Coronavirus Update: Heat’s Udonis Haslem Rips Spring Breakers In Heartfelt Letter
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Heat star Udonis Haslem is ripping spring breakers who crowded South Beach amid the coronavirus outbreak.
In a letter to the Players’ Tribune, the 39-year-old Haslem says those people don’t know the poor Miami in which he grew up.
“These kids fly down to places like South Beach for a couple of days to party, and they think that’s Miami,” Haslem stated. “But they’ve never seen the real Miami. They’ve never been to Liberty City. They’ve never seen the side of this city that’s living check to check. The side of this city that’s surviving meal to meal.”
He says people living in that Miami stand to suffer even more during this coronavirus crisis.
