If I was Billie Jean King, I would be PISSED. Finally, a gay athlete? Really?

Really! What about Martina Navratilova? Or any of the WNBA players? Or one-third of the LPGA Tour?

Actually, I think all the activists were thrilled because this was the first announcement of the major sports.

Being a male is what the libs wanted.

Now, similar to how teachers brainwash the young, media brainwash the masses and Hollywood brainwashes the low information voters, this is a way to get to sports fans, many of whom are white males and not necessarily political junkies.

Lib women will be emboldened by this news and if/when the Dems nominate a liberal woman in 2016, the gay discussion will be one step below womens’ issues in the campaign. If we all think 2012 was bad with victimization, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Anyone not a Dem will be labeled backwards, hateful, etc., etc. etc., more so than at any point during Barry’s reign.

Back in the ‘20s, Bill Tilden, considered by many old-timers to be the greatest tennis player of his generation and many generations after, was well-known as being a homosexual. Except he never announced he was despite the fact that virtually everyone in the tennis world (and many outside) knew he was. That didn’t stop people from proclaiming his greatness as an athlete. Ditto for Navratilova, King, and numerous other female athletes since who announced their homosexuality and paid no price for it. So the idea that Collins is some sort of courageous pioneer is patently ridiculous.
