First Openly Gay Athlete

[Socaliente]

NBA player Jason Collins has come out.

 

 

 

 

Good for him. He shouldnt have to hide anymore. Hope more players feel they dont have to live in the shadows anymore.

[Mile High Dreams]

Is Tebow next?

[nate]

Damn, I thought Adam finally made the pros.

[stevestevens]

Excuse me. Figure skating is a sport.

[bloodbrother]

I was gonna guess Kwame Brown

[Socaliente]

Excuse me. Figure skating is a sport.

Major Pro Sport. The ones people actually watch.

[Futch Winkleman]

I wonder how Kobe feels about this.

[Caralho]

I wonder how Kobe feels about this.

 

He is supportive. Ever since that incident where he called someone a fag, he has been quite supportive of gay people.

[mtangelsfan]

I doubt he gets much of a negative backlash at all.  I don't think it matters to most people.

Thats a good thing, I surprised it has taken this long for someone to come out.

[mtangelsfan]

There could be some locker room trash talk that some guys want to avoid, so in game comments that could be used to push buttons during a game.

[Spirit]

Weird that it took him so long.  The African American community is historically so supportive of gheys.

[Adam]

Right as he is entering his prime too! 

[stevestevens]

When does his identical twin brother jarron come out?

[Spirit]

Right as he is entering his prime too! 

 

Ha!  

[Adam]

I wouldn't worry too much about the other players, especially since we're talking about the NBA. Considering that basketball players are well-rounded persons, financially and socially responsible adults with college educations, I expect nothing but support on and off the hardwood.

[Blarg]

Saying Jason Collins is the first major sports figure to come out is like saying the North Koreans won the space race.

[Spirit]

So he's a free agent at the end of the season.  When no one signs him do you think there will be any talk that he wasn't signed because he was ghey or will people understand it's because he averages 1 point per game?

Lmao at Mike Wallace's response.

[Spirit]

Lmao at Mike Wallace's response.

 

 

This is what Mike wrote: “All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH.”

 

Then he followed it up with: “Never said anything was right or wrong I just said I don’t understand!! Deeply sorry for anyone that I offended.”

Isn't that a good thing for straight men? More women for the rest of us

 

Lol at Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen's tweets. Same exact one that was clearly done by whoever runs their accounts

[tomahawksu]

He's a jorneyman at best so why does it matter? Watching ESPN today, they have basically acted like he is a first ballet hall of famer for being so brave. They don't talk about his stats of course, they talk about, "how great of a teammate he is" or how hard he works. He played 38 games this year, he was HARDLY in the league. Now if it were a legit superstar, then talk about it, but it shouldn't matter.

 

Then again the NBA is a joke with the most crooked commissioner in sports, referees playing the spread, and players admitting they don't try during the regular season. Goodell would also never fine the Patriots for having Tom Brady, Gronk, and Hernandez sit out a game either, and then let the 49ers sit Kapernick, Willis, Aldon Smith, and Gore without a fine. Since that totally makes sense. David Stern is trash and so is the league, let me know when they start call traveling again, since every player carries the ball over on every dribble. Should be called the National "Basketball" Association. 

[m0nkey]

A gay guy could say:

"All these beautiful men in the world, and guys want to mess around with girls SMH"

[bloodbrother]

Hell yeah, works both ways. That's why It's all good for whatever your preference is

[Blarg]

You know what happens when a soccer player comes out of the closet and declares he is gay?

Victor and Jeff fight over who gets him for their fantasy team.
