Alponso Smith of the Lions has also had something to say
Alphonso Smith @AlphonsoSmith2 4h
Come OUT or NOT- there will be no PATS on the BACK coming from this way- Pats on the back only influence other weak minds to indulge! SMH
Ppl are so sensitive-I have the RIGHT to not give that behavior any applause;I love everyone-don't hate anyone; not praising it! Excuse me!
2013 announcing that you are ? is deemed as GOOD NEWS- & the moment someone disagree they are a villain, prejudice, or may lose their job
what is admirable is the fact that ol buddy was honest?? SO!!!!!!!!!!!!
J.Collins is obligated to do him& do it openly-however,him doing him doesn't warrant a "round of applause" THEE END!
? says that in the last days people would have to stand on his word, no matter how unpopular it is.. No sin is greater than another!

money.cnn.com/2013/04/29/news/companies/jason-collins-endorsement/Coming out could boost Jason Collins' endorsements
For years, the assumption in locker rooms and along Madison Avenue has been that an openly ? athlete could kiss his endorsement deals good bye.
But when back-up Washington Wizards center Jason Collins came out on Monday, his endorsement potential probably went up.
Collins came out in a Sports Illustrated interview. His only endorsement deal right now is with Nike (NKE, Fortune 500), which issued a statement supporting his decision.
"We admire Jason's courage and are proud that he is a Nike athlete. Nike believes in a level playing field where an athlete's sexual orientation is not a consideration," said the leading source of athletic endorsement dollars.
Collins was also praised by NBA Commissioner David Stern and Adam Silver, who is set to be the next commissioner, as well as by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Marketing experts say while Collins has never appeared in a Nike ad as part of his endorsement deal, there's now a much greater probability that he'll do so.
"I don't think he's going to be a major spokesman, but he could certainly earn seven figures off of this," said Bob Dorfman, editor of the Sports Marketers Scouting Report and executive creative director of Baker Street Advertising in San Francisco. He said he thinks Nike will now consider using him in some of its spots.
"There's a big demographic that could certainly see him as a role model and an a pioneer," he said.
But Frank Vuono, president 16W Marketing, said he thinks while Collins' endorsements will increase, they'll grow modestly given the fact that he's not a star athlete.
"There may be some companies that decide having the courage to come forward is good for their brand to associate with," he said. "But I don't see anyone beating down a path to his door."
Paul Swangard, managing director of Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon, said that while advertisers have certainly been reluctant in the past to use openly ? spokespeople, that is starting to change. J.C. Penney (JCP, Fortune 500) and Revlon (REV) both use talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as its spokesperson and many other companies, including Starbuck (SBUX, Fortune 500)s and Targe (TGT, Fortune 500)t have come out in open support of ? marriage.
"The market is more receptive. He might be the right player at the right time to benefit from that," said Swangard.
Collins earned $1.4 million this past season, according to Basketball-Reference.com. He's a free agent without a contract for next year.
Swangard said the endorsement dollars Collins previously got from Nike were probably modest, and he cautioned that he might not be interested in doing any kind of advertising, even if he can. Both Swangard and Baker said he could also see significant income from speaking engagements and appearance fees if he so chooses.
"It's a great situation for him to be in. It's a question of what he wants to do," he said. "I haven't seen any indication that he did this to improve his marketability, but because he thought it was the right thing to do."
Damn.. This ? who averages like point a game is going have more endorsement deals.. then more deserving ? who are put in work on the court.. smh...
