What team wouldn't beat a path to his door, now that Jason Collins has courageously admitted that he's gay?
Pardon my cynicism, but c'mon already, it's pure marketing genius. Being homosexual doesn't make him a better basketball player. But being The First Gay Basketball Player? When he's a free agent journeyman nearing the end of his career? We're talking signing bonus, baby!
If he's not picked up, the NBA is homophobic.
If he's not paid more than his team's average salary, the NBA is homophobic.
If he's benched, or cut, the NBA is homophobic.
Plus, having The First Gay NBA Player on your roster is guaranteed to sell lots of tickets. Or the fans are homophobic.
Brilliant!
