Brooklyn Nets sign homosexual Jason Collins making so-called history as the first openly Gay player in teams sports.



 It would have to be my team, the Brooklyn Nets, to sign this scrub player.  Poor Michael Sam must be disappointed he won’t be the first anything.  

NY DailyNews reports it's the 10-day contract that broke down a barrier.

The Nets officially signed Jason Collins to the historic deal on Sunday afternoon, fitted him in a No. 98 Brooklyn uniform for Sunday night's game against the Lakers, and thus gave him the opportunity to become the first openly gay athlete in America's four main professional sports leagues.

"The decision to sign Jason was a basketball decision," GM Billy King said in a statement, clearly trying to address criticisms that the signing was a marketing ploy. "We needed to increase our depth inside, and with his experience and size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-day contract."
