Jason Collins

Unless you have been living under a rock, today NBA basketball player Jason Collins let it be known that he is a gay athlete.  This is seen as monumental because he is the first male athlete of one of the four major American professional sports teams to make this announcement while being a active player. (I use that loosely)  There has been overwhelming support for Jason Collins and his decision while others who could give zero f*cks about it.  These types of situations always seems to bring the people out one way or the other.  I have no rhyme or reason to this blog but a few things peaked my curiosity and I figured I share my thoughts since everybody else is.

1. I hope no NBA team takes away from Jason's "moment" and decides to sign him just because he is a openly gay male athlete and tries to gain monetarily from his decision.  There is some executive out there drooling at the idea of signing him.  Now granted if they did that would be capitalism at its finest and while I agree wholeheartedly that capitalism has no moral base they should let the man live. *editors note*  Change of heart naw f*ck that sign him and make all the money you can off of tickets, jersey sales, dildos with the team logo on it and whatever else you can sell.  Why do I say this?  That brings me to my next point...

2. If Jason Collins is not signed to another team which is highly possible there will be a ton of people saying it is because of his sexuality.  There will be all types of lawsuits claiming discrimination, protests and whatever else you can think of.  His sexuality will not be why he is not signed. I don't want to hear a single f*cking peep about it being because he is gay.  He sucks as a basketball player flat out.  Dude is 7'0 of sh*t point blank.  Check the stats for yourself.  If anybody sees me in the streets and even begins to mutter anything of his sexuality being held against him I will find the closest basketball and drill you in the face.  He is a 34 year old basketball player that has a career average of 3 points a game.  He just really sucks!


3. I know this a big deal because of him openly coming out and still being an active professional athlete but  have people not watched the WNBA?? I have some women in that league that I want on my "Secluded dark alley team".

4. Shout out to Chris Broussard for taking a stand for something he believes in.  As society today pushes for those to be more accepting of all those who are deemed  "different" why are those of popular opinions are lambasted by the media.  Shouldn't people be accepting of his viewpoint he feels since he certainly did not put Jason Collins down in any shape or form.

5. Has anybody checked in on Jason Collin's twin brother Jarron?  Imagine how he feels that anytime he tries to get a female they looking at him sideways like, "Yeah right we know you came out the closet".  Just imagine him trying to plead the case"but that really is my twin brother! "
