Retired baseball player Aubrey Huff took a moment out of his Sunday to call out LeBron James' sartorial choices and connected his personal meaningless disapproval with James' fashion choices to the superstar's belief in racial equality.
“Young men this is not how a man is supposed to dress. Carrying a purse is not cool. I suppose dressing like this makes it easier to kneel. #emasculated,” Huff wrote with a diptych showing James' pregame fits ahead of Game 1 the 2018 Finals and a recent game in the Orlando bubble.

Not only is Huff's criticism of LeBron James deeply antiquated, sexist, and nonsensical, it's also ironic, as folks on Twitter pointed out that Huff boasted about wearing his wife's underwear for the final stretch of the 2010 season while playing for the San Francisco Giants. Huff claimed the thong would power his team to the World Series, which improbably happened. The underwear even became known as “The Rally Thong” during the team's improbable run.
Wait, Aubrey Huff was literary wearing his wife’s red thong under his baseball uniform but wants to clown LeBron James for his “feminine” fashion choices? Chile, bye pic.twitter.com/0ztYGoTUWT

In February, the Giants confirmed Huff would not be invited due to the pattern of offensive comments he's made on social media.
In November of 2019, Huff tweeted a picture of himself holding up a shooting target with bullet holes, and implied he was teaching his kids to use a gun in the “unlikely event” that Bernie Sanders won the presidential election.
Suffice to say, James has no need to even react to this critique.
