NBA does it right...

First, John Amaechi is really terrific. He has been coming out for a few days and is making a serious impact on the sports world.

Second, I just sent this letter to the NBA (at nba.com) in response to this.

I want to commend you in your actions following the anti-gay remarks made by Tim Hardaway. In my opinion, you were swift, deliberate and right to not support intolerance. I now see the NBA with a depth I had not known was there and will make it my primary choice in sports viewing.

Get ready to have basketball-watching parties at our apartment. (Maybe Jimmy will learn new hors-d-ouvres for basketball season.)
