    Interesting that this comes out of another ESPN commentator's mouth regarding Tim Tebow the day after the Broussard statement:

    I'm pretty sure that "the following that comes with Tebow" is the fundamentalist Christian backing that he receives because of his religious beliefs. Now, if Broussard had said the same thing, but replaced "Tebow" with "Collins", I think that those looking for him to be fired would be correct.

    Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

    translated 18 times HERE

    Leviticus 20:13 Anyone who makes a Virgin? These Kinky to do. Abomination: the death. Blood is.

    THE WORD OF GOD HATH SPOKEN!

    The title of this thread is misleading. It isn't only Sly's fault. News outlets are reporting it this way as well but Jason Collins is a free agent. It should say "Former Washington Wizards Center Jason Collins reveals he is gay".

    If there is any sort of controversy and teams aren't interested this summer, I could see Phoenix throwing him a bone.

    If the Lakers can't get anything for Howard, why not LA?

    I personally do not care what makes his backers do it. If I am running a franchise, I stay away from a quarterback with severe limitations that fans have an unhealthy love for.

    If Collins gets a huge following for coming out and those backers are calling for him to play more, I would also stay away from him as a GM.

    O'Neal will be gone, and with the Suns' President Welts being gay, it's not inconceivable they could add Collins. I suspect there are going to be teams who will be interested in picking him up as a third center, but they're going to have to be mindful of the personalities in the locker room and there's markets that will be more supportive than others. It's sad that these things come into play, but it's the way it is.

    I think he will get an opportunity. Wouldn't be surprised though if it is a nonguaranteed contract.

    Jason Collins’ former fiancee, Carolyn Moos, had no idea he was gay

    So does Jason making this announcement increase his chances of a team signing him the summer, decreases the chances or doesn't effect it at all?


    And for all you english majors, is it effect or affect? :)

    Affect if it's a verb (he affects that); effect if it's a noun (the effect is that he...)

    And I think his chances are similar to what they've always been. There's always a market for a seven footer.

    Interesting that Obama ignored a question on Benghazi whistleblowers, said he didn't know about it, and basically was running off the stage, yet heard a question about Jason Collins and went back to talk about it.

    Benghazi ... eh ... who cares about government coverups.
