Does anyone really care if Jason Collins is gay or straight? I'm more surprised to hear he's still on an NBA roster.

by rshafer10 via twitter 4/29/2013 5:49:09 PM

Awesome about Jason Collins, but a bit sad that it's actually news (and that he's the first one EVER in professional sports?)

by AlyssaMGilbert via twitter 4/29/2013 5:49:10 PM

Who is Jason Collins and why mofos care so much he's gay?

Respect to Jason Collins for coming out and being active in the league that takes some balls! #Salute

If Jason Collins doesn't get a contract next year, it won't be because he's openly gay. It'll come down to numbers. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/29/jason-collins-breaks-a-barrier-but-will-he-find-another-n-b-a-job/?smid=tw-fivethirtyeight&seid=auto

I gotta mute Jason Collins. Ya secret gay *****s keep going.

by YoureASideChick via twitter 4/29/2013 5:50:06 PM

And I thought I'd always remember Jason Collins for being one of three 7-footers in an NCAA tourney game that took place in 2000.

by EvanMarkfield via twitter 4/29/2013 5:50:07 PM

So Jason Collins, the NBA player who just came out, has an identical twin brother... Interesting.

It does not matter that Jason Collins is gay. He is a basketball player, just like every other NBA player and that's all he should be.
