From the moment he embarked down this trailblazing path, Jason Collins has said that hed turn the other cheek when faced with ignorance, accepting that he cant control the words and actions of idiots.

He was tested once during his first month with the Brooklyn Nets, although the NBAs first openly gay player understandably doesnt want to give attention to the knucklehead or his comments. And Collins handled the negativity like he anticipated with a silent disregard.

One player, one knucklehead from another team, Collins said in an interview with the Daily News. Hes a knucklehead. So I just let it go. Again, that goes back to controlling what you can control. Thats how I conduct myself just being professional.

He's tossed out some anti-gay slurs before if I remember correctly. I'm not saying he did it, he's not any more likely than those guys you named, but I'm just bringing it up.

he has, but he seems like a different person now for some reason.

Whoever that one player is has some serious issues. I mean, why would you do this?
 
Everybody on the planet knows that Jason Collins doesn't belong on an NBA roster anymore. Apparently someone took that feeling too far.
