Chinese women have nice bodies - Ex-NBA star defends lewd photos
PandaGuides
Former National Basketball Association point guard Ty Lawson said he meant "no disrespect" after lewd social media posts about Chinese women stirred an outcry and saw him axed by Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) outfit Fujian Sturgeons.
The Sturgeons said they will not renew his deal for the upcoming CBA season, which starts next month, over "inappropriate remarks", while it has also been reported that the 32-year-old has also received a lifetime ban from playing in the Chinese league.
Lawson, a former Denver Nuggets star who has played three seasons in the CBA, posted the offending messages on Instagram during a night out.
Widely circulated screen grabs show Lawson in a compromising position with a semi-clad woman, accompanied by sexually suggestive captions, including "Chinese woman got cakes on the low… Might have to change up my stance soon lol".
The posts "were not in line with the club's long-held social responsibility and core values", the Sturgeons said in a statement over the weekend.
Lawson's contract had ended with the previous CBA season and would not be renewed it in light of his posts, the team added.
The player has since taken to Instagram to deny his comments were r****t or sexist, as claimed by outraged Chinese social media users, while adding he was dancing with a woman at a club rather than a strip joint as reported.
People "told me not to address this... but I got to speak up for myself", Lawson said. "I'm the probably least r****t person you've met in your life," he added. "I meant no disrespect... everybody (who) knows me in China knows I'm not that person."
Earlier the Sturgeons promised to "strengthen education for players in terms of thought quality", describing the incident as "a wake-up call for the club".
State media fanned the online outrage, accusing Lawson of "insulting" Chinese women.
Lawson signed with the Sturgeons in September 2019, after two seasons with another Chinese team, the Shandong Golden Stars.
He had previously caused outrage after a video showing him involved in an altercation in a Shanghai Starbucks went v***l in August.

I just think he should have left that out. Why turn half the population against him? Btw, that additional bit helped he came off as a boar.
