I have yet to understand why people get lambasted for stating that they oppose a certain "view". America is WIDELY divided over homosexual behavior so why is it such a shock that a basketball player has some issues? He didn't say "I'd kill the gay guy", he said he would distance himself. The NBA getting involved is just another instance of a corporation dictating what type of personal life, and personal thoughts a person can have IMO.
One of the best lines I've ever heard goes something like this, in regards to America: "..the only way you can claim America is free is when you can stand up and claim your beliefs AND sit down while another claims those that vehemently oppose you..." As for the NBA's positions, they are still trying to clean up their rep and this is just another blemish in their eyes.

Try some of these words for instance, and read it out loud and see what kind of effect it has on you: Old White Black Rich Poor Fat

But I suppose that 50 years ago, someone would have said that America was "widely divided" over those issues as well.

 With this in principal. What happens is when people say this kind of stuff it often sound like their spouting off. Perhaps he should have express that he does not agree or support that kind of behavior and would prefer not associating with those who practice it. That would be his right to do so and to say so. IMHO.Quote:
