong.”

Instead of dwelling more on Arenas’ misguided rant, we’ll share some things Arenas has missed by not watching the WNBA in its current form.

Have you seen Diggins’ highlight reel? You should. She’s pretty awesome at basketball:

The Chicago Sky’s Elena Delle Donne had a hell of a season this year, where she achieved the third-best player efficiency rating in WNBA history:

And when the Minnesota Lynx won their third WNBA title this year, they popped bottles just like anyone would in any other sport, except Prince was there:

So, to reiterate: the WNBA is just fine without your basketball fantasy, Gilbert Arenas. You can keep that Instagram video you posted to yourself, man.
