Former Champion Edwardz's discriminatory speech caused a hot upper body, not only punished by the alliance, but also lost millions of advertising fees

Young people should be cautious, especially public figures with certain influence, otherwise it will cause bad impact and eventually endanger themselves. According to the US media report on September 13, Beijing time, the 2020NBA draft champion Anthony Edwardz was causing trouble. His views and words on social media on social media have caused great controversy. The fines of the Timberwolves Club and punishment for the suspension.

The controversial speech on social media was gay. He used discriminatory languages ​​to comment on a suspected homosexual video, and the result immediately attracted a lot of criticism, protest and abuse. The young man realized that he had done something wrong and quickly deleted the relevant content, but was still too late. Subsequently, Edwood apologized in social media: "I feel very sorry for this! What I say is too immature, it hurts and disrespects others. Whether it is me or others, who says that say that is that saying that It's unacceptable. Sorry, I must do better. "

The Timberwolves Club also issued a statement: "We are disappointed with Anthony Edwardz's words and deeds published on social media! The Timberwolves have always promised to be an inclusive team, and we are sorry for the impact caused by the offense. "

According to the Timberwolves and the team reporter Chris, Edwardz may face the discipline of the league for his speech, either a suspension or a fine, and the punishment must not be avoided. According to the views of Chinese fans, how many problems can Edwardz with normal orientation make such remarks? But things are by no means so simple. In the United States, this will offend a considerable part of the group, and the problem is very serious. As a star and a public figure, you still have to send less such sensitive comments. Regarding problems such as homosexuality and racial discrimination, it is best to keep your mouthful. This time, the 21 -year -old star should be given.

It's really not that simple. Now even a famous beverage brand he endorsed has been protested and resisted, which will greatly reduce Edward's off -market value, which may cause him to lose millions of dollars of advertising fees.

Edwardz is not the first American basketball player to be punished for making similar remarks. As early as 2015, Latsu Rondo was punished by a gay referee Kennedy in a game. Rondo was angry, saying that the latter was "damn homosexuality!" The league banned a game and apologized. Durant was fined $ 50,000 for similar remarks in 2021. Durant used vulgar language to abuse well -known American actor Michael Lap Port in vulgar language. The two of them were fierce, and Durant used insulting vocabulary many times, and some of them also involved hate homosexual and discriminatory women.

According to statistics, in the last season, Edwardz played a total of 72 regular season for the Timberwolves, averaging 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists in 34.3 minutes per game, and the shooting rate was 44.1 %. The playoffs have averaged 25.2 points per game. These data are pretty good. Now Edwardz is about to usher in the third season of his career. I hope that this speech will not affect him too much, and don't let the fans down in the new season.
