How is that homophobic?
Did you even watch the video?
That's inappropriate behaviour.
Why don't you explain what things one shouldn't do to another man.

I don't care what social media does, but your comment seems clearly homophobic. By saying "there are some things you don't do to another man", your clear implication is that the genders of the people involved are relevant in whether it was appropriate, and that the fact that both are men is what makes it inappropriate.
I agree that video was inappropriate, but I very much do not agree that the conduct is something than any of us are in a position to criticize or judge. Unless the allegation is that it was not consensual, then who the actual **** cares what Jalen Green did when he was in high school?

Again watch the video.
If that seems like normal behavior to you then by all means accept it. To me that was inappropriate behavior. There are some things you just don't do. You don't play around like that point blank.

If instead there was a video of him having sex with his girlfriend, would that make it better or worse in your view?

I did worse in high school. Video actually made me giggle a little reminiscing.
I'm also a little immature, and I'm okay with that.

My point wasn't about the fact it was 2 dudes. It was his behavior to the dude. That was not something to joke about.
Can you quit calling me a homophobic now?

Because that behavior is one of them. It wasn't even soft strokes he was hard stroking him in a forceful manner.
Now imagine if he did that without his consent. Is that still okay?

Lol I mean no if it's without his consent and the guy was very upset by it it's not okay, but they both laughed at it.
You saying it wasn't even soft strokes but hard strokes made me giggle though. Lol.

Re: Off Topic
Without context, hard to pass any type of judgement on that vid. Who knows what conversations led to that moment.
I for one do not care. Looked like dudes just clowing around.

Re: Off Topic
Here's an interesting idea for a new sport... let's take our tennis rackets and keep the covers on the rackets, grab the oldest, flatest tennis balls we can find, go out to the tennis courts and only use half of the Court.
We can call it pickleball. Old people will love it.
