NBA lets go photographer who posted offensive Kamala Harris meme

A photographer working in the NBA bubble at Disney World was let go by the league after he posted an offensive meme about Kamala Harris, the newly announced Democratic candidate for vice president.
Bill Baptist is a freelance photographer from Houston who has covered the Houston Rockets for a number of years and was in the bubble as an independent contractor. The meme he posted on Facebook saw a wider audience when it was shared by former Houston Comets superstar Sheryl Swoopes.
Baptist posted a meme that included Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s official 2020 campaign logo. But instead of “Joe 2020” in the blue circle, it reads “Jo and the Ho.” He shared the photo on Facebook without comment.
quote:
Baptist shared a statement with KPRC 2 saying the post “does not reflect my personal views at all.”
“I deeply regret posting on my facebook page a phrase that I saw and copied from others as a sample of some people’s reactions to Biden’s selection of Senator Harris as his choice for VP. The phrase I posted does not reflect my personal views at all. I should not have been so insensitive to post the statements by others. I sincerely apologize to all of those who have rightfully been offended and I have taken the post down from my FB page. It was a horrible mistake on my part.”

This Facebook post is going to change everything! Who knows what the outcome of the election will be now?

joe and the hoe?
i am totally against getting fired or cancelled for posting funny shite, but this is not that simply because it's the least funny shite imaginable. im not even close to "offended" by the word hoe, but lmao at this dude thinking that "meme" is worth a post. just simply the least funny thing ive seen in a long time.

You can’t call someone a ho from your personal account, and then be upset if you get fired because of it. Doesn’t matter what the political leaning is.

yeah, anything that would get a lot of upvotes and a laugh on the poliboard will probably be unfunny and get you fired in the real world

Maybe you don't get it? See, Kamala Harris is a woman, so he was implying that she's easy to have sex with.

because of the implication

Never heard of Bill Baptist and have never seen this meme before. Good job NBA.

Facebook memes are the worst.

Had he done a meme with Donald Trump, like “Donald Dump”, it would have been ok.

Should've been smart enough to think of that then he wouldn't have gotten himself kicked out the bubble.

I’m fully behind(and have always thought this way) condemning men for judging women who can get arse.
It’s terrible. Dating the girl in HS who matured earlier than the guys shouldn’t be embarrassing.
Women shouldn’t be subject to a different code of conduct when it comes to sex. Hell, they’re span of desirability is half of ours. Intelligent women shouldn’t be cursed because they know their worth.
But, discussing how a politician gained her power should be fair game. The same as it should be fair game to discuss how some rich frickhead established his/hers.

Well of course, the meme is her history of her sleeping her way to the top.
That's a legit political talk protected speech ala grab her by the pussy by Trump...who got fired over those memes? But it's not the government firing him, so he has to live with it.
In this country, awful behavior or questionable behavior is only tolerated (often celebrated) on one side of the aisle.
