The point of my commentary on this is, if a guy is a good basketball, football, baseball, etc., player, then cool let them play. I could care less what their sexual orientation is. Of course there are going to be dumb comments and statements from other athletes which has already happened more than once today, but that's life and it would happen regardless. Is anyone going to stop playing? No. Will the sport look any different? Nope. Maybe if it was 1982 this would've been a huge circus, but now days...who really cares?
I'm sure some of you will say that this is a bold move, a brave one, and you're right. To be the first to put this kind of spotlight on himself the way Jason Collins has was a brave move, but in reality should it be THAT big of a deal? Others may say it's all for publicity, and you may be somewhat right as well. A free agent picked a hell of a time to become the most talked about player in the league, but who are we to judge?
He's gay, he's out, cool let's move on. Maybe if other players feel comfortable doing the same now and thus live happier lives after doing so, cool.....but how about we just get back to business as usual on the court? Sounds good.
