oh goodness

tim hardaway, the former nba player, recently gave a radio interview where he said he hates gay people and that they should not be allowed in the world. the comments came after the public coming out of first nba player. the nba has now barred hardaway from activities surrounding the all-star game, though he has since apologized for his comments. but, what is the deal with this? what is wrong with people that they say these things? ideally, we could stop them from thinking it as well, but i'm a practical person, that will take more time. but don't people who could potentially be role models understand they have to live their lives with a little more respect for what they say and do (i'm talking about michael richards, isaiah washington, britney spears, mel gibson, marv albert, bill clinton... the list goes on and on)
