NBA dismissed photographer who offensively posted Kamala Harris meme


The photographer, Bill Baptist, shared last week an image of a mock logo for the Democratic presidential card that says “Joe and the Hoe,” an apparent reference to Joe Biden and Harris, his running mate.

The mother was spotted by former WNBA Hall of Famer Sheryl Swoopes, who shared a screenshot of his post on her Facebook page and shared before Baptist’s dismissal.

“It’s amazing how people will smile in your face, but eventually they will show their true colors. NBA and Houston Rockets he has to GO !!! So unfair,” she wrote.

An NBA spokesman gave a brief statement to CNN in response: “The photographer is an independent contractor and his services are no longer used in Orlando.”

Baptist has issued an apology, reported CNN affiliate KPRC. In it, he said he had deleted the post.

“I deeply regret that I posted on my Facebook page a sentence I saw from others and copied as a sample of the reactions of some people to Biden’s selection of Senator Harris as his choice for VP,” he said.

“The expression I post does not reflect my personal views at all. I should not have been so indecent to post the statements of others. I entrust a prosecution to all those who have been rightly offended and I have the post. from my FB page. It was a terrible mistake on my part. “
