Northeast Philly state Sen. Jimmy Dillon denies posting racist and homophobic tweets to his basketball business account
“As a coach, I work with kids to teach them how to play basketball and learn skills both on and off the court. I’m not a big social media guy,” Dillon said in a statement. “If a basketball player who works with Hoops 24-7 posted something like this more than a decade ago, it’s the first I’ve heard about it, and it doesn’t reflect my values.”
“Let’s be clear, this was not a teenager making a mistake or a single comment taken out of context. This was a grown man in his 30s casually using the N-word and making disgusting jokes repeatedly on his social media,” said Cody Harbaugh, the executive director of the SRCC. “We can only wonder what Jimmy Dillon is saying behind closed doors if this is the kind of language he’ll post publicly for the world to see.
