NBA fires photographer that posted offensive meme about Kamala Harris
By Kaelan Deese - 08/14/20 04:29 PM EDT

An NBA photographer was fired following an offensive meme he posted this week on social media referencing Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), former Vice President Joe Biden's selected 2020 presidential campaign running mate.

The now-terminated photographer, Bill Baptist, worked with the Houston Rickets for over 30 years, USA Today reported.

An anonymous source familiar with the matter told USA Today that Baptist had been removed from the NBA bubble at Disney property in Orlando, Fla.


WNBA Hall of Fame recipient Sheryl Swoopes chimed in on Facebook about Baptist's termination, adding that he had covered photos for the Comets, as well.

"It's amazing how people will smile in your face but eventually their true colors will show. @NBA and Houston Rockets he needs to GO!!! So disrespectful. Bill Baptiste (sic) shame on You!!!"

According to a local NBC affiliate KPRC 2, Baptist posted an image that read "Joe and the Hoe."

   We are the Houston Rockets, not the Houston Rickets.  Our General Manager, Daryl Morey, caught he11 last Oct.  for tweeting "Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong" (since deleted) setting off a Firestorm in the heavily Chinese influenced NBA.



   

               See ya in the next round, Lebron.

Seems the NHL has mostly steered clear of the BLM bullshit.

One last sports to watch.  Go Blues.

   NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver kept this BLM $hit out of his 95% Black League till 4 months ago, he finally succumbed, the CCP Virus had already shut him down. 
   I hope this crap dies down before it hits the NHL or Golf.   @catfish1957

It's too late.  Tiddly Winks are all about Black Lives now.

Give it up.  Sports is dead.  Killed by leftism.  It won't get better until somebody grows some balls, and I just don't see it.
