re: Jason collins marches in gay pride parade.....why is it an ESPN headline

Jason Collins is a douche and here's why

If he really was doing it for gay rights he would've done it when he was a first round pick and cemented his place as a real champion for gay rights.

He's doing it now once he knows there's no chance of having to deal with the BS of being in the spotlight, dealing with teammates being weird about it, heckling from some idiot fan in every arena who would've made jokes, etc

He's doing it purely for the attention now, wonder why he didn't do it earlier in his career, he says he knew.....o ya bc no team would want to deal with the media circus for a mediocre player a la tim tebow

As a matter of fact without ever saying he was gay while in the NBA he never once championed the rights of GAY people, he never once said "it's cool everyone is entitled to their own opinion" nothing, he played along like all the other nba players who would never say being gay is cool

he is a hypocrite of the highest order

PS - didnt john amaechi say he was gay before?? i remember bc he was on the rockets

saw these in the ESPN comments section cracked me up
