The NBA has a heightened awareness of homophobia these days -- first, there was Kobe Bryant's anti-gay slur towards a ref last month and more recently -- Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah was fined for hurling a similar slur on the court. We stopped by the barbershop to see how you feel about homophobia in sports.

What do you think about these recent incidents?

Is the NBA strict enough on athletes' use of anti-gay slurs?

Do you think less of the athletes when they yell homophobic slurs during games?

How can the NBA change to way athletes behave when it comes to this kind of language?
