"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway said. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

If Amaechi wants to be courageous or admirable, then he would've come out while he was playing.

I'm all for Gay rights but the timing of this is just pathetic, around the All-Star break and right when his book comes out. He is profit-ing off his sexual orientation and I wonder what do gays think of him. Do they think he's courageous for coming out or think he's doing this to make a few bucks.

BTW, Tim Hardaway is just an IDIOT for making those comments on air. I'm sure there are people out there that share the same opinion he does (I'm not one of them) but they don't have the platform that TH had and he basically just let his ignorant mouth do the talking.

I just listened to the interview, and I noticed a couple of things...

I dont think that Hardaway agreed to talk about the issue. LeBatard threw the question in at the very end of the interview. Hardaway sounded upset about him asking the question.

After Hardaway explains his views on homosexuality, LeBatard calls him a homophobe in an angry tone, and Hardaway spouts off the "I hate gay people" stuff.

At first, Hardaway simply said that he doesnt agree with homosexual behavior and that he thinks its wrong, then he said that he doesnt think that it's a good idea to have gay men in the locker room with strait men. On the latter point, I would have to say that he has a legit concern. Why should it be okay for a sexually interested person to enter a locker room where men are bearing themselves in the open. A man's nudity is his own, and in a locker room he chooses to display it in full knowledge that it is not being used as a sexual stimulant for another person in there.

Yeah, gay people have rights too, but lets not let those rights impede on a person's own rights to the sanctity and privacy of their own body.

He says a lotta weird things .... I was a reporter in El Paso when he was there, and once in a live interview from Provo after they'd won in the semis, I asked him what he hoped would happen in the finals (vs. BYU), and he said, "I want to get a ring with a diamond as big as my head."

I didn't have the heart to tell him the WAC didn't give out rings to conference tournament champs. They lost anyway. Antonio Davis anbd Greg Foster were also on that team. Those three had a LOTTA good years in the league.

:shrug: A little of both, and others don't care. There isn't one voice or one spokesperson for the gay community, any more than Rush Limbaugh speaks for all white men. The range of gay folks' reactions will be just as widespread as you'd expect of any other group of people.

That's because it's different and is something most people don't care for, and some don't agree with.

While I don't care personally, I know for a fact that there are some on here who don't care for the "I'd-nail-that" comments when a chick wearing dental floss is posted.

Saying those things about someone of the same gender draws some uncomfortable responses because not many people can identify with it.

If I said "I like to put ketchup and pork on my ice cream" you'd get a bunch of people saying "ewww" and "that's gross, dude." If I took it further and asked my friends what they thought about me as a person because of this, most wouldn't really care and just say "I think that's weird and it's not my thing, but you're a cool guy." My Jewish friends would tell me it's against their religion, but that doesn't mean we can't be cool.

I know who you love and want to be intimate with is obviously more serious that this example, but I'm just trying to illustrate a point.

Is it fair? Probably not, but that's life. Sorry.

Hardeway's comments appear shocking in the current media culture where PC responses are expected as the norm for public communicaiton. His thoughts probably reflect the views of the large majority of NBA players however. Acceptance of the gay lifestyle has not penetrated the black community as it has society at large, and remains highly taboo among the majority of black males, where gay men are considered the antithesis of the cultural machismo that dominates most thinking about this topic. I don't find it suprising he thinks this way, but somewhat starling he admited to it in an interview given his long experience with the press as a professional athlete used to dealing with the spotlight of media attention.

While I personallly don't appreciate for any view that expresses hatred for somebody, in some respects it's almost refreshing to hear somebody admit to how they truly feel instead of taking the PC route and knuckling under to the expectations of the press. I'm guessing the image conscious NBA will probably fine Hardeway for his comments. I understand he's already apologized for the statements, which just goes to exhibit the extent to which our culture feels more comfortable with the demonstration of obvious hypocrisy than non-conformity when it comes to these kind of issues. I'm waiting for the day that an athlete, entertainer or politician decides to stand by their remarks and tells the PC police to shove it. I doubt we'll see it anytime soon.

When he worked for ESPN years ago, he wasn't exactly the Peter Gammons of basketball. I recall one time him talking about the Lakers and he pretty much said this...

"Mannnn, the Lakers are struggling but it isn't all on Shaq and Kobe. That guy who starts with them really needs to step it up. I can't remember his name right now but he needs to step his game up. And that guy who comes off the bench. I can't remember his name right now either, but he needs to step up too."

This entire paragraph is bull****. If anything, the gay guy would feel more akward then any straight guy in being naked in a room full of men. I realize straight guys have this inordinate fear of being checked out my another dude, but its ridiculous. If a gay guy is playing a team sport, he is there for the sport, and not the guys he is playing with. We constantly hear how on sports teams, the coach assumes a "father" role, teammates become brothers, its not any different for the gay guy. You get close to your teammates, any sexual thought leaves your head. It would be like thinking about an actual blood sibling in a sexual way and thats gross. Also, if a man chooses to go bareassed in a room full of other men, his nudity is no longer his own, because everyone can see it.

This entire paragraph is bull****. If anything, the gay guy would feel more akward then any straight guy in being naked in a room full of men. I realize straight guys have this inordinate fear of being checked out my another dude, but its ridiculous. If a gay guy is playing a team sport, he is there for the sport, and not the guys he is playing with. We constantly hear how on sports teams, the coach assumes a "father" role, teammates become brothers, its not any different for the gay guy. You get close to your teammates, any sexual thought leaves your head. It would be like thinking about an actual blood sibling in a sexual way and thats gross. Also, if a man chooses to go bareassed in a room full of other men, his nudity is no longer his own, because everyone can see it.

Lost in the shuffle of all this Amaechi talk is his career management blunder....It has been a while so I don't remember the specifics but he had a decent year or two and was available for free agency. I believe it was the Lakers that offered him a huge long term deal, something in the 5 year, $40 million type of silly money. His agent talked him into taking a 1 year mid-level exception type of deal with a wink and a nod that they will get him even better money the following season. He had a crappy year and never saw anything of the sorts.

It still slips my understanding that anyone would feel that it's okay for them to trample over another's sensibilities. Especially with something as intimate as their sexual awareness. Just as it would be inappropriate to share a shower with a married female teammate, it is inappropriate to share a shower and locker room with a gay teammate. It's common sense, really.

Saying that you dont belong in a locker room with people of the opposite sexual persuasion doesnt mean that they "hate" you. It just means that they want to protect themselves. Gay people do not have the right to invade that space just because they dont want to feel different. The plain truth is that they are different. That's what they seem to want us to acknowledge, both ethically and scientifically. If you are different, then let everyone acknowledge that. You can wait until the straight guys are done with the showers. If you are secure about your sexuality, you can take the jokes just like everyone else does.

I just listened to the interview, and I noticed a couple of things...

I dont think that Hardaway agreed to talk about the issue. LeBatard threw the question in at the very end of the interview. Hardaway sounded upset about him asking the question.

After Hardaway explains his views on homosexuality, LeBatard calls him a homophobe in an angry tone, and Hardaway spouts off the "I hate gay people" stuff.

At first, Hardaway simply said that he doesnt agree with homosexual behavior and that he thinks its wrong, then he said that he doesnt think that it's a good idea to have gay men in the locker room with strait men. On the latter point, I would have to say that he has a legit concern. Why should it be okay for a sexually interested person to enter a locker room where men are bearing themselves in the open. A man's nudity is his own, and in a locker room he chooses to display it in full knowledge that it is not being used as a sexual stimulant for another person in there.

Yeah, gay people have rights too, but lets not let those rights impede on a person's own rights to the sanctity and privacy of their own body.

OMG! All those lesbian girls in high school gym that were just craving my bod.

A person doesn't have to be naked to be lusted after and we work with people of a sex we would consider having sex with every day or we are around them in one way or another. Unless, as human beings (and gays are human beings) we've all turned into animals that force our urges on others, I don't think it's a problem. Geeeeez.

Just as a person wouldnt expose themself to a woman that they werent interested in (some of us wouldnt expose ourselves to any woman that we werent married to), they wouldnt want to expose themself to anyone that would potentially be interested in them. That's part of the reason why there is a level of comfort and trust in the locker room that is disrupted by the inclusion of gay interests. Whether or not the gay person implicitly expresses those interests is irrelevant.

Unfortunately, I know first hand that several gay men are or have been interested. A few of them felt comfortable enough as friends to tell me that I have a "nice butt", whatever that means. If they ogle at my butt when it's covered, I dont see how they wouldnt ogle at it when it is not.

Just as women choose what they want to wear to reveal themselves to specific people at specific times, men have the right to expose themselves to who they feel comfortable with. If they do not trust gay men with their private nudity, they shouldnt be forced to endure that situation. Just as a woman is perturbed by sexual harrassment via inappropriate exposure shouldnt have to feel oppressed by that harrassment.

About not knowing...it is your resposibility to be accountable to the people around you. If you are harboring such information and putting other people in a situation that they are not comfortable with, that is something that rests on your conscious alone.

So...a gay guy should be forced out of sports, working out, ect because it MAY make a straight guy uncomfortable to hear he has a nice butt? Your comparison to women wearing revealing clothing is not valid, you voluntarily agree to go to a gym, work out, strip down and shower, no one is making you get naked in front of other men.

Some people feel that it is inappropriate to be alone with a married woman. Showering with a gay man is much more extreme than that.

I have several friends that I wouldnt trust alone with my daughter. People have varying degrees of libido and control. It is in everyone's interest to protect against all extremes and build standards from there.

Don't worry Angry, there is no threat to your sexuality, showering with a gay person, unless that gay person is a pervert and hetereosexual's have perverts too.

the high piched voice the over acting its like look at me im gay ... then i see gay people how act like people , normal people ... proving the ones who ACT gay are just that acting ... yes the are gay ... but act really gay ... Ant gay and ACTS gay .... Neil Patrick Harris gay and acts human...
i mean what gives... so if all of a sudden i was gay my voice which is low world raise 4 steps and id talk with my hands alot and way over act everything ??? id think if i turned gay id like guys and everything else would be the same ...

to me it seems more like gay people act that way to make sure you know they are gay ... and if thats the case thats lame and uncalled for ...


My friends love the fact I dont lisp, say girlfriend, have limp wrists or wear belly shirts. I'd shoot myself if I did that. I hate queens, simply because that is a learned affectation. Gay does not automatically mean a man must act like a woman, because they are not. If I was attracted to female aspects...I'd date women.

It was a joke. It's understandable that you're irony meter is at max, and my joke was probably really obtuse. The last guy I lifted with on a regular basis was extremely out. Not effite, but just in incredible shape, and dressed really, really good. He had an internship down here for a year, and then went back to Manhatten where he and his partner lived.

Llama, I suppose it's possible that somewhere along the line, I showered with some gay guy who lusted after every naked body in there, but wouldn't that guy sort of figure to "stand out," like with a boner from Cuba? My experience has been that gay guys aren't really interested in having sex with me, because I'm not at all interested in having sex with them .... unless they'tr african americans who are hung like Secretariet.

In what way is it ever alright that a man hold inappropriate social interaction with a woman? Point in case...I have some friends who stand around and ogle women. Not only do they ogle women, but they go out of their way to say provacative things to them. Sometimes they get reciprocated interest, and sometimes they get the finger.

No biggie. You do your thing, and I'll do mine, and I'll high five you at a Broncos game.

Did I say anything giving permission or making it alright for men to act inappropriately toward women? Nope, don't think so: I noted only that it happens.

For that matter, llama, you're taking it to an extreme by citing the case of "inappropriate behavior." Believe me, the long measuring stares happen far more often than the blatant over-the-top actions like your friends.

It's a real eye-opener, and a sleazy, uneasy feeling, when you realize that the customer you're working with has just spent the entire time of the interaction talking to your chest. It's really tempting to wave and say "Hey, I'm up here, you know?"

Is that what you're afraid of, that some guy in the shower might take a long look at your groin? Or your ass?

Sure. I understand your position and I empathize with it. That was the intention of my post. Unfortunately, our modern society does not posess a sociosexual ethic that regards men and women as anything more than sexual objects. In my opinion, this has been exacerbated by the rise of porn and the laissez faire attitude toward sexual perversion in the mainstream media.

Interesting, llama, that you credit the objectification of people, whether men or women, to porn and the "laissez faire attitude."

I'd look at it differently... that objectification of men OR women, by other men OR by other women, comes from our culture's fundamental denial that we are sexual beings. It's the repression of our sexuality that leads to its exploitation: we hunger for it, but we can't have it. Our government and our holy traditions allow sexual expression only in certain circumstances with the approved partners. That old monkey lust thing is dirty, nasty and taboo, where it's not outright illegal.

Because sex is the forbidden fruit, it's the tasty treat that everyone MUST have. We'll grab for anything that hints of it -- or better yet, promises it -- from blue jeans ads to car show models to designer fragrances to porn DVDs.

A human being should reach a state of maturity where it can weigh the pros and cons of the effect of their libido on their social environment, and it should be able to react according to the course of action that is the most beneficial for it in the long term. Rarely is allowing your libido to carry you into sexual perversions that could be detrimental to your mental, physical, and social health a beneficial course of action to allow yourself to take.

Not too long back I read a book with a character who proposed that sex is an act of worship, and blessed in itself when it's done for joy, love and pleasure as a celebration of life. The proposing character pointed out that God gave us eyes to see the beauty all around us, hands to make things to add to that beauty, and voices to sing hymns of worship.

Oh I totally agree with you. There is no harm in being tempted to do all these things. Everyone feels urges to do a myriad of things. These urges aren't evil or good by themselves; they're just impulses. The harm is when we don't exercise our frontal lobe when deciding when to act on them.

I think most of us do, gays and straights. We may admire the person but it doesn't mean we do anything inappropriate. If a gay person looks at you in that way that's his faulty behavior, in much the same way of heterosexual males towards women as Sister said, and we can't always control others behavior. Each sexual preference has them. There really is no difference. You have showered with gays before I'm sure and it didn't bother you until you thought about it. The problem for you is in your own head, not in the shower.

Good point.

Sisterhellfyre referred to me as "reverend" earlier in the thread (which I am certainly not) because I subscribe to a philosophy where the rational mind dominates the emotive mind. Where the cerebral cortex filters and organizes what the limbic system gives it. Where Freud would say that the superego checks the ego. I'm not big on Freud, but I am big on naturalistic neurophys.

I think that it's necessary to recognize the legitimacy of rational decision-making outside of the realm of reverends and heathens, and to recognize it for what it is. Even a naturalist must see the value in appropriating behavior to move away from hedonism because of the negative returns that it brings into the life of the person that enslaves themselves to their own desires.

Some may wish for anarchy for some twisted reason, but I dont. Civilization is the life for me. Give me trust, love, and hope in a civilized world.

The only thing about homosexuals I never really understood is this need to announce their preference. Just like with the overly zealous of religious sects, it always seems to work it's way into the conversation somehow....the old "Well I'm gay"/"Well I'm born again"/"Well I'm Jewish"/ "Well I'm Catholic" etc. etc. etc. My usual response to any of this when it happens to me is "Well I really don't care"...because I don't.

The issue with sex is not as complicated as we make it out to be. The joy in sex is not in the quantity, but in the quality. Sex used as a toy (something to be done for fun) to share with whoever or whatever comes along fitting the moment cheapens it into an act nearly as mundane and unsignificant as talking about the weather. Casual sex is just that: casual. It is not a celebratory event.

As a sort of a deistic naturalist, I look at sex as the fruit and culmination of pure innocence and love. It is best served from innocent hearts willing to come together in a conflagration of their commitment to one another.

The issue with sex is not as complicated as we make it out to be. The joy in sex is not in the quantity, but in the quality. Sex used as a toy (something to be done for fun) to share with whoever or whatever comes along fitting the moment cheapens it into an act nearly as mundane and unsignificant as talking about the weather. Casual sex is just that: casual. It is not a celebratory event.

Have you ever had sex? If not, how do you suppose to know what "casual" sex or sex period entails physically or emotionally? If you have had sex, REPENT, SINNA!

nah Slap Vermiel dont bug me ... he is jusst a big soft hearted guy that gets worked up really easy and crys if he's happy or sad either way...

as far as the science of sex ... not to quote a lame a$$ 80s pop song ... but there is a reason one sex organ is shaped like a lock .. and one a key ... as far as for what sex much actually ment for ...

and i dont care about the religion part of this whole topic at all cuz im not sure if im religious ... i think all religions are if not totally at least partly wrong ... if there is a god and i hope and think that maybe there is something out there that loves us all = and cares nothing of are weakness and faults ... but i think people have basically F'ed up a really good thing when it comes to kill someone else or hating someone else cuz they choose to pray to a different invisable man then you do ... so that dont come into play on my ideas on the gay thing ...

that being said ...
science noted ...
religion noted ...


i'v just never been into it ...
and gay is gay ...
like 90% of guys "straight" i know if you mention 2 chicks going at it they are like ooo yea thats hot ... and i just dont get it ... and was never turned on by it .. "maybe i just dont like seeing someone getting something im not" :O) ... or i hear stuff about guys trien to get their wives / girlfriends to do a 3 some with another girl or stuff like I LOVE to catch my wife with another chick blah blah blah and i was always like HOLD UP HOLD UP ...

ok guy think thats hot
question ... females ...
would you find it hot if you walked in on your hubby/boyfriend with his best friend Steve "or whatever" in the kitchen just a going at it ... i think not ... she would leave you and take half lol ...
and i being male just never was into seeing 2 chicks ... period


but as far as the love part . i guss you can love anyone . if it turns sexual to each his own .and i don't think its my right to tell anyone who they should love or can love ...

The whole stange concept here isn't gay or straight. It's locker rooms. Big community showers. As up tight as everyone is regarding their kids and what is proper schooling, and what is politically correct is speech, action, and deed the totally weird thing is a big room with people you only know in a certain context running around nekid.

I think I'll apply for a Government Grant to study the detrimental possibilities of this practice. I mean there has to be some sort of residual disorders resulting from having to go from group nudity to history class.

Then throw in the diverse sexuality or possible perversion tendencies, and by golly, I think that is going to have to be an extremely generous grant.

Oh there is no doubt. I don't care what your orientation is, it is damn traumatic to be in a lockerroom with a bunch of teenage girls and every is just waiting to get out so they can go start yakking about so and so's whatever.

Good Lord, it makes my stomach hurt to think about it. I think the solution to all of this is to eliminate any kind of group showering. :) I certainly wouldn't be caught dead doing it....ever.

Hardaway's comments about hating gay people and Amaechi's marketing tactics for his new book are two separate subjects.

Amaechi wants to sell a book. I have no problem with him trying to do so. The release date and pub on ESPN are certainly in an effort to sell as many as possible. Personally if he released a book like this at ANY OTHER time he would be an idiot.

He didn't tell Hardaway to come out and say what he said in order to help bring attention to his book. Hardaway did that on his own armed only with ignorance and hatred.

It's shameful what he said, to say you hate any broad group of people just because they are different from you is disgusting.

I personally don't care if someone hates gays or not. However, if asked , I would recommend they not make a public spectacle of themselves on that particular subject...dman

The only thing about homosexuals I never really understood is this need to announce their preference. Just like with the overly zealous of religious sects, it always seems to work it's way into the conversation somehow....the old "Well I'm gay"/"Well I'm born again"/"Well I'm Jewish"/ "Well I'm Catholic" etc. etc. etc. My usual response to any of this when it happens to me is "Well I really don't care"...because I don't.


Yet you comment on it...interesting. ;)

You Tube to the rescue yet again...that site rocks...Has that fem heard of simply stepping on it? I would tell him if he saw one, there are likely hundreds if not thousands where he came from...he would go screaming like a girl out of the station and get hit by a truck. Stomp on that Mr. Weathergirl.

It is unusual for a roach to appear in light, especially under camera lights. Probably was just a lady bug. Or a roach planned to attack the most vulnerable, the weathergirl.

Now Hardaway is apologizing again. What bothers me the most is that he is apologizing now saying that he is a good person and doesnt hate gay people. F that! I wish these stupid ignorant people would just man up and say look I'm sorry for expressing how i feel out loud. Next time i will just keep my racist biggotry to myself. What he's doing now is just making it worse. I have no respect for the guy.
