In this week’s Sports Illustrated, Collins discusses his sexuality and claims that sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with how an athlete performs on the field, the ice, of the court… he believes that it is and should be a non-issue.
All throughout the day on Monday, Collins was receiving support from former teammates, the league ,NIKE, and athletes from other sports… he even got a call from the President who let Collins know that he was a brave individual for being the first to take such a step.
It will be interesting to see if there is any backlash against Collins’ decision, or if other athletes will begin to come out now that the ice has been broken.
Thoughts?
