Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe scored another (off-the-field) award Tuesday, getting a Webby for his online work supporting same-sex marriage.

The award came a day after a breakthrough in gender issues in sports yesterday, when NBA center Jason Collins announced he was gay, the first active player in a major men’s American sport league to do so.

Isn't it funny how Jason Collins is never referred to as a "star" center?

I have no doubt it takes quite a guy to play at the NBA level for 12 years. But WHY is he never referred to as a "star"? Even by ESPN?

And yeah, my suspicious meter is up when a "star" happens to come out as gay in the twilight of his career. When he may have no other options for employment next year.

I'm sure his teammates must be thrilled to know that this guy was enjoying showering with them. REALLY enjoying it.

"Why does Jason spend 45 minutes in the shower? It's like he never leaves that place."
