His comments are obviously abhorrent. I see them as having come from a place of fear in Tim. I just don't see him as the kind of person that sincerely "hates" anyone.
I may be wrong. Or not. I suppose I'll never really know. I mean, it's not like I really know him or anything. I suppose I just choose to believe that he's not the hateful person he sounded like with that statement.
Maybe, maybe not, but he chose to say them on national radio. There’s probably a lot of other celebrities and regular people that do or did share those thoughts. Magic Johnson and Dwanye Wade have LGBTQ sons. I don’t think they would take comments like that very well if I a teammate said something similar. Whether it be 10 weeks or years ago.
