This pro basketball player who I never heard of named Jason Collins reportedly came out and admitted he was gay. And of course, everyone is opening their mouth with an opinion. Seems like everybody approves of this, Kobe Bryant expressed his appreciation and support. I'm not going to bash this guy or homosexuality but let's be honest, this isn't a big deal.
Keep in mind Jason Collins is not an All Star, not a champion, he's an unknown in the league. Check his stats, he never averaged double digit points in his 12 year career. While what he did was courageous, let's not blow this out of proportion. If you look at Collins's pictures, it was obvious that he was a little sweet from the start. An obscure player that we've never even played with in 2k doesn't change anything in the league. The NBA has already been taking a tolerant approach. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, all of the elite players are straight, it's not like there's gonna be an all gay starting lineup any time soon.
I might be taking a cynical approach to this but somebody has to.
