    Jason Collins Comes Out as First Openly Gay NBA Player

    " In 12 seasons as an N.B.A. player, Jason Collins has never been an All-Star or a scoring leader or even a full-time starter, but on Monday he shattered one of the last great barriers in professional sports.

    "I'm a 34-year-old N.B.A. center. I'm black and I'm gay," Collins, who finished this season with the Washington Wizards, writes in the May 6 edition of Sports Illustrated. The magazine published the article online Monday morning."*

    Jason Collins is now the first openly gay athlete in a major sport. Is this groundbreaking? Or not a big deal in this age? What must it have been like to hide being gay in a professional sports career, and will his improve now? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

    Jason Collins is Gay. Jason Who?

    The first day of First Grade in elementary school is one that I remember vividly. Not because I was the new kid in school that spoke no English and I was wearing a hideous light blue kiddie leisure suit that my mom forced me to put on, but because I met an amazing individual who for many years after that was my official BFF. This person had a hard to pronounce Russian name, was wearing pants, a red polo shirt, and sported a perfectly shaved head (I suspect as a result of lice), so before being troubled by the thought of how the heck I was supposed to communicate with this group, or when was my mother going to buy me a uniform, I was challenged by the mystery of “Sasha”. Was this “Sasha” person a boy or a girl? I observed keenly; heedful of any signs that would give him or her away. This person doodled in her books like everybody else, ignored the teacher like everybody else, stuck gum under the desk like everybody else, and pulled on Pilar’s pony tail just like everybody else. There was no obvious tell. Frustrated at my lack of results, I just went ahead and asked. I got slapped. A boy would’ve punched me. Sasha was a girl and we became best friends.

    My first reaction to the news that Jason Collins is gay was: Who’s Jason Collins? So of course, I asked Professor Google and immediately got the whole story. Even though I know this is probably “the moment” of his life, I want to believe most people will react to these "moments" much like his Aunt Teri: &

    JASON COLLINS Becomes First Active Pro Athlete to Come Out

    It's a historical day in the world of sports. NBA star Jason Collins has become the first active pro-athlete to come out. "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm Black and I'm Gay," that's what Jason's big message in the new issue of Sports Illustrated read. As the first pro athlete to come out Jason told the mag he was happy to start the conversation of homosexuality in sports. He admits the thought of coming out crossed his mind two years ago during the NBA lockout. Jason also realizes that he may face challenges ahead, but he is ready to face them.

    Jason Collins becomes the first openly gay NBA player News Video

    Veteran basketball player Jason Collins has become the first openly gay athlete to play in a competitive game for a major US professional sports league.
    Earlier on Sunday, he signed a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
    Collins entered the court at the start of the second quarter in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
    The 35-year-old centre, who has played for five other NBA teams, was given a warm reception by the crowd.
    He only revealed he was gay in a Sports Illustrated magazine interview last April.
    At the time he was not signed to a team.
    Needing another big man, the Nets turned to the seven-foot Collins, who helped them reach two NBA Finals in the early 2000s.
    "The decision to sign Jason was a basketball decision,'' general manager Billy King said in a statement.
    "We needed to increase our depth inside, and with his experience and size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-day contract.''
    The news comes as Michael Sam, another US sportsman who recently revealed he is gay, prepares to take part in American Football's NFL Scouting Combine - a showcase of college players looking to be signed by NFL teams.
    Last May, Los Angeles Galaxy footballer Robbie Rogers became the first openly gay male athlete to play in a US professional league.
    However Major League Soccer is not regarded as one of the four main sports competitions in the US.
