This is not a first amendment issue.
Exactly, it is merely a problem of those who disagree with speaker, demonstrating their lack of tolerance for diverse viewpoints, that is viewpoints and opinions that are different than their own.

Did you hear that? The big bang? The one that marked the death of the First Amendment?
The First Amendment applies to the government. Last I checked, the NBA doesn't govern us.

Tim Hardaway should start "Homophobic Clubs of America". He could have a lifetime career.

Yes, and they don't get any more sanctimonious than the sports media. Of all media, they are generally seem to be the least qualified, least relevant, and most moralistic (and probably the least athletic, by no coincidence).
To: John W
Exactly. Speech today thats politically incorrect is hate speech tomorrow.

I would have liked to see a bunch of players come out and agree with him and force the hand of the PC crowd. That would be popcorn worthy.

``. . . Let's just say I'm very disappointed that if someone in this day and age has these kinds of feelings, they're not intelligent enough to keep them to themselves."
Funny, use to be that queers kept their deviant behavior to themselves. Now those of us who disapprove of this abominable behavior are the ones who aren't "intelligent enough to keep them to themselves"?

Remind me to write an article on the compulsive reading of news.
The theme will be that most neuroses can be traced to the unhealthy habit of wallowing in the troubles of five billion strangers.

Just like the Dixie Chicks had a right to diss the Prez on foreign soil and we had the right to boycott them over here. If I said what Hardaway said at my workplace I know I'd get rebuked.

Did you hear that? The big bang? The one that marked the death of the First Amendment? In the interest of deflating the hyberbole balloon just a little, let me remind you that the first five words of the First Amendment are "Congress shall make no law" and not "NBA shall make no policy".
