"I Hate Gay people" Tim Hardaway

[Sebastian]

I couldn't agree with you more! I know I'm gonna be in the minority here but oh well, some of you are confused if you don't think what Tim Hardaway said was protected by his first amendment right, then you really need to take some law an government classes. Case in point, the Klu Klux Klan and the American neo Nazi's are all given the freedom of speech when they hold rallies out on public an spew their hateful ideals, according the first amendment you are allowed to say what you want to say as long as it does not incite violence or fear, both mentioned groups do both but are still protected but Tim Hardaway says he doesn't like gays or "hates" gays an he faces this huge backlash an a bunch a tree hugging hippies all wanna wanna condemn him? people need to get their damn priorities straight, I could understand had he said something along the lines of wishing harm up on them or trying to incite people to go out an commit harmful acts against the gay community but he didn't he simply stated how he felt and because he's a celebrity theres a huge uproar.

The thing is Ms.L has a point it seems more and more rights are disappearing, Habeas Corpus is becoming non existent. I guess some of you would be happy if there was a law that said "Everyone must think alike, speak alike , and embrace the gay community with open arms" So says I King George Bush the 2nd this day in April 2007. All I'm saying is the shit is ridiculous an David Stern needs to be replaced as it is, he's made the NBA so boring an lame.

I hate muslims.

yes in a perfect situation if he was outside campaining his beliefs with fellow gay bashers he is protected, But when you use your position within the NBA to spew your hateful thoughts then you are breaching your first amendment right. Simply put the NBA does not tolerate racism, biggotry etc, just like a normal job in the United States, you can not use your plateform to bash someones beliefs or race of any sort no company in its right mind would tolerate this.

this is not a point of his first amendment the point is he used his position within the NBA to bash someone for being gay on the radio, he made the NBA as a whole look terriable, there are alot of children that look up to these stars. When you sign a contract to any job there is always a cluase to protect the company and its people from issues like this, hence why he was fired the next day by the NBA.

N stern has done a great job with the NBA. Points have increased the overall excitment of the game has gone up since he has taken ove rhis new rules have really quickened the game.

I'd place that more on Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, the dazzing young all stars, and the occasional fighting with the fans..

But yes, the new rules are good, games used to be wayyyy toooo long..
