The Snickers commercial made a big broo-ha-ha during the Superbowl. One guy starts to eat a Snickers, then his buddy snags a bite, and then another…and finally their lips meet. Heaven forbid….and then they decide to do something “manly” to cleanse themselves. OK, so that was a bit homophobic….but it was funny!

Tim Hardaway was a very good point guard for the Warriors before he blew out his knee and went on to play some mediocre ball for the Heat. I was a fan of his ability, even though he was a bit on the dim side when it came to his verbal skills. Those skills became more evident this past week with the coming out of a former NBA player, and he was rightfully banished from future NBA events by David Stern.

Is Tim Hardaway a bad person? Since I don’t know him, I don’t know - but I’d say probably not. Does he dislike gay people? Yeah, that is apparent by his remarks. Can he be “fixed” in the future? I’d like to think so, as history has shown us many people who have had negative thoughts, feelings or opinions about certain “types” of people, and had an about-face because of some life-altering encounter.

For an about-face, go the video store and rent “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.” An awesome movie that was decades ahead of its time, and a movie that holds up today, 40 years post release.
