This topic definitely will bring forth a civil discussion.

Unless you've been completely off the grid in the last month, you know the Zion Williamson situation. The NBA star has been the main topic of discussion on social media, thanks to his dating life. Adult film star Moriah Mills has been putting the New Orleans star on blast through her Twitter account. Teasing a release of a sex tape made by the pair. These unhinged Tweets apparently began after Williamson seemed to part ways with Mills.

The situation with Williamson and Mills isn't the first trending story involving an athlete's love life. Dennis Rodman was on the front page of every paper in the '90s, discussing his personal life. However, now it seems that social media keeps everyone in the know about what an athlete does with his personal life. On Monday, Stephen A. Smith discussed the dating habits of professional athletes on his podcast.

Stephen A. Is Giving The Fans An Opportunity To Answer

Smith claims that men are cut from the same cloth. Meaning that most men approach their dating lifestyle from a visual aspect more than any other. However, Smith also added the opinions of athletes when bringing up the matter. Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas recently appeared on 'The Pat Bev Pod' to talk about the situation with Williamson. Arenas pointed out that part of the issue is an NBA player's lifestyle. The former Washington star explained that most of an NBA player's free time is when a lot of women are at work.

Smith went on to explain that he doesn't agree with the sentiment that Arenas was talking about. However, Smith did go on to say that the women he works with felt that the discussion of an athlete's dating habits brings up a good discussion. Certainly, Zion will not be the last athlete in the middle of a trending romantic story. However, it is hard to imagine why more athletes don't study a firey situation like the one Williamson currently sits in.
