It’s the cause celebre of our time, they will jump down each others throats to show how tolerant they are. I bet half of them aren’t nearly so pleased but the peer pressure is too much, they are like children, the media. “Look at me I’m progressive too!!! More progressive than you!!! But me no I am 100% straight, make that 1000% percent”!
What do you expect? The "sports media" is essentially just a subdivision of the MSM. For example, ESPN and ABC are both subdivisions of Disney, and NBC, CBS, and Fox have their own multiple sports channels now. Plus the vast majority of the ownerships of the professional sports teams and certainly the buffoons that run the leagues are all into social engineering causes that fit in nicely with the left's agenda (including internationalism). And the players and coaches pick up on this and know how to kiss the rears of their bosses by echoing their views.
I saw where some nitwit who wears a baseball uniform compared Jason Collins' situation to Jackie Robinson's. That's not only stupid, but it's also disrespectful to Robinson's achievements and legacy.

Right you are. Robinson was not hired because he was black. He was hired because he was good, and would help the Dodgers win. Greed trumped racism.
This idiot blows a few stereotypes about black athletes (no pun intended).
You know what would REALLY be funny? If this joker was straight, and concocted this story as a ruse to make money: )
