This is an interview he did on the Dan Le Batard radio show:

The question about a gay teammate comes up about two thirds of the way into the interview.

Tim Hardaway released a statement, I just saw this on the local news:

"There are more important things to worry about than my comments. We should be concerned about President Bush and all the people dying in Iraq."

Good for Tim.

If we are tolerant of homosexuals, we need to be tolerant of homophobics. It is not a choice.

I am curious as to what Harold Minor has to say.

That's sad, shows where we're at. Most NBA players are dumb as fuck though, so it shouldn't be too much of surprise.

I just heard on ESPN that he called a local news station here in Miami to say his apology through them.

When you actually hear his original comments, I don't see how you can consider any type of meaningful.

Rosie's response should be good comedy

yes he should be able to say it
yes he should get bashed in the media for being intolerant
no it wasn't a smart business move, yes his "apology" was half-assed and fake
he wouldn't really care if it was a superstar on his team that was gay

we need to be tolerant of homophobics. It is not a choice.

no we don't, the only thing about this we need to tolerate is his ability to say it, we shouldn't be tolerant of racists either, and being homophobic is a choice

Tim just fucked up his NBA appearance $. They pulled him from all All-Star activities and that half-ass apology isn't doing much good either.

injured Philadelphia Sixers forward Shavlik Randolph acknowledged it's a new situation.

"As long as you don't bring your gayness on me I'm fine," Randolph said. "As far as business-wise, I'm sure I could play with him. But I think it would create a little awkwardness in the locker room."

Seriously, who cares?

Like what he said is even that outlandish. At least he didn't pull punches.

At the end of the day he is shooting himself in the foot.

Ghey Mafia like whoa.

David Stern released a statement saying that Tim Hardaway will no longer represent the NBA following his comments.

He deserves it. I'm sure he ain't the only person in the NBA to hate gay people, but even if you do... don't be a fuckin moron and tell the whole U.S. that you hate gay people... just say 'no comment'. I wonder what goes through people's brains sometimes. That stupid gay organization had that snickers commercial pulled, you think there isn't gonna be a rallying cry when you say some dumb shit like that for everyone to hear?

david stern would suck a cock on tv if it meant he would gain more nba fans aside from the bazillions around the world already

did anyone expect hardaway to say anything different, i know it wasnt the PC thing to do but come on already

Did you listen to the comments? He went on and on about how he hates gays and would want a gay teammate to avoid him and be traded or released. Instead, he could've said no comment or just that he would feel uncomfortable about having a gay teammate and left it at that.

Just because its permitted in america does not mean homosexuality is right

Writers and NBA personalities, including Heat center Shaquille O'Neal and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, have widely praised Amaechi's revelation.

But Amaechi himself said he was overwhelmed by the attention he's received and still believes homophobia is rampant in and out of sports.

''We are much further behind than I'd like,'' Amaechi said, according to the Herald. "People in America and England would like to think racism is over, sexism is over, and homophobia is over, but it's not. My coming out will show that gay people don't all look like Jack from Will and Grace. Some of us are big, athletic men, and that should be OK.''

Amaechi also said he had not heard from a single former teammate or NBA player, but had been contacted by Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers. He also urged heterosexual players to support the cause.

"It's hard to get straight guys to step up," he said. "When men stood by women during the suffrage movement, they were called progressive and bold. When whites stood by blacks, they were heroes. But a straight guy standing up for a gay guy faces discrimination, and that's a big part of the battle we're fighting."

i think what the gay ex no name basketball player said was WAY worse than what hardaway said

there was a rumor goin around a few years back that Hardaway was gay himself, this probably supports that rumor

the better question is why you give a fuck about what 2 consenting adults do?
how do gays negatively affect your life?

its ironic because 40-50years ago it was acceptable for someone to say they hate Black people or were uncomfortable around black people, now you got a black guy saying the same shit about a different group of people.
