Slightly insensitive comment by Phil the Zen master...

That is ridiculous. Just asked someone I know who is gay about those comments. He laughed. Its a metaphor with a tinge of humour and not putting anyone down.

Slightly? Should not have even warranted a mention. Must have been a slow NBA news day.

Yeah but you know how PC the US media is... You can't say anything these days without annoying someone.

I thought it was funny... Is that bad?

Just seems a dumb comment more than anything else.

Ridiculous. Props to Phil for a clever analogy. If someone has a problem, it has to be with the movie, and not Jackson's mention of it. Stupid.
