The Toronto Raptors are really sorry over a ‘Women’s History Month’ video posted this week that gave props to women. Let us explain.
The Raptors’ social media accounts posted a video Tuesday, posing the question, why do women run the world?
Several Raptors players like Precious Achiuwa, Malachi Flynn, and Scottie Barnes responded on camera with their answers.
“They are the only one that can procreate,” Flynn said.
“They birth everybody,” Achiuwa said.
Scottie Barnes said, “all women are great because they are queens.”
Many online became entirely upset over the nod to women being the only ones that can give birth. For that reason, the team sent out an apology.
“We’re an organization that prides itself on doing the right thing when it comes to inclusion and representation, and we made a mistake [Tuesday],” a Raptors spokesperson relayed on Thursday. “Our sincerest apologies to our players, our staff, and our fans — we’ll work to do better today and every day after.”
