Right, lol.

I cant say which one is worse...Jason Collins coming out of the closet, or Magic Johnson's attention-deprived, ass-chapping, disgrace of a son. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/no2.gif)

Gay or not, Magic's son is nothing short of a dipshit, who uses his father's fame and money to further embarrass the Johnson family name...not to mention the family legacy. That dude is BIG, and all he managed to turn out to be was...well, whatever he calls himself now? Really?

As for Jason Collins, I'm not sure what to say. I haven't followed basketball all that much over the past few years, so I cant even stand up to say that I know who he is.

As for sports and this whole "coming out"...believe me, it's gonna keep going. I have no problem with it, but as an athlete, be the best athlete that you can and dont use your "life choice" as means for attention, which totally takes away the attention of the sport.

Here's the deal with this. In the USA you have a closed shop for sports and values so its cool for sportsmen to come out.

They can do it and theres only the fans to face and the culture in your own country.

In the UK, and across the globe, guys can't come out especially in soccer. On the continent there's all sorts of backwards attitudes out there and it could mean your salary DROPS. Your market value could plummet. So in "soccer" they don't tend to come out.
