They have a Russian owner.

I think it is awesome we have an openly gay player. I do hope to see the day that this is no longer news though.

ESPN is still covering the incognito story for 12 hours a day though so...

 

[RoboticDreams]

ESPN is trash. I don't even watch that TMZ-esque network anymore.

 

[bksballer89]

I only watch espn for sports and first take/mike&mike

 

[BOTSLAYER]

I stop in every once in a while to the Herd, and then they cut away every 3 minutes to talk about that BS. Sucks that CBS radio is so much more finicky to get to work right.

Best of luck to him and Brooklyn.

Why do cavemen get so upset over this? lol.

 

[RoboticDreams]

^^^ Where's your favorite caveman pic?

Announcer just said "Gasol just got whacked by Collins".

Takes it to a whole new meaning now.

If you don't think this is only news worthy because he is gay, do you think he would have a post game press conference if he never told us he was gay?

 

[shitsho]

Its news only because he is gay but it is good news. When a scrub (basketball wise) like Collins stops getting press because he is gay we will have advanced as a species.

 

[piss-tons]

D Will dropped 30 but I see a bunch of highlights of Collins getting fouled setting screens etc...

Of course it's a big deal. And very newsworthy.

Was it a big deal when Chuck Cooper became the first black NBA player in 1950?

Human progress is what it's called. Until the day comes where every gay athlete is accepted, stuff like this will be news!

Shameless PR stunt by the Nets. Do queers have no shame? Apparently not.

There were a myriad of better options the Nets COULD have made. They chose to go the PR route.

Jason Collins is a fucking scrub. Period.

You have the hots for him, don'cha?

Admit it buddy!

 

[kramer1]

Jason Collins has averaged 3.5 points a game for his entire career. Stop the presses and Order the Rings!

Over the last half of his career he's averaged less than a point per game.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

You think he's in the news for his skills as a baller?

Can you read and comprehend?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Can you read and comprehend?

Can you?!? You're going on about his stats when clearly it has nothing to do with numbers.

Collins sucks and should not be worthy of any news. so what if he's gay, he should get the same recognition as Jarvis Varnado or lowlevel player signing a 10-day contract. Media making a big deal out of nothing. There were gay NBA players in the 80s that other players knew about yet those dudes were all treated like any other team mates. Nothing wrong with keeping to yourself, though.
Personally I think Collins is a dumb #@# because he has money, fame and education to get quite a few superhot quality women but turns that down. I'd never understand that kind of "decision"
