So much for "free speech"
He's probably wishin' he had started a brawl with a drunken fan in the stands.
That would be far more acceptable than his pesky opinion.
Guess he should have gone after those dang Catholics. < sarcasm off >
And a 6 game suspension.
My thoughts exactly. Next they will banish anyone who openly speaks of Christ.
"My thoughts exactly. Next they will banish anyone who openly speaks of Christ."
It's coming. Under the category of hate speech.
He got to say what he said. Nobody stopped him or is stopping him from speaking. He san say whatever he wants and anyone else can say what they want.
But, unless he owns the NBA or Nike or whatever they can tell him to take a hikeand fire him. It's just like it works here. For example, I hate that queer men have anal sex then oral sex with each other. Or, more accurately, I think it's really gross. Now, if the owners of FR don't like that they can ban me. This is their sand box.
When I was younger I met 100's of queer men (I'm straight). Most of them were self-loathing and self-destructive. Being gay or queer or whatever really sucked (no pun). I met several that would not be queer if they could stop. My personal opinion is that they are born queer.
You know that is coming.
BTW - you are now banned from FreeRepublic.

Just curious...what line of work were you in when you were younger?
"My personal opinion is that they are born queer"
You are no more born queer than you are born a serial killer. Or child molester. Or a cigarette smoker. It is a choice they make.
You could use the excuse "I was born this way" to get away with anything you wanted.
I wasn't, I was in high school. My best friend's father became sexually "confused" when I was about 16. It was pretty weird because not only was his dad odd my friends sister was a lesbian. His mom was, simply put, drunk most of the time. And I could not blame her.
Anyway, they were a well off family with a huge house and they had many parties where all the guys at the party were queers. Besides that, my friends father opened up a business in "the Montrose" area of Houston which is queer central in Houston. So my buddy and I were down there a lot. Because of this I met a lot of queer men. From the flaming lisping queens to the leather biker types that were pretty scary. Overall, they were a pathetic lot. My buddy's father let a few of them run the business he started, the robbed him like crazy and he knew it.
Some of the wild drunken parties at my friends house were interesting. Usually, almost all of the guys hit on me or my buddy. We'd just laugh at them or as I did one time I picked one up who grabbed my backside and I threw him in the pool. Remember that I was 16 at the time and these guys were trying like crazy to do "whatever" to me. That's another thing I learned, queers can't keep their hands off young guys.
I got to know several of them pretty well, I didn't really like any of them because they were such a sad lot. One of my favorite things to do at parties was to ask them how they could "stick this in to that then in to that!"?? They didn't like that because they don't want straight people thinking about the sick stuff queers do. They's rather we talk about the lovey-dovey relationship stuff. This is something that the queers and the media have carefully crafted for decades. Just imagine if the TV show "Queer Eye for The Straight Guy" went from being funny to the fags grabbing each other and tongue kissing. Their ratings would tank.
If instead of he hated gays Hardaway said he found queer anal and oral sex to be sickening he'd probably not have much blow-back (maybe a little pun) from the gay community and whatnot. Because that's the kind of things they do not want discussed in public. It's difficult for them to counter such things. They want to keep those kinds of discussions off the radar.
While some might not agree with me I really do think most queer men are born wired that way. I think my friends sister, the lesbian, was too. But I'm not sure about many of her girlfriends though which were the "non butch" types in the relationship. My friends sister hated men. just hated them. But she did come in handy since she always had a stack of Playboys hidden under her bed. Hey, I was 16 at the time:)
Frankly, as far as I'm concerned Hardaway said something I don't find to be a big deal because I think I understand what he meant. He just said it wrong and there will be hell to pay for it.
Just point me to the YouTube video.......
So they were born that way? God made them gay? It is God's fault? I guess now your going to say that because God made them that way then they are not in sin for being that way?
Romans Chapter 1:18-27 answers the question of why people lust after their own gender.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=rom%201:18-27;&version=31;
We all need to 'hate' sin as God hates sin. In Erwin Lutzer's message, "One Minute After You Die", he states that as we pass from this mortal life into the immortal life, we all will finally see sin as God sees sin. This will be for the believer AND the unbeliever. This depraved human shell around our God created spirit has a way of softening the sharp edges of sin. For the unbeliever, every tongue will confess, every knee will bow that Jesus is Lord, and they will be in full agreement of how they have violated His statutes. Their reward of banishment from His presence will be just and they will know it.
Oddly, that was my first reaction.
I can't speak for God and would not attempt to. All I can tell you is the truth about what I saw.
