In Obama’s Amerika four dead Americans in Benghazi are a bump in the road, but an NBA player describing his sex habits in public is a Profile in Courage.
The fact that this comparison has to be even refuted it ample proof that America’s collective I.Q. has plummeted.
The only way Collins could be like Robinson, would be if Robinson waited til he was 36 to to tell people he was black.
A washed up athlete desperate for attention and a new contract. A twin to a heterosexual, and a fiance to a woman for eight years, a woman in fact who’s been quoted as saying she had no clue. Thus it is assumed he acted and performed as a heterosexual to her in private times. Now all the sudden “he’s gay” and Obama and media, et al cream their pants over this “pioneer”
The ugly reality this is a publicity ploy, the guy made a choice and so much for the nature > nurture argument. He’s a fraud.
To even mention them in the same breath is absurd.
“Coming out” is a guarantee of a media tongue bathing. The same day Deion Sanders tweeted that he admired Glenn Beck and was all but lynched.
I can guess the media’s reaction if she were to discover that she had HIV/AIDS-none. Or blame white Christian conservatives somehow.
Some basketball dude no one has heard of comes out and reveals his perversion, that he likes hairy male rectums... and the media goes into raptures of celebration, treating him a national hero! Why, he’s Chesley Sullenberger, Audie Murphy, and Neil Armstrong all wrapped up in one! Even gets a phone-call from the prez!
America 2013 is just too pathetically insane. A putrid, degenerate embarrassment of the great and exceptional country we used to be. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to even care about its continued existence.
Was obama proud that Collins is gay or that he said he’s gay? In any event, is obama also proud of the Log Cabin Republicans?
If we’re not supposed to care whether someone is gay or straight, why are all the leftists acting as though they care so much that Collins is gay?
Jackie Robinson was an outstanding athlete whose sexual identity was irrelevant.
Exactly. Jackie Robinson was a great athlete. Collins is just “gay”. It’s insane to try to compare the two.
... And now, according to Wikipedia, Sheryl (not Sherly) is engaged to a man again.
Jason Collins is obviously not the new Jackie Robinson in any serious sense. There are too many differences.
This is a media age, though, and the media are responding to (and creating) a story that they hope will be maybe not as big as Jackie Robinson's but big like Jackie Robinson's.
With the population as dominated as the media as ours is, they've been able to achieve some success in that. Ordinary viewers don't actually think that Jason is the new Jackie, but they don't protest at the idea either.
As you-know-who is supposed to have once said (but didn't): "History repeats itself: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce."
All I needed to know was that Obama called him right up. Wonder if they made a date?
I have always been under the impression that Magic Johnson was gay ... or at least bi-sexual. He has AIDS and his son is openly gay.
Are you suggesting that homosexuality is hereditary?
The media is going through all that discrimination crap. Listen. Blacks had a legitimate gripe in this country. All other victim groups should shut up.
Four dead Americans is:
Four dead Embassy staffers.
Is there a male "sweetheart" out there, or not?
