I hope he's prepared for the John Rocker-ing he's gonna receive from all those enlightened sports reporters now.....
But I thought Tim was the master of the crossover!
Will the Dixie Chicks come stick up for his First Amendment rights? :)
He clearly doesn't mean hate in the "I'm going to harm you" sort of way. He doesn't like the practice and wants nothing to do with those who do. I wouldn't call that hate. Too bad he used that word.
You know, I have no opinion on this whatsoever, but I really want to watch it unfold. I really do.
Bigoted? maybe. Homophobic? Nope, homophobe is one who fears homosexuals, not one who simply doesn't like them. I tend to doubt that Hardaway fears many men.
Dan LeBatard, from what little I have heard of him, is a real left wing ass. It would have been fun to hear how he dealt with this.
I don't watch or pay attention to major league streetball anymore, who is John Amaechi?
Le Batard the Blow Hard! I once heard Le Batard on Tony Kornheiser's show complaining that not enough media types could speak to the Manny Ramirez-es and other Hispanic players in their native Spanish and that this was a sympton of a larger problem here in the United States. Per Le Retard it was one of the reasons contributing to September 11th!
I'm not kidding!
Uh oh. Tim's in hot water now. Very politically incorrect.
His brother, Penny Hardaway, is strongly suspected of being gay.
The media went fishing and hooked one. It is those clown's favorite game and it's called gotcha. The media does not have the brains or the will to report on stories like most government entities are bankrupt or how chain illegal immigration will impact the country. They are looking for hate criminals as if hate is a crime. The PC police strike again. Tim must learn that in this politically correct world, the media only gives passes to hate speech when it targets Christians and Jews.
The locker-room issue is salient here.
We have separate mens and womens locker rooms so that people in a state of undress are not the subject of unwanted sexual attention and sexual appraisal. Sharing a locker-room with someone who finds you sexually interesting, but in whom you have no interest, is odious. Add this, even in the abstract, to a firmly held moral conviction that homoeroticism is wrong, and it is easy to see how someone might lapse over into hatred.
Good for someone saying it the way it is. Hope he's ready for the heat he's bout to get.

Being gay is so Normalphobic..
I fould that the gays in my neighborhood come in all kinds like everyone else. Some suppport the war and want the border closed, some gays I have spoke to don't believe in gay marriage . Some are or were in the military.
The Homophiles will soon be up in arms. I hope this guy gets in their face and doesn't back down.
There is no such thing as a homophobe....merely a healthy individual disgusted by deviants.
Go Warriors!
He is on live local news (Channel 7, Fox affiliat) right now saying that he is sorry for what he said. I have no link for this, but he's live on the phone apologizing.
