Does it matter that Jason Collins says he is gay?

Why should I care if Washington Wizards basketball player Jason Collins
is gay, straight, or undetermined? I don't follow pro basketball,

Collins is good enough to play in the NBA, why should anyone give a
damn
about his sexual preference?
It didn't make any difference to me when I read that Leonardo da Vinci
might have been gay, and he was a guy who really mattered.
I do understand why announcing his preference might matter to Collins,
but really, why does anyone else care? Yet, it seems that many people
do.
D'oh.
None of my business
Perfect answer, because it really isn't anyone's business except Jason
Collins. I'm astonished at how much "play" it is getting in what passes
for news reports these days.

Ummmm..... to the best of my knowledge you are the only one who has
even brought it up here in rec.boats.
It was just "announced" today. I'm just wondering if a pro athlete
"coming out" is really something sports fans care about.
I can tell you unequivocally that I don't give a ****. ;-)
