It Would Seem Tim Hardaway Has Come Around on The Whole Being Gay Thing

↵
↵Perhaps you weren’t around the internet, TV or any form of communication a few years ago when Tim Hardaway launched into that famous homophobic diatribe, but needless to say, it basically killed any career in hoops or media that Hardaway hoped to have after his playing days. Now the guy who openly said “I hate gay people” is putting his money to work at a charity event for The Trevor Project on Saturday. The Trevor Project is “a non-profit endeavor established to promote acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and to aid in crisis and suicide prevention among that group.”↵↵So yeah, it’s totally understandable if you’re confused -- as I am -- as to what the heck Hardaway has or wants to do with this group.↵

↵↵According to Riptide, Hardaway even offered to pay for all the food at the event and to meet with Geo Bustmante, a “local activist who wrote a widely circulated letter” at the time of Hardaway’s homophobic remarks.↵

↵↵I’m all for second chances. (I mean, maybe you can count this as a third chance, considering Dan Le Batard made it very clear what Hardaway said was wrong, and instead of recanting what he said, he went on with 10 times the force.) Here’s to hoping it’s a genuine move and not some sad, two-years-too-late PR move.↵
