I realize few people reading this know who David Stern is. For the record he’s the commish of the NBA, and he’s not to thrilled with the dude who “hates gays.”
Upon learning of the remarks Wednesday, NBA Commissioner David Stern immediately removed Hardaway from any subsequent league-related appearances and commented on the entire matter.
“It is inappropriate for him to be representing us given the disparity between his views and ours,” Stern said in a statement to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Personally, I think it’s nice to live in a world where a person faces consequences for being an idiot. You can be bigoted all you want but don’t expect corporate America to follow you into the abyss. I mean these guys run the WNBA. Recognize.
