SYA
A while back, a guy named Jason Collins, who plays for the NBA’s Washington Wizards, decided he was a homosexual. And much of this country’s left, whose historical memory goes back about a month, started making Jackie Robinson noises.
Which is all kinds of stupid. Jackie Robinson was, well, good. But if you look at his statistics for this season, Jason Collins is, well, pretty close to the worst player on the Washington Wizards basketball team.
So I guess you can either say that Collins is being honest with himself or he’s trying to salvage what’s left of his basketball career in any way that he can, figuring that Washington will never cut the openly-gay guy because they’re absolutely terrified of having the media hammer drop on them.
Both explanations seem to work.
