Miami Heat Legend Dwyane Wade Speaks On Anthony Edwards' Anti-Gay Comments
Former Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade recently spoke on the anti-gay comments made by Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards.
While speaking to The Wrap, Wade said having a transgender child has helped him better understand the gay community.
“We all have to be able to be … I don’t know, exposed and we all have to have more experiences in life," Wade said. "There’s a lot of things I said I wouldn’t do, a lot of things I didn’t understand until I got an opportunity to be exposed to it. Then I got a chance to really see what it is and not just take what was told to me while I was growing up.”
Edwards has since apologized for the comments he made earlier this month on social media. The league fined him $40,000.
“What I said was immature, hurtful, and disrespectful, and I’m incredibly sorry. It’s unacceptable for me or anyone to use that language in such a hurtful way,” Edwards tweeted last week. “There’s no excuse for it, at all. I was raised better than that!”
