Re: Jason Collins (NBA Center) announces that he is gay, altering the landscape of sp
1.)The people in the locker rooms are doing exactly as I said they will. Some will make noise, others will accept, others won't care. Those fractions will change in time, regardless of this dude or not, and more and more will likely at least start to not care, others learning to accept, and we'd likely see a decline in time over those making noise. That's it.
2.)There was no emotion.
3.)The specific thing I'm pointing to is that while you may want this to be something ground breaking and you want it to be this monumental event; it's not. It's media hype and overplay.
4.) The landscape of sports IS NOT going to change, well not because of this one dude anyway.
5.) It will do exactly as I said above as that was the natural progression anyway.
6.) You want it to be something it's not.
7.) You're the one saying it's going to be different, that we're changing the landscape.
8.) But there will be no change in slope of the derivative function, no discontinuity in attitude or acceptance; just the standard normal trend.
1.) so there will be a change based on this :shrug:
2.) well i certainly can not tell you how you feel but your post doesnt seem to support that but if you say so i got nothing else to go on
3.) "I" dont want it to be anything more than what i think it is and that is possible the first openly gay pro-athlete and thats awesome.
And as far as what i think/want it to be and what you think/want it to be that just your opinion.
4.) that remains to be seen.
5.) we will never know this now since this happened, its already changed and impacted, we could debate how much and to what to what degree though.
I think its awesome, beyond that, I dont know what it is. Id love to know how you come to any of these made up conclusions lol
YOU want me to think that so YOU can tell me its not something LOL
6.) wrong again "I" havent said much about me that even supports what you claim LOL ive laid out the reality of peoples reaction. Try again and try to talk about things actually being discussed.
7.) wrong again i said it has the potential and that many people think it will, again please keep up
8.) again just your opinion and you dont possible know that, no one can.
so again what are you trying to sell me on? is there some facts that im missing?
Thanks for you opinion though many more have opinions that disagree.
