In the politically correct world
of sports today, it is no surprise that the media went crazy in praising Jason
Collins, the first gay professional athlete to go public. Collins is a 7 foot
free agent center who is a 34 year old journeyman in the NBA. He only averages
a few points a game and is used sparingly, but, today, he is a household name.
