The big social topic this week was the coming out of Jason Collins – the first active player from one the big four sports to come out. Ex-players have come out a lot of times, but never a current player. It got a lot of people talking. Sadly, it also got a lot of people talking about talking and then takes away from the moment. Oh my God, what does Honey Boo Boo’s mom think about it this historic moment? Quick, everyone get on Twitter!
Stupid politicians, sports analysts, current players’ tweets, actors and who gives a shit else all chime in. The media cycle reacts, then everyone reacts to people reacting and then we all forget about the fact something happened in the first place to start the cyclone of bullshit. In fact, if you ever want to be annoyed, read any story on any website. Take a deep breath, then scroll down and watch how every internet bully and moron immediately ties a story about pudding into religion/anti-religion or political issues. My advice? Don’t be too excited about Jason coming out either way – he still plays for the Washington Wizards. That is the true sad part of this whole saga. That team stinks.
