Here’s some video from Miami Fox affiliate WSVN on former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway‘s homophobic reaction to John Amaechi‘s coming out. It’s been a while since we’ve heard someone sound so unabashedly ignorant – it’s refreshing. And by that we mean, disturbing.
Listening to the audio, however, one can’t help but wonder if Hardaway’s a little touched, if you know what we mean. He can barely even pronounce homophobic. No wonder he didn’t have the chops to stay in the NBA…

You’re right. It’s actually refreshing to hear someone being honest about his feelings instead of making nice and hiding his true opinions. Doesn’t make any less of a total hateful asshole, but at least he’s honest about being a totally hateful asshole.

2 things:
1. I’m actually glad he said what he said. I prefer to know who the homophobes are.
2. I can’t believe, at one point in time, I actually had that douche on my fantasy basketball team. If he were still playing and a good point guard and was on my team, I don’t care how much he would help my stats… I’d drop his ass like yesterday’s newspaper.

Tim is a freak. I can’t believe he has the nerve to judge someone… HE’S BLACK!!! Does he want people to say “I won’t play with black”? You may think it isn’t the same but I assure you that it is exactly the same thing. He’s black at no choice of his own… and it’s pathetic that he thinks that anyone (man or woman) would want to get down his pants. EVERYONE DOESN’T LOVE YOU AND WANT TO HUMP YOU MR. HARDAWAY. YOU AREN’T GOD’S GIFT. Get off yourself and let people be who they are. You wouldn’t catch people saying the don’t want to play with “bitch-gangstas”, but maybe they should. As far as I’m concerned, you deserve two judgemental strikes against you: 1. for being one of those “I think I’m cool and people want me and I’m the best (ALL YOU CAN DO IS A THROW A BALL) AND 2. You are an idiot.
That interview with you was trying to prove a point and all you could do is say Wade wasn’t gay and either are you. If that is all you got out of that interview than all you really can do is throw a ball. God bless America if an adiot like you can make more money than a person with even a glimpse of a brain.
