.Raptors have issued an apology after backlash to video marking WomensHistoryMonth
The Toronto Raptors have issued an apology after a video meant to honour Women’s History Month was hit with backlash.
The video was clearly well-intentioned, with three team members — Scottie Barnes, Malachi Flynn and Precious Achiuwa — attempting to extol the virtues of women, one at a time, as they each answer the question, “Beyoncé said girls run the world. Why do you think that’s true?”Two of the responses, however, raised eyebrows: Flynn’s statement, “They are the only ones that can procreate,” and Achiuwa’s “They birth everybody.
Flynn and Achiuwa’s statements were slammed on social media, with numerous Twitter users lambasting the video as “tone deaf.”
