This past weekend an imgur post of past tweets from NBA players hit the internet, causing a stir as many of the submissions were of risqué or questionable nature. The tweets of Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu reached another level due to their bald anti-gay statements. Though the tweets were posted 5-6 years ago, when Aminu would have been 19-20 years old, they had not been deleted from his account at the time of the original post. Though they have since been removed, neither Aminu nor the Trail Blazers have made public comment on the matter.
