Congrats To Robbie Rogers

Okay, I know I am a little late in sending my congratulations to Robbie Rogers, but, to be fair, I have been a bit overwhelmed. My problems aside, however, I commend Robbie on his courage to become one of a very few professional athletes to publicly come out. Not only do you set the example for athletes who may be in the closet, but you set an example to anyone who is afraid to be them self for fear of ridicule and outcry.It is not easy being a first for anything, let alone, something that is all too often one of the last forms of acceptable bigotry and hate. Robbie, you have my support as well as my utmost respect. Love to all.

Congrats To Jason Collins

First and foremost I want to applaud Jason Collins for his courage. His coming out story will inspire and encourage not only current professional athletes, but future generations of gay youth who may have otherwise given up the idea of becoming a professional athlete due to their sexual orientation. This man had so much more to lose than just a few friends. He put his fears of losing his career, the torment of fellow players and the backlash from the fans aside so that he may be true to himself and to others about who this man is. As it is too soon to tell what the reaction from the fans may be, I am happy to see the support from so many fellow athletes and coaches. Kudos to you Jason Collins! Love to all.
