Too bad he's a shitty player and plays on the Wizards. Still, congratulations are in order. The closet isn't a nice place to be in. See: HMZ.

It doesn't bother me at all that gay and lesbian athletes come out of the closet. I have no problem with it at all.

Like I said. I am a straight male. I don't care what people do. I am not out to lynch anyone so she might as well give it up. Learn the concept that she is an equal in my eyes.

[demolition23]

Good for him. It's a shame in a way that it's not some bigger deal player. Looking at his stats/age, this guy must be nearly done. However, maybe it took soemone with less to lose/more to gain from the attention to take the first step.

The biggest moment will be when some highly touted prospect in the NFL comes out before the draft and still gets drafted high.

The vitriol against him on Chicago sports radio yesterday made me sad. He just wants to be who he is. Openly.

Next up out of the closet: Lebron James and IRG3.

You forgot Andrew Luck and Tim Tebow too.

So what if they did?

I want celebration for the players who admit they are heterosexual. Why should anyone celebrate this guy? He's a human and doesn't deserve praise for being "brave" and admitting his sexuality. This shit gets too hyped up. Fuck him.

Psst Levi: I told you so.

You're the same kind of guy who wonders why there isn't a White History Month aren't you?

It wouldn't be if they were treated by first class citizens to begin with. Do that, and it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Back to Collins. I'd boo him too. Scalabrine can outplay that man.

You have a point. Hollywood is really blowing that whole baseball integration thing way the hell out of proportion with that "42" movie too. I mean really, who cares, right?

Awesome parody bro.

Tim Tebow: "I'm a Christian."

Media: "Keep it to yourself."

Jason Collins: "I'm gay."

Media: "What an inspiration!"

[demolition23]

Tim Tebow: "I'm a Christian."

I've not seen the media say that.

Jason Collins: "I'm gay."

Yes, because being the first out gay man in a major sport is exactly like being the 8,941st guy to thank God in professional sport.

[UtahRatt]

I vision a day where "don't fucking care" is the way it's life is. I don't a give a fuck or want to hear about it. suck a dick or eat a pussy, no one needs to know or make a big deal about it.

Yes gays are still repressed, let's fix it, become equal and move the fuck on.

Agreed there!

Well said!

Pretty sure I've heard/seen this "Tebow guy" in the media just a bit...

[FullDJacket]

Jason Collins: "I'm gay."

There was a super bowl a few years ago where both coaches were openly practicing christians...and black. So that's not fair IMO.

Jason Collins: "I'm gay."

That might be relevant if it were Rome circa 300 AD or so.

You have a point. Hollywood is really blowing that whole baseball integration thing way the hell out of proportion with that "42" movie too. I mean really, who cares, right?

I know I don't care. Baseball is terrible and I don't care about some black guy who played it and paved the way for anyone. He's on the same level as my postman; I just don't give a damn.

Yeah, because in situation where people of one race are not allowed to do a sought after job that people of another race are, it's the nature of the job that is the real issue.

Good God this sort of shit brings out the weakest of arguments.

I really hope that's sarcasm.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

Racist AND retarded is no way to go through life, son.

[bigbuttskinner]

Any sport outside of football is pointless to me. So I don't care about some pioneer of baseball or gay basketball. And the fact that these people are celebrated boggles the mind.

Again - you really don't quite get it. The sport is moot, it's the barrier that's broken down and the door that's opened up that matter. Doesn't matter whether it's football, baseball, the catholic church, a corporate boardroom, or an elected position.
