Tim Hardaway is a homophobe

Damn 206 replies to this crap, I guess he really offended some of you eh. J/p :lol:

I don't like intolerant bigots.

[QUOTE=raiderfan19]comparing homosexuality with skin color is just moronic. There is nothing wrong or unnatural about being any skin color. It is unnatural and wrong to be gay. I dont hate homosexuals nor do i think anyone should but this comparison is more foolish than tims statements.[/QUOTE]

you my good sir/ma'am are an idiot. how can you say it is unnatural and wrong to be gay? most of the people that "choose" to be gay are 16 year old girls trying to impress little boys. crawl out from under your rock and understand that people do not choose to be homosexual no more than people choose to have asthma. please educate yourself and your family members.

the attitude of Christians and even non Christians is that humans are better than animals, so they don't act bestial.


(for Christians, in this case it means no gays. for non Christians it might mean no reckless sex chases to get your genes into the next generation)

Wow I am really surprised at the comments on cnnsi looks like the majority are backing up Tim, idealogically.

Didnt anyone watch X-Men?!?!?

Now is it just me or do some of these homophobes seem to have the idea about homosexuals that they're all sexual deviants who'll if given the slightest bit of oppurtunity would not hesitate to force him/her self upon them.

[QUOTE=El Kabong]Now is it just me or do some of these homophobes seem to have the idea about homosexuals that they're all sexual deviants who'll if given the slightest bit of oppurtunity would not hesitate to force him/her self upon them.[/QUOTE]



Tim Hardaway thinks this way.



but who do you define as a homophobe? conservatives? Republicans? regular church going families? the Vatican? the Muslims? please elaborate.

singling out people as homophobes is just as ignorant and bigoted as it is to call people homosexual deviants. they are both born out of sheer mean spirited ignorance.



just like how it is wrong, ignorant and bigoted to call a black man the N word, just as it is to call someone who votes Republican a stupid Red State hick who likes to eat at Red Lobster and play bowling on Friday nights.


it may not have the same civil connotations, but you cannot disagree both are ignorant statements.

Since so many folks Tim was wrong for his view. here is a question. If you were playing any type of organized sport, would you use the shower right next to a person who you KNOW is gay? I'm not saying just being his team mate. I'm saying being butt naked shower in his open view comfortably.

in a nutshell:

Why didn't anyone call Mj a homophobe when he called Kwame a "flaming ******"?

Okay I must be outdated cuz ya'll are brining up something i aint never heard of.......but then again I aint up on my Zoology since H.S...

[QUOTE=boozehound]well I dont think this forum was around at the time (I certainly wasnt part of it) but of course I would defend his right to not stand during the national anthem. I think it cheapens the meaning of the anthem if people are forced to partake against their will (as if our false patriotism werent cheap enough - only 1.99 and you too can "support the troops" with a sticker that in no way benefits the troops). I was at a white sox game shortly after 9/11, and a couple there were wearing "arrow through head" style flags with about 9 stripes and 15 stars. During the 7th inning stretch the stood up to god bless america and were pointing to their flag heads like they were the ****ing most american thing since john wayne. I was already completely offended by them (The flag is meant to be displayed as that, a flag, or as a patch on a uniform - any clothing with the flag depicted, or using the flag pattern is belittling to the ideals which that flag represents). No bikinis, no stickers on your car with GW face over the flag.

And to be fair he wasnt being lambasted for being a muslim, but for a politically symbolic act he was engaged in. [URL="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_n11_v113/ai_18179967"]http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_n11_v113/ai_18179967[/URL][/QUOTE]

Of course it was becuz he was a muslim teh act was mae to be something subversive becuz he wasn't christian or athleist...if he was then he'd just be a disrespectful/lazy jigabo...but they turned it into a religion thing and went to Hakeem.....try to make it seem liek Rauf was a bad person and a poor muslim.

i saw a topic a few days ago asking if you would think less of jordan if he came out of the closet and i think i wouldn't know the answer if i would or not think less of MJ. like it's impossible to deny his greatness in the game of bball. and i can't imagine a manly man like him being a gay guy. but for tim hardaway i am thinking less of him for the comment he made on gay people. i don't know. somehow i just don't like him much anymore. i guess it's just like how people started to hate kobe so much when he turned out as a ******/cheater.

the issue isnt him saying I would be uncomfortable with a gay man seeing my naked ***** in the shower. He said he hates a group of people and they have no place in the wolrd. much stronger. many of the nba players made comments about the locker room issue with no backlash

Hardaway is entitled to his own opinion and is allowed to present them in our culture of free speech.


however, that does not mean he should have made these remarks. they were crass and insensitive. and even though I lean to the right, I understand that homosexual citizens have rights as well.
