Collins enters game as NBA's first openly gay player

The last week appeared in NBA news that Jason Collins had recognised his homosexuality. Everybody was so shocking because this was the first time in NBA history that happens, but we are in the XXI century and I think this has to be an irrelevant thing. In the atmosphere of the NBA was trending topic and everyone talks about this fact. Even there were some people thinking about the possibility that he can’t play this sport or intolerant things like that.

He said he only thinks about playing basketball and learn more things to be a better player, and that’s the character because a lot of rumours affect to the professionals. Maybe the globalization of information has affected a lot of professionals, and not only in this case of homosexuality.
