[QUOTE="FamousAJ, post: 2180881, member: 9545"] i'm afraid to ask, what do you all think? Collins, who played with the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards this season and is now a free agent, made the announcement in an interview with Sports Illustrated, published on Monday, "I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation," he said. "I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand," he added. The 34-year-old has played for six teams in the NBA and reached the NBA finals twice and says he intends to continue in the sport.
