Seems like everybody is declaring that Jason Collins is the first openly gay active player in the four pro sports. He is not. This isn't actually that hard to find either.

New York Times
CNN
Slate
CBS
Huffington Post
Sports Illustrated
ESPN


In less than 5 minutes on Google, all of these places are false reporting that Collins is the first. Seems like the more mainstream a media outlet is, the more sensationalized and less credible their actual reporting is.

CNN just called him the first openly gay athlete EVER (she emphasized ever as if throwing it in Favre Fan's face)

The reason these guys went into journalism at school in the first place was because Education required too much work and had too many women.

:lol: I read about that too. ESPN was fooled as well. It's especially funny though that one branch of Fox aired it and Fox News was still fooled.
