Holy shit. Jason Collins is black?

Heh, reminds me of an old joke... what's better, being black or being gay?

 

Being black... you don't have to tell your parents that you're black.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

He averaged like 3 points per game this season. His sexual orientation is the least of his problems job wise.

You are giving him too much credit he barely averaged over a point per game this season.


Oh crap, you're right. I must've been looking at the stats of another bench warmer.

pffff I'm way blacker than he is



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Reported. Take your anti-gay slurs elsewhere.

His career is pretty much over so coming out now will give him little to no negative repercussions. On top of that he never was very relevant to begin with.


Pretty much. Anyone who follows the NBA or pro sports in general would know this. It's a lot easier for a  34-year-old journeyman free agent who was never that good to begin with to come out of the close than for a 22-year old youngster full of potential and a ton of years in the league ahead of him. I'm waiting for a gay athlete to tell the world either at the beginning of his career or in his prime.

I'm waiting for that too but at least it's a start. Hopefully, it'll inspire other athletes to come out.
