Tim Hardaway is in a bit of hot water. The former Golden State Warrior and Miami Heat point guard was on a Miami radio station yesterday when he was asked about John Amaechi, the former NBA player who just came out of the closet and just penned a book. Hardaway said, among other things, that he “hates gay people”. Well, Mr. Hardaway is now the new poster boy for homophobes, bigots, idiots, and cavemen. Scanning the blogosphere and checking out the talking heads on the tube, poor Timmy is being eviscerated. I wonder if he’ll be going to rehab like Isaiah Washington, the “Grey’s Anatomy” co-star who uttered gay epithets against one of his fellow actors. I didn’t know there was a rehab for such things. Speaking of which, are Mel Gibson & Lindsay Lohan out yet?
I wonder what the fallout would be if the media were to stick a mic in front of Mr. Meredith or one of the other COG leaders and ask for their opinions on homosexuality. That just might put us on the radar screen, although I’m pretty sure no one would say that they “hate” anybody. Nowadays, disapproving of ay behavior is increasingly equated with hatred of the perpetrators. Yep, I think that would do it.

While he never should've said that he hates gay people, I DO applaud the fact that he had the guts to actually say that it's wrong. I just hope he doesn't cave in to the media and go to "rehab." A lot of people feel that way but won't take a stance that's unpopular in the media.
