I'm just glad Scoop got at the real issue by asking how Hardaway would handle it if those roving gangs of gay children beat up on Timmy's kid in retaliation.

Every time I leave my house, I'm afraid to get jumped by a gang of gay teenagers...

Tim, how would you feel if a white man said what you said (about homosexuals) about blacks?

He'd say, "I don't listen to Rush no more."

I always thought Timmie was the apotheosis of the ex-jock commentator (for the two weeks that ESPN paid him). Forget analysis, he couldn't even spew cliches correctly.

Is it just me, or have there been more stupid/insensitive comments by celebrities in the last 12 months than any other 12-month-period in history?

Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, Isaiah Washington, Tim Hardaway have covered Jewish people, black people, and gay people. Who's going pick on the short, the fat and the ugly?

Hardaway played 11 seasons in Golden State and Miami. Apparently there were no gay people in either location...

I don't know if this was covered previously, but Hardaway changed the name of his Miami car wash from "Tim Hardaway Presents US1 Finest Hand Carwash" to "Grand Luxe Auto Bathe." He's clearly trying to reach out to the community.

@Philistine:

I posted this yesterday in the Trade Deadline thread, but will repost it here:

I know it's been said, but for fun, take the word "gay" out of the Hardaway interview and put in "black" instead.

Yes. You know, we were brought up to not even condone or associate yourself with a black person. If you knew of a black person, disassociate yourself with them.

When we was growing up Scoop, if we saw black people or whatever, we ran across the street. We got away from them. Our parents, our friends, our families knew that that wasn't right. We didn't want to be around that and they definitely didn't want us kids around it. And it's not that they hated black people, they just felt they it wasn't right.

I just don't condone [being black]. When I see black people holding hands or kissing in the streets, I just don't think that's right.

I should have just said that I wouldn't want to be on the same team with a black person...

@The Claudine Longet Firearm Training Academy & RF - couldn't agree more. This is a Scoop at his jock-sniffing, sycophantic worst. Except this time, instead of his customary and relatively benign meathead brown nosing, he is lending legitimacy to hate by presenting it as "opinion". This piece is puffery at it's most sinister - and I SERIOUSLY question Will's judgement in praising it; even in a back handed fashion.

Substitute "black" for "gay" in Hardaway's comments, and I'm sure there were a few southern governors who made similar arguments in the 1950s.

If you turn off the TV cameras and microphones, I'm sure there are southern governors that made that argument last week.

Blackguard — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 10:58:28 EST

People really think this was a good interview? Sorry...I don't. If Scoop is that "tight" with Hardaway and a "serious" journalist, I want this question asked:

Tim, how would you feel if a white man said what you said (about homosexuals) about blacks?

I'm unaware of anyone asking Hardaway this question and I'd like to know why.

TheStarterWife — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 10:33:55 EST

This is the part I find interesting -

Learning that gay people are really no different than a lot of other people. Learning that they work hard, they do things in the community, they are responsible for building parks, rec centers,providing safe environments for kids, just things I had never associated with them before.

This after he spoke about being raised to believe being gay was not right.

Why do I think little Timmy Hardway was raised to avoid gay people because they are all child molesters? Bad Parents Hardway... bad.

@ForTheShorties:

Great fight. Would have loved to see the look on the Ottawa bench when they realized that Buffalo sent the goons out with the last line change as the home team, against their scoring line (SC1 v SC4 for those that just know video game hockey).

Nothing better than a goalie fight. Peters got tossed for the third man in on that, right?

And for that game to go to PS's? Nice...

The great thing about the interview is that Hardaway admits he would not be close with his 'boy' Scoop if Scoop came out of the closet. That's very Christian of you, Timmy. I'm a Catholic, but I LOVE the hypocrisy of the religious nuts.
