Why should I care if Washington Wizards basketball player Jason

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.

F.O.A.D.

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 ****. ;-)
