Jason Collins and Kerry Rhodes still un-signed...

[Hook_Em]

Collins who made history becoming the first openly gay has yet to sign with a team. Kerry Rhodes who is rumored to be gay is un-signed in the NFL. Rhodes was considered a top 10 safety last season and Collins would probably go anywhere for the veteran minimum.

Will a team step up and sign either player?

[Greenraida]

nope he is bad.

They're both terrible, thanks for attempting to some how make it correlate to being gay though...

Jason Collins has never really been good. I don't believe he was even on a team when he came out.

[Nolan]

Collins isn't a rotation player at this point in his career, at his best he's an 11th or 12th man so his talents aren't exactly in demand. And you've got to be high if you think Kerry Rhodes is a top 10 safety in the NFL.

Of course people will find excuses, deep down we know both players would have found a team by now had the rumours not come out.

Shame to see American sports are still ignorant, racist and homophobic in 2013. Thought we were a progressive nation?

[Flash Falcon X]

Richard Jefferson is on a team.

Speak for your self. As for Collins I actually thought his coming out had somewhat to do with helping his chances to get signed, as it might be seen as good pr for a team to sign him.

Other than that before he came out most people assumed he'd be as good as retired. If anything coming out helped his chances to get signed for the reason I described.

Exactly we're talking about a guy that hasn't averaged more than 2 points a game in 6 years. He's was an okay player in his prime but he's 34 now and basically done.

Richard Jefferson is on a team.

Only because the Warriors signed him 4 yr(s) / $38,892,000 back in 2010.

Jason Collins isn't signed because he's gay. While...

Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, Beno Udrih, Richard Hamilton, Lamar Odom, Ronnie Brewer, Sebastian Telfair, Tracy McGrady, Roddy Beaubois, Dahntay Jones, Tyrus Thomas, Josh Howard, Ivan Johnson, Drew Gooden, Keyon Dooling, James Johnson, Leandro Barbosa, Marquis Daniels, Jamaal Tinsley, Delonte West, Roger Mason, Xavier Henry, Terrence Williams, Josh Childress, Lou Amundson, Daequan Cook, Hakim Warrick, Darius Morris, Devin Ebanks, Chris Duhon, Cartier Martin, and Dominique Jones...

...aren't signed because they're straight.





Wait.

Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with getting an NBA contract?

I don't believe you.

[Strange Clouds]

Sixers should sign Collins for the tank. Maybe we can use the gay card if we don't get the #1 pick.

[MKG35]

I just knew this would happen.


"Collins won't get signed because he's gay".


When the real reason is: "He doesn't get signed because he sucks".

[Massamba]

Jason Collins knew his career was over before his coming out. He wasn't that good .

[Massamba]

"Collins won't get signed because he's gay".


When the real reason is: "He doesn't get signed because he sucks".

I know what you did

I honestly didn't mean to haha.


I'd rather give a young guy a chance (Thabeet) than Collins if I had to choose between the 2 of them.

[BattleTested]

Honestly I'm glad Collins didn't get signed. He's a 35 year old who hasn't averaged over 2 points per game for 7 years. His sexuality shouldn't get him a job. This coming from a bisexual man who lives in San Francisco. Judge dude based on his skill, not the genetic makeup of his sexual partner.

By Warriors you mean the Spurs.

Dumbest post I've seen on here in a long while

[orlandomanic]

Collins is a 12th man on any team and is 35 years old. the only quality gay player in the NBA right now is Rubio.
