Last Spring, Jason Collins, a professional basketball player, came out as a gay man. This news rocked the sports world as Collins became the first active player of any major U. S. professional sports team to do so. Previously, most pros who bothered to come out had done so after they retired.
Collins' contract wasn't renewed and he spent most of the NBA season training and searching for a team. That changed at the end of February when the Brooklyn Nets team gave him a two-week temporary contract. Early this month, Collins was awarded a contract for the remainder of this current season as a member of the Brooklyn team. .
