NBA star Anthony Edwards has issued a grovelling apology on Twitter after he was seen using a homophobic slur in a video uploaded to Instagram. Edwards posted the clip to his 1.2 million followers on Saturday.
In the now deleted video, the 21-year-old is seen zooming into a group of people from his car before using the word ‘queer’ to describe them, whilst adding: “Look what the world done came to, bruh.”
Despite being deleted, the clip went viral on Twitter and the Minnesota Timberwolves man received widespread criticism for his offensive comments. On Sunday, Edwards issued his apology via a post on social media
