Coming Out Could Boost Jason Collins' Endorsements - Told you n1gggas

[madness]

he's gonna get mad public speaking offers, prolly get paid $15-$20K a pop just to talk about how difficult it is being a gay athlete

 

[superunknown23]

He averages 1.1 PPG and gets a shoe deal?
Even Kevin Ollie couldn't get that

Probably at schools...talking to kids everywhere.

You're defeating your own premise. If this was just a cold calculation on his part to maximize his dollars, then he woulda came out a long time ago, so he could reap all these supposed endorsement rewards, while still in the league.

I'm not defeating my own premise, you just don't understand the premise


I stated earlier that he didn't have the GUTS to come out in his prime when he had years left to play. Now it's easy because he's desperate to hang on and trying now to make what money he can off this

Now you're defeating your premise even more, because you are alluding to the fact that he would have been discriminated against, socially and economically, and mistreated because of his sexual orientation, which is a natural motivator to stay in the closet. So where is this idea coming from that gay = dollars/endorsements?

He grew older. He matured. He decided to take a bold step. Trying to demonize his intentions is childish.

How do you feel about AIDS and the devastating effects it has had on the black community

 

[Mindfield333]

dont most players wear shoes? Now I would be shocked if he had a signature shoe.

coming out in 2013 isn't much different like Ellen coming out in 1999, if he came out 5 years ago he would have got the exact same reaction


your naive ass falling for his story hook line and sinker

 

[patscorpio]

nike had this dude signed to an endorsement deal before all this?

 

[the cool]

this nikka Jason Collins had a girlfriend for 8 years and was engaged to her. this is a publicity stunt to get money. Collins brothers are smart

 

[CantStop]

I don't know about y'all but I saw a sneek peak of his new sneaker the Nikes ooooooooooooooooooookay? and the colorways are hot so I'm def gonna be first in line

 

[Jesus]

fukking fakkit...

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

I told you nikkas this is why he came out


why wouldn't he come out in the middle of his career? why at the end when he's :fif: 36 years old and 12th man on the roster who isn't signed for next year?
