Regardless of his intent, Gordon’s reaction to Edwards’ fine reinforces anti-LGBTQIA language

For some reason, Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has inserted himself into the discussion surrounding Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards’ homophobic remarks during an Instagram video he posted.

After Edwards’ anti-LGBTQIA rhetoric in the video, he tweeted an apology and was fined $40,000 for using offensive and derogatory language on social media the NBA announced on Tuesday. Following the press release of Edward’s fine, Gordon tweeted three ‘thumbs down’ emojis before deleting the tweet soon after.

It is hard to takeaway anything meaningful from Gordon’s reaction on twitter to the circumstance and fine.
