Gilbert Arenas made some ridiculously dumb comments about the WNBA on his Instagram page this week, and there is sure to be backlash. Some of it has already come in the form of a few tweets from women’s basketball star Swin Cash.
Cash, a New York Liberty forward who won two national championships at UConn, believes Arenas is just looking for attention and people are giving him what he wants.
People keep sending me this Gilbert arenas post, but I don't care! He obviously needs a hug& attention so y'all give it to him!

If you haven’t seen what Arenas said and you’re curious, you can read his comments here. Gil essentially wants the WNBA to consist of sex symbols who run around shooting hoops in their underwear.
What Arenas said was incredibly offensive, but Cash is right. He loves creating a stir on social media and is getting exactly what he wants.
