Former NBA Star Tim Hardaway: 'I Don't Like Gay People and I Don't Like to Be Around Gay People'. It's going to be a long, long week on ESPN, and when those who are gay start talking about wanting "more than just tolerance" it's going to get hairy. If they want more than just tolerance, I think I should be able to tolerate any behavior. But we obviously cannot do that, yet it is the path we are heading for.
