Marcus Morris has upset thousands, if not millions of women following his comments after a game on Wednesday night that ended in controversy.
Knicks forward Marcus Morris made some misogynistic comments towards Jae Crowder, saying the Grizzlies forward had “female tendencies.”
“I think dude is just, he plays the game a different way. A lot of female tendencies on the court. Flopping, throwing his head back the entire game. It’s a man’s game and you just get tired of it at the end of the day… His game is soft. He’s soft. That’s how he carries [himself]. It’s just very woman-like.”
He must’ve knew he screwed up, because he would soon take to Twitter and apologize for his words.
“I apologize if I offended [with] my comments in any way,’’ Morris wrote. “I truly respect woman in every aspect in life. Wasn’t raised like that. I’m a big fan of yours. And everything you have done for the WNBA and basketball in general.”
“I was wrong to even use those terms and I’m very sorry to all Women for my comments,” Morris added. “Just to be clear I wasn’t at any point trying to take anything away women’s basketball. Your great at this game and even more amazing off the court. My apologies.”
On Thursday, WNBA star Diana Taurasi responded to Morris’ distasteful choice of words.

Las Vegas superstar Liz Cambage was also upset about those comments, so she jumped on Twitter to fire back at him.
“Excuse me @MookMorris2?,” she wrote, before responding to Morris’ attempted Twitter apology. “What about you saying ‘its a mans game’ or ‘woman like.’”
Cambage then wrote “FEMALE TENDENCIES WINS GAMES THOUGH.”
This entire thing capped off an ugly ending with the Knicks-Grizzlies game where a brawl almost broke out between the teams in the 4th quarter.
