NBA's Jason Collins comes out as gay

[GRIM]

I really don't follow basketball but...

 

Jason Collins, who played with the NBA's Washington Wizards this season, has disclosed that he is gay, making him the first active openly homosexual athlete in the four major American pro team sports.

 

Collins, who is now a free agent, made the disclosure in a column appearing in the upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated.

A center, Collins played with six NBA teams over the past 12 seasons and attended Stanford University.

Im sure there will be a landslide of guys coming out in sports now.  seems timely for collins to announce it at this point in time.  he'll probably hang around the league and collect a check for a few more years because of this whether or not teams could still use him. if he hadnt done so he could be at the end of the line.  

 

no shock either, from harvard westlake to stanford he always seemed fruity

Good for him for having the balls to step up to the plate and tell people who he really is!

[GRIM]

Yeah no big deal, but I wonder how his team mates feel about things after the game in the locker rooms showering and shit?

Its 2013 G....do you think anyone really gives a fuck?

[blackrican23]
