Active NBA Player Jason Collins Reveals Himself To Be Gay
NBA veteran Jason Collins becomes first male pro athlete to come out as gay - NBA News | FOX Sports on MSN
This shouldn't be a big deal, but no doubt it will be touted as such simply because he's still an active NBA player. I hope he's received the same inside NBA locker rooms, although homophobia is obviously still an issue. |

Mike Wallace, Big Free Agent Signing for the Dolphins, is the First Athlete to Say Something Dumb After Jason Collins Comes Out | Big Lead Sports
And Mike Wallace couldnt resist. But, good for Jason Collins. Nothing but support for this guy.

Re: Active NBA Player Jason Collins Reveals Himself To Be Gay
Good for him. Hope it doesn't harm his career, but I'd say his stint with the wizards probably already did that.

Good for him, I'm with wallace on the females part but I would never hate anyone that's gay, if your happy with someone that's the same sex as u then u shouldn't have to hide it. It's 2013 not 1913. I bet you'll see more come out sooner rather than later.

Re: Active NBA Player Jason Collins Reveals Himself To Be Gay
Sad that this qualifies as news or that people even think it affects them.

Re: Active NBA Player Jason Collins Reveals Himself To Be Gay
Good for him. This guy has the balls to come out. Now were waiting for the flamboyant four to come out in the NFL. That would be an even bigger step in sports.

Not a big deal to me. If he can play he can play.
Honestly though, I wouldn't want him on The wizards next year for the same reason I wouldn't want tebow on the skins. Media is going to be crazy with him unless more players come out following this announcement. I glad for him personally that this weight has been lifted and hope he can get endorsements out of it, but it might end his career. |
