Sekou Doumbouya, drafted 15th overall by the Detroit Pistons, was the youngest player in the 2019 NBA Draft. But the 18-year-old should be forced to answer for a comment he made when he was just 14 years old.
As reported by Outsports, Doumbouya was one of many potential draft picks with a social media history of using anti-gay and homophobic language.
In a since-deleted tweet, Doumbouya allegedly wrote, “unfollow me you little faggot.” Outsports has a screenshot of the tweet and credits an LGBTQ French-speaking athlete for the translation.
So, yes, 14-year-olds say insanely dumb things.
