Wow, that escalated quickly.So by now most of you have heard or read about Tim Hardaway and his comments related to John Amaechi coming out of the closet.
Basically, Hardaway said he hates gay people, doesn’t like to be around them, admitted to being homophobic, and just doesn’t like being around gay people.
And people say NBA players have a hard time handling pubic relations and the media with grace and dignity?
Click here for a TV report about the Hardaway news.
A few things to pay attention to during the clip –
1. The reporter doing the story is Jim Berry and has the nickname J.B, which is funny to me because there must be 8,000 J.B.’s doing TV right now.
2. J.B. got a phone interview with Hardaway last night AFTER he made the original comments and of course Timmy dug himself into an even deeper hole.
3. The Tim Hardaway picture toward the end of the clip shows his headshot with the gay pride colors flying behind him. I am guessing he didn’t really like that either.
I think the most surprising thing out of all of this is that Tim actually answered the phone; I figured he would be too busy listening to Coldplay.
Or maybe watching Maid in Manhatten.

hello? is anyone there? 4th and ocean? hello?
I think these kind of public statements from men are incredibly important. how else can you tell that someone is not gay unless he declares his disgust for homosexuals?!?! A homophobic man is truly a mark of a man comfortable with his own sexuality.
COld Homoha, I really think this is a great piece of cultural commentary. you should probably post it on disstraktor. But before you do that, add a few more chapters, a conclusion and then some witticisms.
