Hardaway's comments may be honest. But it wasn't that long ago that professional athletes may have had similar comments referring to players of African origin. Things have changed drastically since Jackie Robisnon took the field with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is just a matter of time before openly gay athletes are playing professional sports.

I find it sad how minority players, such as Chris Carter. Can complain about racism in the NFL. Then openly criticize a former team mate for not coming out of the closet. Discrimination isn't soley based on race alone.
