Dwight Howard comes out in the worst possible way

unfortunately, dwight howard It’s not because of his performance on the track that he’s still in the news. 2020 NBA Champion with the Lakers, 8-time All-Star selection, 3-time Defender of the Year, 2-time NBA Top Blocker…Awards and recognition for the NBA’s last great traditional center They vary widely. But it may be overshadowed by issues outside of sports.

“Superman” Howard has long since lost his mantle, but he is in serious danger of being remembered more for his adventures off the basketball court than for his great days as a player. Here are his latest messes, the worst of them: She was reported for sexual abuse by another man.

These events happened in 2021, but came to light recently as Howard declared a few days ago that the reported events actually happened…but they were consensual . No sexual abuse or rape. stephen harper The plaintiff’s name alleges that Howard startled another man dressed as a woman, who responded to the name Kitty (something like a kitten), and together they abused the plaintiff. Howard version? He accepts that everything that happened was consensual and that what he does in the bedroom is his own thing, so he has different possibilities, but certainly not a straight man. Not.

Fine line between private and public

Hours after the charges against Howard were revealed, Howard uploaded a video to the Internet attacking all people who interfere in his private life. “Everybody could stop fooling around and stop worrying about shit like this. They worry about who people spend their time with. What I do in the bedroom is what I do.” It’s a job…it’s not for everyone and not everyone needs to know it.”.

Dwight is here. Everyone has the right to protect their privacy and keep their actions secret within it. However, what is done in private life becomes public when a crime or complaint is involved.

“The goal is mine.” That’s what our protagonist said…and rightly so. no one expressed an opinion when it related to transgender woman or for the fact that you have Homosexuality is ruled out as he has 5 children with 5 different women. Come on, Dwight. But men can’t claim to be victims of sexual abuse and expect no response.

In this situation, what is private is no longer private. But if that’s the most likely reason NBA teams don’t count on you, then what’s private stops being private. Or is there no question that the NBA franchise knew full well that this incident was about to break out?

missed opportunity

The only thing that’s clear about this whole issue is that Dwight Howard has become part of the LGBT community when he didn’t want to, and in the worst possible way. Jason Collins He came out as gay while still an active player, making history history in a still homophobic American (and Western) society. It was at the end of the 2012-13 season, so it took 10 years to find the second queer player in the NBA, but this was a revelation that happened to clear up complaints. There is nothing of value when it comes to fighting for the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals (like Dwight Howard), and transsexuals.
