Why NBA center Jason Collins is coming out now

I’m quite calm, You’re the one who in a connip at his fiancée.

Terra, it's currently 2013, not 2014. Lol @ do my math again, like I’m the dummy. Read slowly: 2009 to even 2014 would STILL not equal 8 years ago that they broke up. I get you want to come at me for the sake of it, but you look like a fool right now.

Who are you calling a blatant homophone? You must have me confused.
Once again, you fail at reading because you would have read my post #38 that disputes your pathetic attempt at an insult.

And nope, I am not reading ‘more into it’. She didn't only say, “he said he was gay“ SHE ALSO added that ‘at the time, he gave her a bunch of BS excuses‘. Reading is fundamental.

I do find it funny though how you think it’s perfectly fine for YOU to read more into it and insert a whole bunch of YOUR opinion/excuses into why he lied.

And lie he did, no amount of “he was confused” from you will white-wash it.

Furthermore, remember your hissy fit that she was just looking for an OPRAH interview?? Well lookie who was really the media-whore looking….

Yeah, your washed up NBA player who no one was checking him outside of this story…:smt039

But I’m sure you will be GLUED to the screen to wildly applaud the attention seeking nobody for announcing to the world that he sleeps with men.

Seriously. While real men of courage get NOTHING. No Oprah, no threads, no you praising and defending them with fuzzy math all because you didn’t like me agreeing with his fiancée that he lied like an ASS to her for EIGHT years his own selfish reasons.



He loving all the attention, lol.

 

is he srs

:smt043

 

........This is the sickening reality for women who can't and won't pick up on the suppressed homosexuality in a man....A possible eight years of sleeping with a switch-hitter would make any woman worried sick......she might need to get tested and retested for 4 years.....

Why is Jason Collins coming out a bigger deal than Brittney Griner?

there's a reason why the whole 'brothas on the DL' shit took off

sleeping with a black guy is risky enough according to HIV stats...but sleeping with a black guy who ALSO has sex with other black guys makes it even more likely, because he's in a higher risk bracket

so yeah...she's probably like omg

but if she's smart, she would have been getting routine tests from day 1 of becoming a sexually active woman

 

.......Damn, ....I guess sometimes shame comes with honesty......What you have written here is sobering.........What the hell have we done to our selves in the last 20 years..........

 

dunno but i think i have seen some posters here say they dont use condoms

go figure

:smt120

 

THIS SHIT WAS FUNNY AS HECK.

Only because it doesn't look like your regular voice-over, it looks like he really would've said these things....or did say them. :lol:

Ugh, no way. That's asking for real trouble. I bet they think a "you clean?" 'yeah, are you?', "yeah" exchange is good enough. :smt105

 

point1- it's not a connipition, i don't care about the story that much. the issue is i don't have sympathy for her because she ran and did an interview, the relationships break up all the time, and who is to say because she thought he was giving "bs excuses", that she is right, it's her opinion not the scientific record. she could of seen he was about to make nba money and her benchwarming wnba behind didn't want to lose her willy wonka.

point2-post38? still sound homphobic to me. you lecturing some guy about coming clean, your lecturing doesn't sound that believable to me.

point3-i'm reading into it. i'm using logic. if he was just using the girl as a beard why would he come out to her right before he did to the world?

point4-calling him a liar shows your bias. he didn't lie. there is nothing that implies he knew he was gay and was using her. it could have easily been the tradition of feeling like he had to be straight to be a man. so he might have been lying to himself not her. he didn't waste 8 years because relationships end all the time. he had no obligation to her. they weren't married.

point5- there's nothing wrong with him doing oprah. it's his life....

point6- what do you mean real men of courage? the man isgay. black male. celebrity. any of those three things make him a target. just because you don't believe so doesn't make it true.. and dude is worth around 30 mill, so i doubt he needs the attention. he could have easily been in a kerry rhodes situation and was preventing being outed.

but anyway you have a right to your opinion.

But no one even knows if he was acting on his homosexuality or if he was suppressing it. You can be homosexual without being sexually active. If he was exclusively with her but just wanting to do something 'different', he would be as safe as any other monogamous heterosexual relationship, just emotionally unfulfilling.

 

Has anyone asked him this question?

 

Who knows? I was just reading the exchange between Arch and Petty about his ex-fianceè being at increased risk for HIV transmission and this occurred to me.
