exactly what were you looking for with respect to the "liberal media's" response to a gay athlete coming out of the closet? A Duck dynasty type condemnation, replete with gay slurs and marked intolerance?

I would expect him to actually be a current athlete and not someone out of the league with everything to gain and nothing to lose..

Wasn't that the entire point of the "historic" nature of his announcment?

But just like the announcent of "rapper" Frank Ocean, the media felt they had to cheat to win.....

Just be honest...

Of course the ATL
These dudes will never admit that the rallied behind a coward that announced his orientation at the winter of his career. Only thing left for them was to beg teams to sign him or claim he's being discriminated against rather than admitting that they cheerleaded the wrong dude.

Not only that but he was engaged to be married to a woman for almost 4 years before he called it off. His ex called him out for being a selfish liar, yet folks wanna salute this dude as a hero :smh:

If you are a Black man that cheats on his wife with another man you will be viewed as "brave" or a "hero" in certain circles...Not an adulterer or a liar but a hero...


They were labeling Mr. Cee as courageous for commiting crimes....

:snoop:

They are in such a rush to feminize Black males that they overlook basic morals and common sense..

I'd imagine gay groups are disappointed that they tied their wagon to a dead horse. I commend him for coming out but it wasn't nearly as impactful as advertised. He's not a good player, was never good, etc. Having an active roster player come out would be ideal, and would actually justify having a SI cover, getting the president of the US to commend you, etc. He was the toast of DC for awhile.

Disappointing....You're certainly reading this event of Collins coming out, through a homophobic lens. You're teasing out what you want from this story, and sharing the same social space as a white nationalist crying about the liberal, pro black, "jew agenda". I have much respect for your intellect, which is why it pains me to see you stand side-by-side, rhetorically, with the likes of low class bigots of the world like Robertson from Duck Dynasty.

What did I say that can even remotely be confused with homophobia?


:what:

You dont have to liter your posts with crude slurs, in order to communicate an anti gay agenda; much in the same way that racists code their anti black subtexts with subliminal rhetoric that makes their intent loud and clear.

Peddling this "agenda" talk is a dog whistle...as if to imagine that there is some sort of elite homo mafia that is trying to indoctrinate us all, with the goal every man has a dyck in his hand, rather than people simply wanting the same rights as other americans. This "agenda" you speak of, consists of a positive human rights story, and the idea that discrimination against a group is wrong. Collins, in coming out, has exposed himself to an anti-gay element that is quite vitriolic, and for that he has received props and support. Im not clear why you would paint that as a negative, unless you have your own agenda here.
