Why should I care if Washington Wizards basketball player Jason Collins

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.

Harry, concerning world events involving a trigger happy nutcase in
North Korea, and the possibility of a threat of *war with Syria being
proprietary *issues, why would you think that some ball players sexual
orientation would be worthy mention?

That was my point, indirectly, tim. Collins is all over the news and
many "prominent" individuals are commenting on his "coming out," and,
not being much of a sports fan, I don't know why. The question remains,
why does anyone care?


Ok. *harry*

If it's all over the news then why did you feel the article would be
of interest here?

I agree with Greg and Rich...
