Tim Hardaway: "I hate gay people"

[bogie]

Apparently I don't know him as well as you think everyone else here does.

I really don't have to know him, I just have to listen to him.

[Calcountry]

I didn't give a shit what Tim Hardaway thought yesterday. I don't give a shit what he thinks today. I couldn't pick him out of a police lineup, barely remembered he was a basketball player, and didn't remember who he played for. Of course, whether his opinion is wrong, hateful or stupid, he is entitled to it, though. At least he used to be.

But does one guy saying this really mean anything? I wonder how many gays hate straight people. If some gay announces that he hates Tim Hardaway, is he any less wrong?

And as usual, any excuse to hop up and down screaming HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED always seems to make UP's day. You and TJ should start a club.I think he use to play for the GS Warriors a few years ago.

[Calcountry]

I think he use to play for the GS Warriors a few years ago.I don't know if this is a pun or not, but he has a great CROSSOVER dribble.

[BIG_DADDY]

He's definitely an idiot. He may be an idiot only insofar as making a grossly irresponsible, career-damaging comment to the media -- but that'd still make him an idiot.

I have no idea what his potential was to have a career in the media. That being said let the first person who has not said something to damage his potential career cast the first stone. He may very well be an idiot but to me one statement alone does not qualify someone for that title. If that was the case we would all be idiots.

I appreciate where you're going with this... nah, he's an idiot.

[Bowser]

This thread has become the proverbial turd in the punch bowl.

[El Jefe]

Bogie, I am not trying to start an argument but I am honestly asking this question: why do you consider him an idiot, because he doesnt like gay people?

[Fairplay]

I think im glad i decided not to read this whole thing.

Starting at the end of a thread is sometimes the best way to go.

[Reaper16]

Bogie, I am not trying to start an argument but I am honestly asking this question: why do you consider him an idiot, because he doesnt like gay people?
He's an idiot because he made public the comment "I hate gay people." And he was an aspiring tv personality. It's common sense, I would think, to not do that.

[bogie]

Bogie, I am not trying to start an argument but I am honestly asking this question: why do you consider him an idiot, because he doesnt like gay people?

He didn't say he doesn't like gay people, he said he hates gay people. Yes, I think people that hate solely because someone is different are idiots.

[El Jefe]

Reaper16, fair enough thats what I figured it was. I mean the guy is talking on a radio show and he thinks the statement isnt gonna get out....lol. I think hate is a very strong word and you cant say I didnt mean it because if you said you hate somebody then you probably do. I dont hate anybody I dont like people but I dont hate them. Ok soapbox time, I do not agree with gays, I cant stand it, in short it is very disgusting to me. Ok do I hate them no in fact I know a lot of gays I am as nice to them as I am anyone else but I am not gonna associate with them. I like the saying "hate the sin not the person". Take with a GRAIN of SALT.

I respect your position. You should meet my buddy Joe though. He's a jolly, hard working, kind dude that is a HUGE Chiefs fan. He's gay, he thinks Tony G. is hot. He would take a bullet for me.

[El Jefe]

Bogie, its hard to tell someone who doesnt believe what you believe they are wrong lol. I try to show my opinion and I dont force anyone to choose to believe it or not. There are a whole lot of nice gays out there but I just dont agree with the way they choose to live. Well I am done with my speech.

[El Jefe]

Good talk Bogie, I am putting in for the night........Good night all.

Several years ago at my work there was this guy (married with two kids)
who would hit on guys at work. Kiddingly to start out with, then get more serious if you just laughed and played along with him.
Anyway it was my turn to get hit on. I would laugh it off. Over a few weeks he would start to get more serious. It was getting very old. I asked advice from a couple other guys and they said threaten to take him to the office and he will leave you alone. So i did. That was it.

A couple years later they were taking people into HR department asking them questions if this guy had ever messed with you. I said hell yeah, told them what happened, conversations with him and what he said. Call me a narc i don't care. Ends up one guy did go to the front office and peoples names were brought up. Anyway the guy got fired bigtime. Come to find out about 15 guys throughout the plant told there stories.

He had it coming to him.

I think it's okay not to agree with the way they live. It's not however, in my opinion, okay to hate them for it.

I worked on a show called Real Stories of the Highway Patrol. One of the married producers (2 kids) was a dickhead and when he was out in the field, he would hit on and try to bed the young female interns. When management got wind of it, he was gone. He had it coming to him. Fortuantely, not all straight producers or all gay workers are idiots.

No, he responded because people can't deal with how he feels, just like some can't deal with others cutting off their penis.

[bogie]

Because he's true to how he feels. regardless of the consequences.

Being true to how one feels doesn't make them any less of an idiot. To hate someone for their differences is just wrong IMO. If someone brings harm to my family, I will hate the mofo to the depth of my soul and probably bring harm to them. If someone likes to have butt sex with boys, well, as long as it's not bringing harm to others, it's their own business. To hate them for that is just goofy.

I'm sure a big part of the backlash has to do with sensitivity to un-PC statements, but I think another part of the backlash is due to Hardaway's stupidity. Making his feelings public at a time when an ex-NBA player was trying to improve the tolerance of homosexuals in professional sports might not have been the wisest move. Our ears were already perked to every statement being made about homosexuality, and its as if we were just waiting for someone to say something homophobic.
Hardaway has since said that he wishes he hasn't said his statment. If I were an employer, I would discriminate against him not because of what he said, but because he didn't realize that perhaps he should keep that comment to himself. An internal edit button is a good thing to have at times.
Again, I'm not saying he isn't entitled to his opinion, just that he should have been smarter about the situation.

Ghey community needs to decide if its indeed about the private lives and ability to lead them or the necessity to tell the world one takes it in the can.

Hardaway's opinion may not be popular today.....but he's entitled to have it.

It's because he agrees with the opinion. nttawwt.

[mcan]

uh....actually... a number of studies with twins raised apart show that if one twin is gay that between 35 to 50 percent correlation that the other twin is gay (depending on the study). Nevertheless, this is a far greater correlation than you'd get by random chance and suggests there is a strong genetic component. However, the 35% to 50% level also suggests there is a strong environmental component to the behavior. Meaning, that homosexuality probably can arise both by genetic determination and learned behavior


(depending on the study) is quite telling. If you get two studies that say different things, the study methods of BOTH need to seriously be called into question. Also, I can't imagine there are many more than a handfull of twins raised seperately in this country. With such a small sample size, the results would be suspect even if all the studies agreed. The fact that studies have conflicted raises even more red flags about it. I could be wrong. I'll look up some studies to see what they show. But I did just take a psychology of sexual behavior class, and lets just say that the studies that class had me look at (and wanted me to believe) were not very scientific or convincing.

[Frazod]

Actually, Hardaway backpeddled from his earlier statements and issued a rather half-assed apology. I figure he saw any vestiges of a future broadcasting career going up in flames, tucked tail and begged for mercy. Sounds like (much like John Rocker before him) he simply got caught ranting and didn't think about the fact that the world was listening to his conversation.

So much for Hardaway's courage; of course, courage doesn't pay the bills.

When these celebrities (or pseudo celebrities) get busted doing something the PC gods deem inappropriate, they always apologize, but it doesn't take a genious to know that the only thing they're sorry about is being chased around by the torch and pitchfork crowd. It would have been refreshing if Hardaway said "Yeah, I hate gays. I'm not apologizing. Kiss my ass if you don't like it." WE ALL KNOW THAT'S HOW HE FEELS, for better or worse. To do that would have required a measure of courage. But realistically, it would have also required Hardaway to have enough money that he'd never need to work again.

Is there anyone here who is honest about everything 100% of the time? Of course not. We are all products of imperfect environments. We all have our demons, and every now and then they sneak out and get us into trouble. And somewhere along the line, PR because much more important than honesty.

[mcan]

So what you're saying is, you like women who have bodies that are identical to a pre-pubescent boys.
I guess that explains your homophobia, you're in the ****ing closet and you hate yourself for it.

Rump Ranger


I think you've misunderstood my point of view. Perhaps my posts are too long and you get a little reactionary. I'm FAR from being homophobic. I definately used to be. I was brainwashed for a long time into thinking that homosexual behavior was anti-God and disgusting. When my brother and best friend came out of the closet, I had to do some serious soul searching. I thought about it objectively for the first time and took the time to consider "what if I'm wrong." I'm glad I did.

So, I encourage anybody to love anybody that they want to, and not be ashamed of their attraction to same sex partners. But I don't deny that there are such things as sexual deviants. I don't believe that people are born with a sexual attraction to feet or to large or small breasts. I don't believe that people are born attracted to geriatrics or young children. I believe that sexual DESIRE is an instinct, and that we all have it. Sexual preference, whether it be for gender/race/body type/eye color/hair color/etc... is brought about by a series of conditions that train us to apply our sexual desires toward a certain subject. Often times those conditions are probably through negative conditioning/reinforcement. In many ways, we are all Pavlov's dogs. If we start to associate sexual gratification with any of the above, we will start to develop that particular fetish.

What you fail to understand about my post is that I'm not trying to say anything about the moral value to any of this. Humans are one of the few species that have sex for fun. It's only natural that we would develop (anti-procreation) tendencies in our sexual adventures. And there's nothing wrong with that.

You'll have to refresh my memory - who is Carl Everett, and what did he do to offend your delicate sensitivities?He doesn't offend me, he's ****ing amazing. He was the most unfiltered, batshit insane athlete in a really, really long time.

Everett is an outspoken man, and his remarks have proven controversial on several occasions.

Perhaps the best-known of these was his denial of the existence of dinosaurs. He was quoted as saying, "God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex." He also derided fossils of dinosaur bones as man-made fakes. [2] In reference to these comments, Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy dubbed Everett "Jurassic Carl." Everett, in turn, referred to Shaughnessy as the "curly-haired boyfriend" of Globe beat writer Gordon Edes, a nickname which stuck after ESPN columnist Bill Simmons started incorporating it into his work. In Seattle, he was known as C-Rex, a name given him by writers for the Mariners blog U.S.S. Mariner [3].

Everett, again in an interview with Shaughnessy, questioned the validitity of the Apollo Moon Landing.[4]

In 1997, Everett and his wife Linda were charged with abusing their two children, Shawna and Carl IV. The criminal charges, which stemmed from allegations that Linda had applied "excessive corporal punishment" and that Carl had chosen not to intervene, were ultimately dropped. A judge in New York Family Court, however, placed Shawna in the care of her maternal grandmother, where she currently remains. [5]

Everett once called his own shot. Jamie Moyer beaned Everett, then a member of the Boston Red Sox, and Everett didn't take kindly to it and motioned that he would take him deep next at bat. He hit a homer over the Green Monster his next at bat and after crossing home plate, motioned towards the pitcher, grabbed his genitals and spat towards the mound.

Each season, Everett tends to get into altercations with umpires. Some of these tirades have resulted in suspensions, the longest of which, 10 games, came during the 2000 season after an incident in which he bumped noses with umpire Ron Kulpa during the process of taking exception to Kulpa's ruling that Everett's batting stance was illegal. In numerous interviews, such as the one in which he denies the existence of dinosaurs[6], Everett has stated that he thrives on being hated, and that it keeps him on top of his game. Opposing players, umpires, and even his own teammates are not immune, as evidenced by his postgame shouting match with Seattle manager Mike Hargrove[7] after a 14-6 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on July 5, 2006.

Everett has also made controversial remarks about homosexuality. He once said that if he had an openly gay teammate that he would consider retiring, or, at the very least, "set him straight." In the 2005 season, he told Maxim that he has had gay teammates and accepted them, but, "Gays being gay is wrong. Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be. … I don't believe in gay marriages. I don't believe in being gay." [8]. Other contemporary players, such as Shea Hillenbrand, John Smoltz and Todd Jones, have made similar remarks expressing reluctance to play on the same team as homosexuals.

I assume you've built a shrine to Carl Everett, then?

Hopefully it will be a dinosaur.

[mcan]

You wanna compare, disdain for homosexuality, to what Hitler did....

Allllll-righttttyyyyy THEN!!!


:spock:

Twilight Zone....

The modern day "gay-haters" may not be killing on a mass scale, but "killing" somebody isn't the crime we're accusing them of. The correlation is about HATING.

Hitler hated homosexuals too. But, one of his officers was homosexual, so he let the homosexual community slide... For awhile. He just sat there, quietly hating those homos.

Then one day, he just couldn't contain it anymore... He had his officer killed, and all the rest of his little "queer" buddies. And afterwards, all the homosexual community in Berlin (which at the time was a mecca for them) had to denounce their lovers or risk going off to the war camps. The SA made a habit, late in the war, of going and knocking down doors of known homosexuals and arresting them whether they were with a lover or not.

I really don't give a shit what people do in their bedroom as long as nobody is hurt. I do have a problem with the gay pride in your face assholes and anti gay Fred Phleps types. The only gay friend I have that I know of is a lady that throws darts at I club go to. Her and I had hung out talked, threw darts for a couple years and one night some of our friends were talking and said Mary was gay. I was a little stunned because I had no idea. I asked her if she was gay and she said yes, I said thats cool I had heard someone say you were and was just asking. The cool thing about it is it never was a issue and still isn't. She feel no need to prove anything to me and I feel no need to prove anything to her. Thats the way it should be.

Christ, this thread is full of it. Hell, three weeks ago you gave me rep on a post that was TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD asking about a rep comment I made that may or may not have hurt your feelings. You have posted crap of a massively intimate and personal nature on a public FOOTBALL BB that no one in their right mind would post, and although you've done your best to make sure I know all the sordid details of your life, I've also went to great lengths to ignore them. You have always goaded people into taking opposite stances from your narrow view of how life should be lived, and then you gleefully squeal like a stuck pig over it. You've done this for years. But you don't do it every single day, and you've got over 36,000 posts. So me not digging in to find multiple examples doesn't mean they aren't there - it simply means FINDING THEM ISN'T WORTH MY TIME.

I'd understand your outrage, but I(personally) have never heard anybody call a special needs person 'retarded'. I know the connotation of the word, but I haven't heard anyone use it that way.

Unfortunately for me I have heard it all too many times...and quite frankly was just as guilty as everyone else before my child was born.

I've gotten to the point where I detest the use of the word....I guess the low point for me was when I heard a teacher in the school system jokingly refer to my child as one of the "retards in the trailer", referring to the special classroom that was set up for a group of Autism-Spectrum affected teens that the school was trying to work with.

Then it's going to be hard to come to an agreement because our philosophies are just too different. I actually think that making fun of people can be a positive thing, if there isn't any hate behind it.


Example: I make fun of my brother. We laugh. He makes fun of me. We laugh.

Example: Two guys in a bar make fun of Matthew Shephard. Later they tie him to a post and beat him to death.


These are extreme examples, but show quite clearly that the "making fun of" part was independent of the person's true intentions. The first, was to have a laugh (hopefully with the other person) and the other was to reinforce their hatred of the other person. In fact, the specific jokes those two told might even have been funny jokes. But it doesn't matter. What they were up to was not funny, nor were the jokes really about making anybody laugh.

In regards to the word "retard" being used as slang. There is no way that you're going to be able to be objective about it, because you have a child with a disability. For my own part, I use the word all the time. But I don't use it to make fun of people with disabilities. I use it to draw a reference.

What I say: "I'm retarded"
Implied meaing: "Even though I have no real disability, I just acted in such a way as you would expect that I have some kind of mental problem or disability."

The word "retarded" in this sense has been villified for, in my opinion, no good reason.

Christ, this thread is full of it. Hell, three weeks ago you gave me rep on a post that was TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD asking about a rep comment I made that may or may not have hurt your feelings. Well, that's one way to look at it.

The other is that I was digging through an old thread because I was bored -- not to mention looking for a different old thread at the same time -- and gave you rep on a post that was TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD because the concept of asking what you said so long ago made me laugh a little.

You have posted crap of a massively intimate and personal nature on a public FOOTBALL BB that no one in their right mind would post, and although you've done your best to make sure I know all the sordid details of your life, I've also went to great lengths to ignore them. (A) I wasn't in my right mind when I posted that. I was ****ing depressed and terrified. At the time, the Planet was one of the few places where I felt like I was "connected" in any way with any people whatsoever.

(B) Anyone sharing anything about their lives on a public FOOTBALL BB at any point is an attention whore!

(C) YOU NEED TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT, YOU ATTENTION WHORE! I don't need to know the personal details of your life, frazod!

You have always goaded people into taking opposite stances from your narrow view of how life should be lived, and then you gleefully squeal like a stuck pig over it. My... hahahahahaha.

I think you've mistaken me for a different Psicosis/Ultra Peanut.

I've already devoted far too much time to your neon-glowing attention craving as it is. Search for your own crap. I was really offended that time you talked about murdering all those hitchhikers!

You are right...we probably won't agree.

You DO know the Shephard case was MUCH ..... less about homophobia....that it was MUCH MORE about a couple of drunken idiots, deciding to ROB someone....who they perceived as an "easy target"....and Matthew simply was a convenient target, don't you? :spock:

Seriously. The MEDIA and leftist activists and media in this country were the ones who really made it about "homophobia....."

Didn't both of the guys use the gay panic defense?

[mcan]

Unfortunately for me I have heard it all too many times...and quite frankly was just as guilty as everyone else before my child was born.

I've gotten to the point where I detest the use of the word....I guess the low point for me was when I heard a teacher in the school system jokingly refer to my child as one of the "retards in the trailer", referring to the special classroom that was set up for a group of Autism-Spectrum affected teens that the school was trying to work with.

I will admit to being thin-skinned....no doubt about it. But I do find it odd that people seem angry over Hardaway's comments...but yet have no problems with labeling in other manners.

mmaddog

I have no problems at all with labels. You just have to be careful not to use labels that people get offended by. If you're gay, and someone says "hey, go ask the gay guy over there if he wants a beer" there is nothing wrong with that. We've just phased out some words from our common, socially exceptable lexicon...

You wouldn't hear these applied to a person, unless it was a joke...

"Go ask that ****** if he wants a beer"
"Go ask that retard if he wants a beer"
"Go ask that fag if he wants a beer"

Even if you don't mean any malice, it's just not acceptable anymore.

[Mr. Kotter]

Didn't both of the guys use the gay panic defense?

After they realized the...."we need money, so let's rob the Nancy" defense would land them on death row.....yes, they did.

[HolmeZz]

After they realized the...."we need money, so let's rob the Nancy" defense would land them on death row.....yes, they did.

Yeah, and after both their girlfriends testified that their pre-conceived plan was to rob a gay man.

[Mr. Kotter]

Yeah, and after both their girlfriends testified that their pre-concieved plan was to rob a gay man.
In plea-bargains that spared them life in prison vs. 3-5 years at Camp Snoopy Carpet-Muncher. Yeah. :rolleyes:

Hell, out in 18 months with "good behavior"....:shake:

[mcan]

You are right...we probably won't agree.

But having a child with Special Needs makes me no less capable of being objective....

Also.....making fun of anyone isn't ever right. Making "fun" of your brother isn't like making fun of Special Needs children. But neither is right to do.

I just disagree I guess. I tend to think anything goes, as long as you don't intend to hurt somebody. And you're right, it's wrong of me to assume you can't be objective because of your situation. Sorry about that.

So you admitted they were an easy target but they did not choose that easy target based on their homophobia? Further they could not possibly have been trying to avoid the hate crime charge with that defense diversion?

[Frazod]

One more thing:

UP, clearly we're very different people, and while your antics and tactics annoy me occasionally, I bear you no malice (and I'm sure you've been here long enough to see what my posts read like when I do bear malice). I recognize that your life issues are brutal and go far beyond anything I've had to deal with, and I wish you the best in dealing with them. It has never been my intention to belittle you or your problems.

So peace, and goodnight.

But the Cubs still suck ass.

[HolmeZz]

Further they could not possibly have been trying to avoid the hate crime charge with that defense diversion?

Sexual orientation isn't covered under the Hate Crimes list in Wyoming. Why, I have no idea.

...because sane states understand, a crime is a crime.....that WHO it happens to, really shouldn't matter.....that a crim is a crime....and that Hate Crime Legislation is nothing more than politically-correct "feel-good" laws aimed at pacifying pansies among us.

Yeah. That pretty much covers it. :shrug:

;)

[Reaper16]

I thought the robbing was more or less irrelevant to Shepard's sexual orientation, but they were quoted as saying they killed him because of his perceived advances in the van. The whole "gay defense" thing.

That was AFTER their attorney realized they'd fry if their best defense was...."we wanted to rob him."

There is, if....as in the Red states, we understand....there is a distinction to be made, between discrimination based on a genetic condition which happens to be Constitutionally protected as a suspect classification under anti-discrimination laws......and, to be generous, ambiguous condition which happens to NOT be subject to Constitutional protections, or a "suspect classification" under any federal law.....:)

Don't you have hate crimes based on religion?

I hope not. If we do, they are equally stupid---asinine beyond belief.

[HolmeZz]

I hope not. If we do, they are equally stupid---asinine beyond belief.

Granted not a great source, but wikipedia says:

"As of October 2001, the federal hate crime law 18 USC 245 (b)(2), passed in 1969, protects religion, race and national origin, and applies only if the victim is engaged in one of six protected activities. Seven states have no hate crime laws, 20 states have hate crime laws that do not protect sexual orientation, and 24 states have hate crime laws that include sexual orientation."

I know I've heard of people getting charged with a hate crime for torching a Church before.

I just wanted to take a bit of time and go back and look at it again. I'll admit, most of what I learned from the case came from the media and from the play "The Larimee Project" which was actually pretty objective, since it was put together through interviews with people on both sides.

Do I think that McKinney and Henderson wanted to kill a gay man that night? Not necessarily... I think that if Matthew Shephard had been straight, he'd be alive today and telling his friends about that time he got his ass kicked and robbed by these two drunks that said they'd give him a ride. The fact is, McKinney lashed out on him because he touched his leg... His hatred blinded him and he didn't stop until the damage was done. It wasn't a pre-meditated gay bashing, but in his drug and alcohol induced stupor, his hatred for gays came to a violent realization.

[mcan]

I hope not. If we do, they are equally stupid---asinine beyond belief.


I don't think a person who kills a guy because of the guys' sexual orientation should be PUNISHED any more or less than a guy who kills another guy for a wallet full of money. But I do think it's important for us to know why or why not anybody was killed.

I don't think it's reasonable to assume that this was just a robbery gone bad though. These guys got into fights ALL THE TIME!!! And, they started beating Matthew when he touched McKinney's leg, continued beating him in a rage, stopped only for a moment to ask for the wallet, then beat him some more. Then tied him up, took his shoes, beat him some more... Then Henderson even tried to get McKinney to stop, and McKinney took a swing at HIM TOO! Henderson went back to the truck, while McKinney just kept on swinging and beating a motionless, defenseless, shoeless, and wallet-less Matthew Shepard.

They already had the wallet... The beating was either for fun (which if that's the case, how come they'd never beaten anybody to death before) or, the beating was "punishment" for touching his leg...

[teedubya]

So if we all can agree that being gay 'isnt a choice' but something that you are born with.

Is it safe to call it a Birth Defect?

We've seen Justin Timberlake Croon "dick in a box" on SNL.

We've seen the girl on youtube with her Box in a box.

I anxiously await Tim Hardaway's Youtube of "dickinthebutt" as an apology to the ghey community whose delicates he has offended.


Speaking of discrimination.....how the NBA can justify kicking him out of the All()*() game for expressing his view at a completely different location is beyond belief.

[Iowanian]

I hate retards. Retards disgust me. I don't think there's a place for them in the world or the United States.

Dude. You know thats a shitty thing to say, dude. Man, thats just not right. dude, you look fat in those pants, man.

[Sully]

Who's gonna answer this one honestly, since my last question wasn't?

What if Tim Hardaway had said, "I hate soldiers!!!"?

I'd be willing to bet that people so steadfasti]ly defending Hardaway's courage and convictions, such as Kotter, Steve and Iowa would be pretty vocally NOT defending his courage and conviction, but calling him and idiot...
I guess we are all PC when it comes to those things which e believe in. In the end, the PC "insult" is just another way to embolden those who say unpopular things that WE AGREE WITH.

[Bowser]

In the end, for me, I really couldn't care less what Timmah thinks. I just file his name under Useless Celebrity Bigot in the mental rolodex, and just shake my head at anything he says from here on out.

Oh, is this thread still about that?

[Iowanian]

I'd still agree he has a right to his opinion.....and I'd still retain the right to think he was an asshole for saying it. I don't think Hardaway is "couragous" for saying what he did.....I haven't said that I agree with him. I don't give a shit what he or the former player who likes manbanana say, about anything. I couldn't pick either out of a lineup of 4 tall people.

I just find if funny when people who squeal the loudest about free speech, don't afford the same leeway to others.

Wow, I missed all the drama.

I only posted in this thread because I'm genuinely CONCERNED about UP's behavior.

Maybe it's because I'm a mod, maybe it's because I've read just about everything UP's ever posted. IT'S FUNNY STUFF.

But recently, buried beneath the football talk and the witty little nonsensical stuff, there's been a steady barrage of attacks on Christians and anyone else that might not like gay people.

Honestly, Psi, I don't care if you don't like me. I've always enjoyed your posts, here and over at the NCAA forums we were both on.

I can't make both sides happy. If I let it all go, the religious people complain that they're being silenced. If I step in and do something, the anti-religious people step in and complain.

So I'm trying to deal only with things that involve malice, and some of your behavior lately has ABSOLUTELY been malicious, whether you want to admit it or not.

At no point have I defended Hardaway for his idiotic statements. Not once. Search the thread yourself, moron. The only "defense" I made, if I made any at all was to defend the principle of free speech. That includes the rights of asslicks like Hardaway to make fools of themselves.

My interest in this thread was two things: (1) entertainment & drama value, and (2) UPs hypersensitivity to anything remotely considered "homophobic"....and her hypocrisy on the issue, relative to her conduct when the "shoe is on the other foot." Of course, the hijackings were fun too.

Wait a second. I posted an article in DC where libs were doing much worse. They were actually approaching soldiers and accusing them of murdering babies which is way worse than just saying you hate somebody and you all your PC legions were absolutely defending their right to do so. Furthermore you your metaphores are horrible. You and your PC legions will defend the rights of some guy to not be offended because he takes it up the ass but defend the right of someone to say anything to someone who is putting their life and families future on the line for you. Is there any wonder why people despise the new PC America? That being said, using your own example I would defend some gay dudes right to pummel some asshole for jumping in his face and calling him a young boy rapist and murderer as well. The only hypocracy here is coming from you and PC members of our society. Freedom of speech is being invaded by left wing PC types WAY more than the right these days. I actually posted an article on this back about 9 months ago.

[BIG_DADDY]

For the record.
I think Hardaway is an idiot, not for saying what he believes... but for believing what he believes.

I think the part about they shouldn't be allowed to in our country or the world or whatever he said there was the worst part. Barkely said it was the stupdist thing he had ever heard but then said his biggest fear was that this weekend people would come out and defend what he said causing a huge firestorm. That's it in a nutshell. There are many athletes that don't want to shower with a gay dude. There are many who just want team chemistry in order to play championship ball. That usually comes from people who are tight gelling. That is harder to do with a gay dude. Barkely said he has gay friends. I just wanted to ask him when was the last time he hung out all weekend and kicked it with one of them.

Let me put it this way, if I am a coach and have a bunch of Sully's on my team and there is a talented gay player who can help us I would go out and get him. On the other hand if I have guys who are uncomfortable with a gay guys and I can't get that same chemistry I am not going to get him. I would not build a team around a gay guy but I would bring him in if I had the right guys if that makes sense. My job as a coach or owner would be to put the very best team on the court not the most PC team.

It is amazing to read through this entire thread. I had no idea that people had such feelings and deep seated negativity on an issue like this.

To me, Hardaway is showing his ignorance about people and his bigotry toward one group of people. His mother should have taught him better and to keep his ignorance to himself.

Equally frightening is to read that we still have such major homophobia. I mean come on, you cannot catch "gay". And if you are not gay, what makes you such an expert on it? I have a gay niece who is one of the finest peopole you will ever meet. I wonder how many of her patients..she is a nurse practitioner...care ?

It's not absurd, when you realize that many of the anti-gay groups are couching all of their arguments in Christianity.

I am anti-gay threads. YEEHAW!

Take out the word every time Hardaway says "gay", and instead insert "black".

Then it's easy to see how much of a turd biscuit Hardaway is.

[RNR]

Who's gonna answer this one honestly, since my last question wasn't?

What if Tim Hardaway had said, "I hate soldiers!!!"?

I'd be willing to bet that people so steadfasti]ly defending Hardaway's courage and convictions, such as Kotter, Steve and Iowa would be pretty vocally NOT defending his courage and conviction, but calling him and idiot...
I guess we are all PC when it comes to those things which e believe in. In the end, the PC "insult" is just another way to embolden those who say unpopular things that WE AGREE WITH.
I would think the the same thing as I do now "he is a idiot" much like "the idiot" in your sig. They both have the right to say what they want and they both have the right to be idiots. People suffer the backlash from using their freedom to say stupid things.

If there wasn't any gay people we wouldn't have this problem.

Stupid statements create conversation. We will never put an end to bigotry unless we allow the conversations to happen. We are so worried about being PC that we end up ignoring important issues and are forced into one sided arguments.

Kinda like at the beginning of the Iraq war, we were told that we could not be against the war while the troops are in harms way. It actually worked for quite a while.

Agreed I guess it takes idiots to bring somethings out. Much like the KKK they kept yelling and doing evil things and our country woke up. As far as the war that is a DC topic and I could go on a rant about that as I have a son fighting as we speak.

I was in no way trying to make a political statement toward you or your heroic son. Sorry if it seemed that way. Merely saying that dialogue is important, and it needs to be two sided.
