NFT: Jason Collins is teh ghey
 

NTTAWWT

He probably got hacked.

Not a very brave person. Waits until his 34 and a free agent currently out of the league, probably not ever to play again. Not sure why this is news, he's not really an "NBA player". He's a formber player. And that's the point of this coming-out stuff. Has to be someone with something to lose, else it's not bravery.

Hey guys -

I'm a 31-year-old systems engineer. I'm white. And I'm straight.

Yayyy im so happy for you!!!! Lets tell everybody!!!!!

Do you want to march in my parade? If I throw a parade it will send the message that I want to be a normal part of society.

Luke Walton and Richard Jefferson already came out as gay

as did alex smith

Oddly enough both Kwame Harris and this guy played at Stanford.

Who?

Is it just me, or are there an unproportionatly high number of NBA players named Jason?

Alex Smith has the best looking wife in the NFL and he runs the best charity in all of sports

I keep hearing media acting like this is earth shattering, while the public seems to be pretty apathetic.

Imagine that with Stanford being located in a San Francisco suburb.

BEARD

lol holy **** at this photo

Good for him

@aidsinmymouth as a twitter handle seemed to give it away.

:thumb:

And **** A-Rod

Does that thing deserve at NSFW spoiler tag?

People are so ****ing ignorant. Not sure why everyone has to make it their own business. Just ****ing childish if you ask me.

I don't get it. Looks like a typical KU Football tailgate party to me.

yup, she's definitely a beard

She's freaking unreal, whatever she is.

on that we agree

Jesus. Good on you Alex. She might replace Kelly Croyle.

lol mike wallace you idiot

If you were another center on another team, and he "posts up" on you...is it still a basketball move, or did you just have an experimental moment in your life?

How did he announce it? It's been a great season and we're about to get eliminated by the Bulls. By the way I like cock.

+1

Good for him! about time, so now we can move passed all this.

:clap: LMAO

What was wrong with his tweet? I don't see anything remotely offensive about that.

[QUOTE=Alex Smith 4Ever;9643670]Luke Walton and Richard Jefferson already came out as gay



My god that picture is GAY.

Racist and sexist. Possibly anti-Semite.

The reason why he's an idiot is not because he tweeted something terrible, its because the entire world is just breathlessly waiting for an athlete, somewhere, anywhere to say the slightest thing that might look like non-acceptance so they can jump all over his ass.

This should have been obvious to anyone who is not a complete moron. There is no upside, whatsoever, to speaking out unless it is somehow supportive.

This and the Tebow news was like a gift to twitter today.

Let's all keep an open mind about this. Just because he's a professional athlete, doesn't automatically make him a top in the relationship.

Exactly! A 7' bottom is probably more common than any of us realize.

Nah, Mrs. Croyle is a lot better I think

Got these from Deadspin, Tony Parker's reaction on twitter to the Jason Collins news:

Bruce Bowen's reaction on twitter to the Jason Collins news:

Mike Wallace obviously doesn't use the same PR person.

Why the **** would he even tweet that? ROFL

I know. Silence is golden. Do not DARE step out of bounds here. Everyone must agree.

His wife is decent. Nothing to go gaga over. And you make that statement about his wife after seeing every football player's wife in the league? Yeah right. You're just jealous she gets his dick and you don't. STFU Alex Smith cocktroll.

Hilarious. Keep the jokes comin.

If those guys are midgets is that stevieray on the far right?

It's not a joke. I honestly think blondes are less better looking than brunettes as a whole. Therefore she's decent to me.

What the hell is this?

Seriously, I'm not making this up. Your posts scream homoerotic tendencies.

NTTAWT

Funny he did all of this to get signed.


"oh noez! I came out and now no one will sign me!" If not...

well, yeah. Of course. If anyone actually does tweet or comment to the media something really offensive or derogatory about Collins, then before the week is out they will be branded the next John Rocker, and be a hated pariah for the rest of their career.

holy shit, you are a systems engineer? do you need a job?

So a mediocre journeyman NBA player nearing the end of his career outs himself to the biggest sports mag around, getting a cover, huge story, and all kinds of coverage.

Yup I'm sure this is for all the right reasons...

As if there would be that many people at KU football game.

Good step for gay America here. Pretty brave move based on some of the ignorant statements already coming out.

lol at people not thinking this is news.

Sports Illustrated is the most influential sports publication in history.

You're posting on a message board for the worst team in the NFL.

is that a Wayans brother in the middle???

Kerry Rhodes is gay too.

no additional job is needed...

...unless it pays a crapton :thumb:

He's an attention whore. Lots of people are gay. Nobody cared about him, but now he's a huge story. Come out to your family and friends, not Sports Illustrated FFS. If being gay isn't suppose to be a big deal, quit making it a big deal.

This is prob the biggest issue i have with it all...

being a professional athlete coming out of the closet is a pretty big deal for the gay community, I'm sure.

They aren't considered equal people and that's because of the stupid bible that people have been told to worship.

So when they are considered equal people, then we can say that it's not a big deal anymore when someone famous comes out or whatever.

They talked about this alllllll fuuuuuucking daaaaaaay.

This thread's a pretty good example of why it's taken this long for someone to come out.

Jesus Christ.

Also, I love how many people seem to be annoyed at someone talking about a fundamental facet of their lives. Oh no, a column you don't have to read that reflects how a not-insubstantial portion of the population feels about their own lives! Better mock it/say how NOT interested you are or else someone might think you're a halfway decent person.

On one hand, pffffft what's the big deal about someone's sexuality? On the other, how DARE someone acknowledge it publicly when they've felt intense social pressure to never reveal it to anyone ever and it's had huge consequences for their relationships with other people for their entire life.

Especially when their acknowledgment might give someone else the courage to live their life in a more happy, healthy manner. "Euuuuuuugh, grody!" - Straight White Male, arbiter of relevance

Random person: Hey Jason, we've heard reports that you are gay. Is that true?

Jason: Oh yeah, I'm gay. You didn't already know that?

That would be a much less drama queenish way to do this. If the person in question acts like it's normal, maybe everyone else might too. Making a spectacle out of it only makes it seem like a gimmick to those detached from the situation.

This.

What a strange thing to have any kind of "issue" with.

He wrote a column for SI. The media picked it up because it seems to represent a (positive) development for a not insignificant proportion of the population.

Assuming he didn't appear at your doorstep in the middle of your dinner desperate to discuss the topic with you personally at great length, you really should be able to find a way to struggle on, sans any "issues" with it.

why exactly would there be reports of him being gay? I don't think anyone suspected it and if he continued to live his life privately, it never would have come up (out?).

Maybe if YOU would act like it was normal, maybe everyone else might to.

I find it pretty funny that there are a ton of "life" threads here, telling others about how they lost their jobs, family members are sick and need prayers, what their new workout regimen is, bought a new home, etc. Should I be annoyed that I don't post messages like "I haven't moved residences!" "I'm not at the gym right now!" "My significant other DOESN'T have AIDS!" "I still go to work every day!"

People who are annoyed that he is talking about it crack me up. Do I run around screaming at the top of my lungs that I'm straight? is the dumbest form of logic I've heard. And before anyone tries to say that CP is a family and therefore warrants the discussions, just take note of how most of the NBA community has responded. They are specifically calling it the NBA Family and giving him support.

Yeah, it's been just awful. Everyone is just gay bashing in this thread.

The most interesting thing to me about this whole story to me is that so many of the gay rights supporters seem pissed that there is so little outrage. I haven't seen anyone freak out over a gay athlete, but I've seen plenty of people bashing religious people for being hateful.

I support the cause, but the martyr complex is out of control. I would think that the narrative to come from this would be that a gay player came out and was almost universally accepted.

The most negative reactions so far seem to be people saying "who cares" or Mike Wallace saying that he doesn't get why a guy would want to get with another guy. I don't see anyone grabbing a rope. This is a perfect chance for gay rights activists to extend an olive branch, but it's just another occasion to throw stones, it seems. Keep wondering why the cause is progressing so slowly, though. It must be everyone else's fault, especially those piece of shit bigoted, hateful Christian mother****ers.

Fine post.

Seems like you're lumping only the negative comments together from various people and then applying it to all straight white men in the world.

You are just as ignorant and hateful as those you attempt to castigate when you do such things.

LOL, they have no interest in "peace". They want to force their agenda on people who frankly don't like it. Nobody cares if Collins is gay or not. But dammit, you WILL hear about it and you WILL accept it! If not? Then you're an awful evil person who should be executed or jailed. Even the NFL just issued a tolerance demand on their teams yesterday.


Soon they will be added in the protected class, i.e. affirmative action and quotas. You heard it here first. Remember me when Congress starts up the debate in about 10 years.

With the small exception of large swathes of morons that, for the sake of this discussion, I shall call "Christians". Other than that oppressed minority, you're right. There are non-christians that have a problem with homosexuality also, I suppose I shouldn't leave them out.

You'd think people that believe a sky fairy answers their prayers (and often times the prayers of people they know from internet, if what goes on here is any indication) would be more open minded. Alas, it is not so.
