NBA center Jason Collins on Monday announced that he's gay in a story for Sports Illustrated, becoming the first active player in a major American team sport to announce that he is gay...

Good for him. I didn't realize that no other active player had come out before in the four major leagues.

Welp.

He played in 6 games this past year, so probaly wouldn't be in the NBA next year regardless of his sexual orientation. Can't wait for when he doesn't get signed next year. Everyone will say it is because he is gay, and ignore the fact that he is old and no longer any good at basketball.

Hadn't thought of that angle. If it's a ploy to get a sympathy year, then that's weak sauce.

False - 38 games last year, but 7' centers tend to be able to stay in the game long past when guards/forwards do.

Career 3.6ppg, 3.8rpg.

OK, so I just read a tweet on my phone about the subject.

"Jason figured this announcement was easier than saying he plays for the Wizards"

I am glad the guy stepped up and came out. It must have been a hard thing for him to do. However it is a bit of a coincidence that he did it now just as his NBA career seems to be very close to an end.

Actually, your stat is WRONG!!!!!!

He played 6 games with the Wizards, after being traded by the Celtics, where he played 32 games. So 38 games total.

I stand corrected (Damm Wikipedia). It does seem like he has some gas in the tank.

Gas, and possibly some sausage as well.

There is a flock of gay geese headed your way.
















BTW - I LOL'd at that.

Sneaky SOB. Now he gets to back his man down with a few butt bumps and his opponent is going to be skeeved out wondering if he is doing it on purpose.

I can't take it anymore.

I have something that I have wanted to say for a long time.




I am heterosexual.

There, I said it.

I feel much better now. I'm sorry if this will be the topic of many news and talk shows for the next week. I'm sorry that your young kids who do not understand sex have to hear all the talk. I'm sorry that you will have to carefully craft answers to their innocent questions. But I feel so much better now. It's all about me anyway. The world should be happy for me now.

I made the mistake of clicking on the comments for that story

I'm all for a gay man and a gay woman getting married.

Extremely stupid. Typical right-wing idiocy.


When Bush refused to acknowledge any of the thousands of American servicemen and women his lies killed in Iraq, not a peep out of them.

Should EVERY veteran that dies family get a call from the POTUS?

I believe they should, at a minimum, get a signed letter.

No argument from me. Least the country should do. Has any POTUS done that?
