So are they going to ship him off to rehab to reprogram him?

A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigot

I don't know the man personally so I can't say he does/doesn't fit this description.

I don't know if he doesn't like gays because something happened to him or if it's just the thought of gays that bothers him.

To say he is "Uneducated and a Bigot" without knowing him shows that you yourself are showing the signs of being the very same thing you claim he is.

Really? So you can make yourself like behavior you hate, or do you just cover up hatred more eloquently than I? In short, are you wiser , more Godly than I? Have you indeed broken the chains of human suspicion and fear of that which isn't familiar?

And most importantly, are you rubbing it in?

I found this article on espn.com

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2766213

John Amaechi, a retired NBA player who just came out said about the remarks

Quote

"Finally, someone who is honest," he said. "It is ridiculous, absurd, petty, bigoted and shows a lack of empathy that is gargantuan and unfathomable. But it is honest. And it illustrates the problem better than any of the fuzzy language other people have used so far."

What fuzzy language? Could it be this from the same article?

Quote

While (NBA commissioner) Stern said a discussion about openly gay players could be part of future rookie orientation programs, he doesn't see a need to address the league.

"This is an issue overall that has fascinated America. It's not an NBA issue," Stern said, pointing to the ongoing debate over gay marriage at the state and federal levels.

"This is a country that needs to talk about this issue," he said. "And, not surprisingly, they use sports as a catalyst to begin the dialogue."

That's some fancy dancing there - its also a bunch of BS designed to take up time without saying anything.

As another poster said, sports is part of the entertainment industry. Since the entertainment industry engages in Madison Avenue religion (offend no one that may buy your product), any that pursue that path should be prepared to be under the thumb of a very fickled boss. What is right and wrong will probably change on a daily basis.

It's no big deal..

He will go to some kind of rehab for a couple of weeks and be "cured" and all will be forgiven.

Rehab? Call it what it really is...BRAINWASHING.

Airscrew · « **Reply #38 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:33:59 AM »

Heard this last night and again this morning, "Tim Hardaway hates gays"
My response "So what" big deal so he hates gays.

storch · « **Reply #39 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:37:58 AM »

it's amazing how much influence 3% of the population has over the culture.

lazs2 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:38:47 AM »

xargos... I doubt that much brainwashing can be accomplished in two weeks of showing up to a class an hour at a time.

So it really isn't a choice, it is what's natural to them.

The reality is that we really don't know what makes a person gay. Is it a choice? Is it genetic?

I believe it is a choice, but that doesn't change anything. I'll be the first person to yell when you try to tell me what I can or can't do. Who am I to say what another person can do? The same goes for everyone here.

you might have missed my sarcasm.

rehab is what every celebrity... anyone in the spotlight.... does to get out of any jam they get into... there is no real value in the rehab and it is used for the sole purpose of getting out of some embarassment of career ender that they blunder into.

They pretend to be rehabilitated and we pretend to believe them.. Why? cause we like to watch the train wreck that is their lives.
