Ja Morant apologized on Twitter for reposting an image on social media with a profanity directed at police officers on the back of his jersey, writing that it "didn't clearly and accurately convey what I wanted to share."

On Sunday, the Memphis Grizzlies rookie point guard reposted an image that had the word "F---" and the number 12 displayed on the back of his jersey. Morant's jersey number is 12, but "F--- 12" is an anti-police slang term.

Smimilar to probably everyone on here, I have never heard of this fella who plays with balls; however, remember this the next time someone wants to pay hundreds of dollars to see someone of his intelligence make millions for shooting free throws and bouncing a ball.

“and a few are family.” Actual family or um distant cousins?

Also, as far as”My post was intended to focus on the bad cops who get away with the murder of unarmed Black men and women,” how many black women are murdered by police, Ja?

Compare that to blacks killing blacks! If you can count that high.

Well, words mean things, so, idiot, you conveyed exactly what you meant to convey.

Not too sure about his politics, but he is one helluva good basketball player. Think of a John Wall who can shoot.

I think I saw “Ja Morant” on Star Trek.

#8. Another “sports person” with a PhD (Phony Degree).

Somewhere a basketball court is missing its “hoop, netting and ball sinker”.

Don’t tell me lemme guess “I said some things that were hurtful” “I only wanted to raise awareness of a serious problem “ “I should’ve chosen my words more carefully” or my personal favorite “ THIS ISN’T WHO I AM!” These lameass disingenuous apologies are getting old.
