"NBA player Jason Collins announces he's gay"

once upon a time, people looked up to sports players as model americans. now i guess bourgeois decadence has reached such a low that even muscular men who spend a lot of time sweaty in locker rooms are gay.

like 5+ years ago there were all these stories that there was a gay player on the new jersey nets and everyone just assumed it was richard jefferson

chris broussard an espn journalist said it was an "open rebellion against god" and said collins couldn't call himself a christian if he engaged in homosexual relations

he also runs a foundation for christian black men and writes really good things (for a guy that's on espn) like this and this

i bet he's being vilified to shit on gawker atm
#22
also it's gonna be pretty funny when no team signs him next year and people cry homophobia without noticing that jason collins is old and terrible

he's also an identical twin so i guess lol
#23
he's already playing for the wizards, what's the worst that could happen? the bobcats sign him?

i was thinking just now about how michael douglas is really good in this, maybe best performance of the 90s except denzel in malcolm x... but it must be the wardrobe because they are both dressed the same.

she claims she had "no idea" he was gay, so i cant imagine it was much worse than any of her relationships with hetero men. in fact it was probably significantly better, seeing as how it lasted 8 whole years despite their fundamental sexual incompatibility

#35
It wasted 8 years of her life. She thought she had a life partner and she didn't. Believe me, I know what this is like, except for more than 8 years.

how was her life anymore "wasted" than if she had dated a heterosexual man for 8 years and then broke up? if you truly loved someone, then you never consider the time you spent with them "wasted", even when its over. the real victim in this situation was Jason Collins, who lived every day of those 8 years in turmoil, living a lie, doing everything he could to try to fit his life into some illusory American Ideal or face ridicule, assault, unemployment, etc.

imagine how horrifying it must feel to be constantly pressured into sexual congress with a gender you are not attracted to. Society has basically raped him with his own desire for normalcy and stability
