The Timberwolves youngster, Edwards was fined $40,000 and the Denver Nuggets player thought it was a good idea to comment on the NBA’s action with three thumbs down emojis criticizing the decision by the organization. While some of the fans believe the player was unhappy with how lenient the fine was, many fans are giving Gordon flak for encouraging bigotry against the LGBTQ community.

Fans have not received the tweet very well and are brutally criticizing the Nuggets veterans for his actions.
