Last April, Jason Collins became the first active male professional athlete to come out of the closet. It takes quite a bit of spirit to do that. Tennis player Martina Navratilova was the first active gay athlete to come out i 1981, but it's a testament on how ridiculously harder it is for a man that Collins did it 32 years later. He was two years old when Navratilova came out. Despite stating that he would seek a new contract during the summer, Jason Collins still doesn't have a job today and it is neither bigotry or savvy management. Not at the moment.
