In what might be one of the most awkward tweets ever, Riddick Bowe congratulated Washington Capitals captain and superstar Alexander Ovechkin on coming out of the closet. Only one issue, Ovechkin’s not in the closet and didn’t come out of it even if he was. Ovechkin is currently engaged to tennis player Maria Kirilenko.

Sorry @ovi8 but whether u gay or not gay I still like you partner but you aint a @MapleLeafs so I can only have limited love for u. Bowe
