I Think Tim Hardway's 'I Hate Gays' Comments are:

What most people believe

Courageous

Stupid, but he is right

Unecessary

In bad taste

Isulting and hateful

Who cares what he thinks.

Interesting results. How about "hate the sin and love the sinner" (though the sinners are pretty unlovable a lot of the time)

Le Batard took Hardaway to task, pointing out that his comments were 'flatly homophobic' and bigoted, but that only seemed to stir up the former point guard. "Well, you know, I hate gay people," Hardaway said in response to Le Batard. "I let it be known I don't like gay people. I don't like to be around gay people."

lol...not the response Le Batard was expecting, I suspect.

The bottom line is that blacks on the average tend to be more anti-gay than whites. In fact this is the big dilemma the Democratic Party faces, in that if they try to push Gay Marriage too much, they could turn off a lot of black voters, who tend to be much more socially conservative.

I'm willing to bet that Mr. Hardaway has been showering in the locker room with more "closet" gays than he could even imagine... maybe its better knowing who you can and cant bend over in front of.
As far as his comments are concerned...I care that he's homophobic about as much as I care that there are gay basketball players. He needs to grow up.

Love the results. Looks like lots more people agree with him than they expected. I'll bet this poll backfired on them.

I trust that Hardaway will take at least as much heat as the white guy John Rocker did for his comments............yeah, right.

Nah, only white guys (like John Rocker) get tossed into PC-rehab.

Ah, I forgot about Ozzie Guillen, manager of the White Sox. ....So it's not just white guys.

"PC-rehab."
The guy from "Greys" was a black guy, also.
When do the rehab sessions turn into re-education camps if you resist?

My question is....wouldn't a gay man in the men's locker room be the same as a woman being in there? Or a man in the women's locker room? Just asking....
