Collins did not dismiss the latter notion or address it.

And then the article continues on ad nauseam doing exactly that.

He should go get a pick up game with Obama and Reggie Love.

Sounds like Collins needs to join the presidential pity party:

“Or is there something more sinister at work”

Yes, those 2000 year old apprehensions of indecency are so sinister. I can imagine a James Bond movie where 007 faces off against the homophobic NBA officials who won’t sign this poor guy.

Or play "horse" with Magic Johnson.

Looks like those two fellas are waiting for Jason Collins! Three is NOT a crowd in the bathhouse.

Or is there something more sinister at work related to the new role he would play?

May favorite part of the Slimes article.

“Another advocate for gay athletes, Hudson Taylor, the executive director of Athlete Ally, wrote in an e-mail: “The decision to sign him rests with individual team owners. One of them has to step up.”

Now somebody HAS to sign crappy players just to indulge delusions that sodomy doesn’t rub most people the wrong way. This entire agenda seems to be predicated upon erecting a fantasy land.

It sounds like the “openly gay” NBA lifestyle isn’t working out for Joyce. “In Your Face” bull**** does tend to grate on normal people’s nerves.

Jason Collins is a fourth-rate, bench-warming, garbage-time mop-up scrub.

That’s why he’s without a team.

Having seen him play last season, I can safely say that he is unsigned because he is indescribably bad at the game of basketball. "Useless" doesn't quite do his game justice.

Amazing that all but a couple of the commenters saw through the PC hype... even in the New York Times... and called him what he was: a mediocre-at-his-best center who was way, way, way past his prime. “Two baskets a game for someone who stands under the basket?”

I think you overestimate his game.

It sounds like he isn’t a professional basketball player any more.

“Jason Collins is a fourth-rate, bench-warming, garbage-time mop-up scrub.”
Seems like the first time anyone ever heard of this ‘tard was when he told his long term female fiancé that he was gay. About the time he started seeking a new contract to play basketball.
He’s a never was wanna be that is looking for “cough” fame.
Sucks to be his fiancé.

Poor quality player that only came out in hopes some team would pick him up for the gayfirmative action.

Sorry Jason, the NBA still counts play quality over political points.

Sounds like the trendy summer of steamy man love attention whoring has ended for Jason Collins.

Now he gets to enjoy life out of the closet, even of he was never in the closet to begin with.
