I hate to say it...but the Nets would get some additional fans to the arena....just to see a gay player. Figure....give the guy eight minutes in the first half and another eight in the second half. Folks get to see ‘their’ guy, and they spend $180 on tickets, parking, beer, and hotdogs per person. Figure at least one thousand per night for the likely ten games that he’s around, and that’s just over a million in extra capital from just some gay guy on the court.
If you signed up some lesbian Chinese gal to play with the Knicks....same deal.
We could have an entire season with twenty teams signing a player here and there....the blind guy, the leper, the trans-gender, the illegal Latino, the lost cousin of Larry Bird, and WWE-wrestler-pretending-to-be-a-Laker.
Gimmicks work. That’s the American way.
Yes! The 2014 version of Manute Bol and Muggsie Bogues on the same court.
The socialist queer loving mayor of NYC will give Collins the the keys to the city.
