Karl-Anthony Towns went viral after his proposal to Jordyn Woods. The player decided to take his relationship to the next level after five years of dating. While he did go viral for his proposal, some NBA fans took the chance to crack homophobic jokes at him.
Towns and his fiancée took to social media to share images of the proposal. Many NBA fans congratulated the player, but one X account by the name “Hater Report” made a collage of Towns proposing and wrote “Not Gay” on the image.
Following this, a huge number of NBA fans dropped hilarious comments to troll the player. Here are some reactions from X.
“He can be gay and get married,” wrote one fan.

“nah I know a few gay people who got married to the opposite sex and who also have kids just to convince others that they’re straight KAT ain’t fooling nobody,” wrote one fan.
Towns also received a few responses supporting him. While the image was just for trolls, it’s clear that some fans got offended.
