Former NBA player Etan Thomas has called out a woman he says denied him a seat next to her on a crowded train, only to offer it up to another passenger.
He wrote in a Friday Facebook post that he asked a woman if he could sit next to her on a crsowded train but was told the seat was taken. Thomas, who is black, said a white man inquired about the seat less than two minutes later and the woman obliged.
Thomas said he confronted the woman and took a picture, which he later posted to Facebook. He said she called the conductor, who Thomas said was a fan of his.
Thomas didn’t say where the incident took place or what train line he was on.
The 38-year-old Thomas played for Washington, Oklahoma City and Atlanta in a nine-year NBA career that ended following the 2011 season.
Shout out to the lady who didn’t want me to sit next to her on the train but quickly moved her stuff when he asked
