Colton Underwood Slams Knicks Player's Sexist Post-Game Comments

Taking aim! Colton Underwood threw some serious shade at Marcus Morris after the New York Knicks player’s controversial post-game comments about Memphis Grizzlies star Jae Crowder.

Most Memorable Bachelor Nation Moments of the 2010s

After losing 127-106 on their home court at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, January 29, the Knicks forward, 30, criticized Crowder, 29, for his “woman-like” style of play. A fight between Knicks and Grizzlies players erupted toward the end of the game, and Crowder landed on the ground in dramatic fashion.

“He play the game a different way, he’s got a lot of female tendencies on the court. He’s flopping and throwing his head back the entire game,” Morris said in a post-game interview, according to SportsCenter. “It’s a man’s game and you just get tired of it … He’s just unprofessional, man. He’s soft, his game is soft. He’s very woman-like.”

The NBA star took heat on social media the morning after the game, and Underwood, 28, was among thousands who called for Morris to apologize for his sexist remarks.

“Marcus, I know plenty of women with ‘female tendencies’ that are 1000x tougher than you,” the Bachelor alum wrote in a now-deleted tweet on Thursday, January 30.

Several Twitter users noted the stark juxtaposition between Morris’ comments and the viral video of sports reporter Elle Duncan praising the late Kobe Bryant for his love of being a “girl dad.” Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, died on Sunday, January 26, after a tragic helicopter crash but shared a passion for basketball that inspired the former Los Angeles Lakers star to be a vocal supporter of the women’s game.

“He said, ‘Just be grateful that you’ve been given that gift because girls are amazing,'” Duncan recalled, adding that the NBA star joked that he “would have five more girls” if he could.

Morris has since apologized for his reckless and regressive remarks, noting on Twitter that his mom raised him to be a better man than what was on display in this post-game interview.

“I apologize for using the term ‘female tendencies’ I have the upmost [sic] respect for women and everything they mean to us,” he tweeted. “It was a Heat of the moment response and I never intended for any Women to feel as though in any way I’m disrespecting them.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
