Other Sports NFT: Jason Collins is teh ghey - Page 7

Brooklyn · 04-30-2013, 06:23 AM

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.

One thing I found interesting in this story is that Collins has a twin brother who is not gay.

That's almost as crazy as having a twin that was the opposite sex

From a testing perspective, a researcher cannot really eliminate genetics in testings and as close as you can get is identical twins.

Good for him, now it's time to move along. When is Tebow coming out?

Sigh. Another attention whore is just what we need.

Do the people who claim their only criticism of Jason Collins is that he's "making a big deal" out of his sexuality by coming out in such a public way have a problem with the guys (and occasional gal) in Buck's New Dating Megathread "making a big deal" about their dating escapades? Would you have a problem if a gay planeteer started chronicling his dates in a CP thread?

No, because that is a relevant topic to that thread.

However, if the planeteer started his or her own thread and it just said "HAY EVERYONE IM GAI SO EVERYONE POSIREP ME" I'd be a bit annoyed, as I am here.

It's only relevant because Buck started the thread in the first place. Collins is starting a new public thread.

Collins public statement is noteworthy because it's such a rarity. When it becomes more commonplace, no one will be coming out in the pages of SI. I just don't see much reason to be annoyed by Collins' action. I agree with Saul Good that there is plenty to disagree with when it comes to other aspects of gay rights activism though.

OK so Collins is the OP.

Will his thread turn out to be one of the megathreads that has to be archived, closed, and continued in a new thread?
