Jason Collins comes out as gay

[macdaddy]

If you only read the headline i'd read the article. It is really a good one. Happy for Jason.

I wonder when he told his twin brother?

Actually, there is another article for that: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jarron-collins-reaction-brother-jason-gay/

Showing off their fancy Stanford ed-u-ma-cation and stuff with all this writing.

Good for him. He has my respect and support, although most of the NBA will be against him...

Its just NBA news and he was a Hawk. D12, CP3, etc have never been Hawks and they gets more threads in homecourt than 1/2 our starters. Come the offseason, 75% of the threads here will be about non Hawks lol.

And all of those threads will be dutifully moved to other boards as they have been in the past. If a thread about a non Hawk is allowed to stay up in Homecourt when he hasn't been a Hawk for a full season then there's no question it is being done for personal and political reasons. The fact someone went in and removed all the actual debate this topic should be about further shows it.

Twin will now sign with the Phoenix Suns

So they can try to collect all the marginal twins in the NBA?

Political/Religious/Social topics never end well, they are moved to where they belong.

General posts to this topic - Ok.

This thread is ENTIRELY about a political/religious/social topic about a NON Hawk. So it has no business whatsoever on being on Homecourt.

You can make a post without making it a commentary on political/religious/social issue even if it is.

This already has been a wild Monday as the weekday shows catch-up with the Playoffs and the Draft!

What part of this is a political/religious/social topic about a NON Hawk was unclear? This board is supposed to be solely about the current Hawks. Jason Collins is not a Hawk.

The local Atlanta sports writer just wrote a column on it

http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/mark-bradley/2013/apr/29/ex-hawk-jason-collins-hes-gay-and-hes-hero/

The Hawks beat writer just tweeted

Jason Collins news broke after Hawks shootaround today. Will check in with coach and players about the former Hawks pregame.

I don't know why but the Atlanta Hawks community seems interested in the story.

[NJHAWK]

Now if only Lebron would come out and be truthful. At the very least he sticks needles in his butt. Im sure the g@y community like most of the sports community have no idea who Collins is.

Sothron if you have an issue with how I or AHF are moderating this site then by all means take it up through PM but please stop with this agenda nonsense. #1 I JUST NOW read this thread and of course I wouldn't have moved it before that. AHF has NEVER had an agenda against anyone here and if there's ever been a moderator who is 100% fair and balanced it's him. I am glad that AHF removed the political and religious aspects of this debate from this thread as this should simply be about Jason and coming out. I don't care if someone likes that he did that or doesn't like it, as long as they don't go into the political or more likely religious reasons for that in this thread then I welcome discussion about something that is such a big deal in pro sports right now. So with that said I'm not moving it for a day or two and besides someone else would just create a new topic here about it.

FYI I've left that Brooklyn Nets thread up throughout the playoffs so far so I'd hardly say that all non Hawks threads get moved.

Let's get this petition started up again and end this tyranny!!! http://hawksquawk.net/community/topic/325455-petition-to-remove-dolfan23-as-moderatoradmin/

(sorry, had to do it.)

Anybody remember back around 2005-2006 when Jason Kidd's wife said there was a gay player on the Nets? All fingers point to Richard Jefferson, guess it wasn't and she sure was right.

Haha smartass!

[Guest]

AHF, suns would have a lotta identicals on their team yes, but also I believe their GM is gay. Just thought he'd be one of the biggest supporters of twin.

[NJHAWK]

Rodman was a great defender too. I guess if I played as the only man in lingerie bowl I would be the best hands on dfender on the field.

Props to him. Don't let people judge you because of who you are.
