"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

4. Have you equaled or surpassed his hateful language?

:scared:

[Blue-Jay]

2. I hate people from the Northbridge neighborhood of Perth.

Shifty bastards, everyone of them.

Is anyone from Northbridge? I have my pocket knife out and I'm feeling STABBY!

[sasquatch]

3. What a douche

I bet Lebetard's Batista loyalist ass agreed with him the whole time too.

[Cabcere]

5. I don't like bigots...

and I don't like to be around them. Am I bigotphobic? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Ahhhh, go play some defense

:eyes:

[LeftyMom]

7. Tim Hardaway is a bigot.

"You know, I hate homophobes, so I let it be known. I don't like bigots and I don't like to be around people who choose intolerance. I am haterphobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States." -LM

8. He repays his good fortune with hate. There are few people of lower character than T.H.

[Pushed To The Left]

9. Too bad for Hardaway that the KKK won't take him!

He seems to have the same mentality. Maybe Hardaway can sue the KKK to force them to let in people like him who are every bit as hateful and stupid as they are!

[darkstar]

10. That's pathetic, huh?

I didn't know who TH was until now. And, unfortunately, it will probably take me a long time to forget him. Loser.

:puke:

[Fenris]

11. His last name sounds suspiciously homoerotic.

[swag]

12. Quel un chic type! He's had spunk on his tum-tum but for sure.

[Left Is Write]

13. Methinks the man doth protest too much.

Latency, anyone?

In any case, what IS it with straight men who are so obsessed with what gay men might be thinking in the locker room? Are they so full of themselves that they assume every gay man out there must be hot for them?

[Pushed To The Left]

14. Ted Haggard comes to mind

Many times, it seems like the most anti-gay people end up being the ones who are dealing with their own homosexual feelings.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. Honestly, I think the vast majority of homophobes are just bigots, not latent gays.

You're right about straight men thinking gay men are checking them out, though. Women aren't like that and the guys that are always worried about men checking them out are always the men LEAST likely to be checked out by gay guys. Really they should stop flattering themselves that way.

15. I Hope He's Grateful He's Not

...Cheney.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

17. Tim Hardaway

sucks and cant go to his left....or play defense.

[Mojambo]

18. I'm trying to figure out why I should care what Tim Hardaway thinks about anything.

Nope. I got nothing.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. What an asshole.

[terrya]

20. Well, I hate Tim Hardaway.

I don't know him, I've never laid eyes on him and I hate the bigoted motherfucker.

[IntravenousDemilo]

35. You don't remember Tim Hardaway, that tall mug of hot chocolate we had the three-way with?

Just as well he couldn't do any trash-talking as his mouth was always stuffed with something or other.

Or was it that other guy?

:hug:
shmily

[Midlodemocrat]

21. He's an asshole. A major asshole. And he wasn't even that good of a basketball player. So fuck him.

[johnnie]

22. There is too much hatred in this world

And now he is one of the hated... whoever this dude is.

[Danger Mouse]

23. A moron, an asshole, and a bigot...

He's hit the trifecta!

[dropkickpa]

24. But here's the good part

of the article, and bears repeating

''We are much further behind than I'd like,'' Amaechi said. ``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 said he had not heard from a single former teammate or NBA player, that he had only heard from former coach Doc Rivers. He challenged straight athletes ''who feel able'' to stand up for gay rights.

''I would like professional male athletes to be active supporters, and that doesn't mean putting a rainbow decal on their car,'' he said. ``It means letting other guys in the locker room know that it's not OK to make gay jokes, that it's hurtful, and that it's not OK to be homophobic.

``But it's hard to get straight guys to step up. 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.''

29. Speaking of big athletic gay people

I don't think many bigots would want to mess with this guy!



For those who don't know, that's openly gay pro-wrestler Chris Kanyon!

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

34. Actually I heard Kanyon

is just using it as a gimmick (like goldust), and is saying he was fired by the WWE because he was gay.


Pat Patterson is a legit openly gay pro wrestler, He's been retired for a number of years, but even when he was still an active wrestler it was common knowledge that he was gay. He's now a top executive for the WWE and well respected in the wrestling business, which kind of makes Kanyon's claim phony.

[Ekirh]

36. Yah Patterson is gay.

I remember Jim Ross making a mention of giving his well wishes to Robertson whose life partner had just passed away once

He if I remember correctly came up with the Royal Rumble idea.. which as a wrestling fan . . makes him forever great in my eyes :).

I know there has to be more than one gay (or bi) wrestler out there.. just non come to mind.


As for Kanyon . . I think he's doing it as a gimmick . . but I honestly couldn't say of course.

[MissMillie]

25. methinks he doth protest too much

:think:

[guitar man]

26. That's the great thing about freedom of speech.........

.....it gives us a way to identify the assholes.........and what an asshole this prick is!!....:thumbsdown:

[Deep13]

27. "It shouldn't be in the world..."

But since it is in the world one can either be an angry asshole or accept reality the way it is and not the way one assumes it ought to be.

It wasn't too long ago when many white Americans were saying the same thing about Blacks.

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Some teevee station has a poll about him

I posted it in GD a bit ago: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x217262

[mvd]

30. Unbelievably, he apologized!

Everyone knows after this that the apology wasn't sincere. He only looked even more stupid.

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. Oh brother.

"People would feel uncomfortable with that. If you're not gay, nobody in that locker room would feel comfortable with that person on your team."

No, just you, you bigoted asshole. How dare you classify EVERYONE as being as hateful as you.

[SKKY]

32. You know, if Hardaway wanted to get fired from every job he has right now...

...I can think of a million and one more creative ways of going about it.

[dEMOK]

33. Fortunately For People Like Tim...

...open minded people don't hate homophobes. There's always hope.
