Whitlock: Display of Honesty and Stupidity
Quotable: Hardaway is too stupid to realize that racism and hate denied black people inalienable, American rights for hundreds of years. People with Tim Hardaway's mindset tried to keep people who look like Tim Hardaway out of professional sports and every other highly sought profession. - Jason Whitlock

Hardaway Displays Honesty and Stupidity
At first, Tim Hardaway's stupidity provoked a chuckle. He couldn't be serious. Not in these politically correct times. His remarks on Dan LeBatard's radio show in Miami had to be some sort of elaborate skit to promote John Amaechi's book. Asked to comment on the former NBA role player's decision to announce that he's gay, Hardaway decided to be John Rocker honest.

My Response: My thoughts on the subject of gay athletes coming out after playing is still the same..I consider it hiding in the closet and dishonest towards ones team-mates. Although I don't in any way support Hardaway's comment in regard to having a gay team-mate around. We would be way off to not think that former and present day players share the same sentiment. Hardaway basically "Bernie Mac'd" his opinion for them. He said what some of the players can't say or come close to saying...At least not while the NBA is paying them millions to run, jump, dribble and wear a tie. My problem is still that these "now out" athletes are going to the bank playing the "victim" of a self imposed situation. The claim of not being accepted and ridiculed is the reason, comments like Hardaways support it, but the missing link is that the unsuspecting team-mates never got the chance to either accept or reject.
