what does that mean?!! OMG

this is exactly whats going to happen

Jason Collins has positioned himself for a huge relevancy in the media and can milk this thing as a cash cow all the way to the next NBA season when nobody ****ing signs him. Media can spin it as "well no one signs him cause hes gay"

No, nobody signs him because hes a ****ing terrible player who is 100 years old and was an NBA journeyman regardless of his sexual preference.

Media will make it out that he's not signed because he came out.

In reality, he's a 34 year old journeyman who is so good, he's been let go by 6 teams.........so, in reality, it'll be because he sucks. That will be twisted to fit an agenda that has nothing to do with his sport or talent.

what agenda is that? Also, if anything...I think this extends his career.

Hey......Tim Tebow has some time available.

I'll bet these two are the first couple of professional sport.

[Iowanian]

So you're suggesting his career will be extended with nothing to do with his ability to play the game better than any other person qualified for the position?


And your question about the agenda at hand is?

You said the agenda has nothing to do with sport. If the agenda is what you think it is, it DOES have to do with sport

Alright, can we lock this thread until jason collins officially gets another job? If he never plays again, what't he point of even talking about him?

I agree that this might not be the landmark that it was made out to be, but before we lock the thread, I'd like to hear your response to post 330.

The problem is, nobody cares what you like.

Yeah that's probably true, but maybe people would be interested to hear about you. Why would you want to pick on them?

Who picks on gay people? There's only so many years you can cite the Matthew Shepherd case, or refer to the movie "Philadelphia". (Which wasn't real, Patteu FYI) Were you the one digging furiously through every pro athlete's Twitter trying to find anti-gay comments on this case, only to be left with Larry Johnson's (benign) posts?


It was you, wasn't it?

LeRoy Butler, former safety for the Green Bay Packers, was scheduled to give an anti-bullying presentation at a Wisconsin church this summer, but now the speech is off because he supported Jason Collins for coming out this week. Butler shared the following in a series of tweets today:

Wow, I was schedule to speak at a church in WI, and a member said that the pastor wants to cancel my event, I said ok why?*Then I was told, because I said congrats to Jason Collins on twitter, I said really? we have a contract, he said check the moral cause.*FYI the fee was $8500,then I was told if I removed the tweet, and apologize and ask god forgiveness, I can have the event, I said no.

Then later:

I found out what happened, I guess some parents went to the church and complained about my tweet for support of Jason Collins, so sad.

Butler believes the church’s decision constitutes bullying. In fact, when he tried to resolve the situation with the church’s pastor by saying, “We agree to disagree,” the anti-gay pastor countered, “No, I’m right and you’re wrong.”
