So when Jason Collins, an NBA basketball player, announced this week that he was gay and became the first active athlete in the four major professional American sports leagues to come out of the closet, I was proud of him. And I was aroused, politically speaking.
He's the Jackie Robinson of homosexual basketball big men.
He's seven feet and 250 pounds of man-loving man.
And he's an aging center in the last days of his professional career who might not be signed by a team next season.
Homophobic basketball fans will disparage his skills, somehow equating his NBA benchwarmer status with his sexuality. But let's not forget that Collins is still one of the best 1,000 basketball players in the world. He has always been better than his modest statistics would indicate, and his teams have been dramatically more efficient with him on the court. He is better at hoops than 99.9 percent of you are at anything you do. He might not be a demigod, but he's certainly a semi-demigod. Moreover, his basketball colleagues universally praise him as a physically and mentally tough player. In his prime, he ably battled that behemoth known as Shaquille O'Neal. Most of all, Collins is widely regarded as one of the finest gentlemen to ever play the game. Generous, wise, and supportive, he's a natural leader. And he has a degree from Stanford University.
In other words, he's a highly attractive dude.

Jason Collins is using the media to his advantage. He was on the verge of being nameless before he pulled out his dick and yelled giddy-up!
...I don't give two shits about the NBA.

You aren't missing much, just some more racist rantings.
I don't have him on ignore because people like him remind me that I'm on the right side.

Exactly. Now even though he's not much of an NBA player, if they let him go he can claim it's due to his homosexuality.
Hey, whatever. I don't give two shits about the NBA.

While I do not envy Jason Collins, neither am I bothered or threatened by his coming out. As always, I don't know what makes it a big deal that someone is gay. I understand the significance of an active player coming out, but I'm with Charles Barkley. Collins isn't the only active gay player and there have been others before him, and it would be foolish for any of the straight players to believe otherwise.
I don't know, I guess that, in the 21st century, this shouldn't be an issue...
