    NBA Player Jason Collins comes out.

    I don't feel like this should be included in the other thread since it's discussing gay marriage.

    I find it funny because Phil Jackson said he believes there are no gay atheletes in the nba

    Good for him. It's a shame this is newsworthy, it really shouldn't matter.

    Agreed.

    "Hey I was bullied in school, can I get on Oprah?"

    "Are you gay?"

    "No"

    "Then nope."

    What a strange society we have.

    Free agent after this season, dont see anyone picking him up due to his special snowflake syndrome that will divide a lockerroom and team.

    I wouldn't see it being news as a negative. This is big for all sports, not just the NBA.

    Good for him but I do not really think it is news worthy.

    It's a negative because someone's sexual orientation shouldn't matter. I understand it's big being the first professional athlete ofr a major sport in the US to announce he is gay, but I wish people were accepting enough for it not to matter. One day.

    What I want to know is will any flagrant fouls thrown his way be prosecuted as a hate crime?

    Unfortunately, sexuality threads aren't allowed here.
