Jason Collins? Remember Brad Drewett. Comparing Apples and Homosexuals

Yes, it's a bit like trying to compare apples and homosexuals...in a world where HOMO means so much and the media, so HOMO, cares so much about their own...

But let's see who got more coverage this week. Brad Drewett or Jason Collins.

Jason Collins, who is a has-been who might play a few more years of basketball because he's gay and came out as such, was all over the news. He's GAY! OOOOOOOH!

Brad Drewett, an important figure throughout the world (because tennis tournaments matter everywhere; basketball only in America), got little coverage. What did he do? HE DIED

Yes, he's blooming well DEAD. And you know what he died of? ALS, which is now usually called "motor neurone disease." It was once known as "Lou Gherig's Disease."

Did anyone seize on Brad's death and ask for a little bit more money being spent on research of this disease? No. But a has-been nobody named Jason Collins tells the world that he's gay (after experimenting with women...much to their humiliation at this point) and people dance, cheer, scream how brave he is, call him "Jackie Robinson" and a hero, and bellow about how gay marriage should be legal.

The world is gay-happy. That's because the media is full of gays. If you check the movies, TV shows, and who is on TV, and what is covered in the news, you'd think gays were the majority, not the minority. We're all well aware of Ellen Degeneres and Rosie O'Donnell, and Parsons, that snippy twit who stars on some piece of shit called "Big Bang Theory." Elton John and his Furnished idiot husband or wife or whatever, is in the news constantly. BUT...oooh ooooh, Jason Collins came out BLACK and GAY and he doesn't happen to look or dress like Elton John So let's forget about something a lot more important.

Like, motor neurone disease.

This fucking (MAN-FUCKING, let's all celebrate his achievement) Jason Collins can go out tomorrow and suck all the cock he wants. His retirement from the NBA will not mean a retirement from LIFE.

But a real hero, Brad Brewett, learned he had ALS in January, and that his life was going to be over soon. OVER. That the thing he was good at (ask Andy Murray) was now beyond his abilities, and he would have to resign from his job. He died a few days ago.

Again, where was the news coverage? Where was the respect? We are much more concerned about some hulking clod in bad underwear telling the world he's homosexual? So he can maybe extend his useless career as a second-string or third-string basketball player for another year or two?

We're told that this is big news because there's "shame" and "stigma" attached to being a homosexual. Right. It's kept Anderson Cooper off TV. And Parsons. And Degeneres. No? It kept Emile Griffith from getting championship boxing matches DECADES AGO. No? ALS has no "shame" or "stigma" to it. It just kills you, after turning your body into a vegetable while your brain agonizes over this day after rotten day.

What is worse for an athlete like Lou Gherig or Catfish Hunter or Brad Drewett? Being told you can't marry somebody with the same genitalia, or being slowly crippled on your way to an early grave?

And yet, if you look at the news, especially American news, the #1 issue is GAY MARRIAGE. Children are being mowed down by assault weapons. Nah, GAY MARRIAGE! There are lethal diseases that have no cure. Nah, what about GAY MARRIAGE? Oh, and HIV AIDS??

No wonder the Muslims think they can blow Americans up. No wonder idiots from Loughner to Holmes and back figure they can mow down children and audiences in movie theaters. When a country has nothing more important on its mind than GAY MARRIAGE, and can think of "HERO" and "Jason Collins" in the same sentence...then sure. This is a weak, stupid nation.

The Muslims believe in tradition. Americans? They believe the past 2,000 years in which "marriage" means "man and a woman" is ridiculous. "Marriage" should mean a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, because a noisy 10% (or less) has 90% access to the media and screams, shrieks, cries, and carries on about a non-issue. A word. "Marriage." As opposed to "civil union," or a contract by which you share the same home and get the same tax breaks and you get the same inheritance breaks as any other couple. Nah. Not good enough.

And so this big nothing, which changes nothing, which is worth nothing, this "Jason Collins is a BLACK GAY MAN" story...gets all the attention. Just sit back and rot, ALS sufferers. And by the way, unlike Jason Collins, you don't have a choice about "coming out" with ALS. It just happens. To gays. To straights. It just fucking happens. And nobody will call you a hero as you resign your job, settle your business affairs, and try to make "good use of the time" you have left before you are barely the equivalent of a mannequin.

The media finds it amusing and titillating to show pictures of Jason Collins, and let the world imagine what his mouth and anus might be up to tonight.

The media turns away in disgust when it comes to news about Brad Drewett and others like him. I don't recall Catfish Hunter getting the front page of Sports Illustrated when he was diagnosed with ALS. If anything, he was shunned. Nobody wanted to hear about this terrible and fatal illness, not even when it happened to a Hall of Fame athlete (Jason Collins is not "Hall of Fame" anything...he'd hardly even be stand-out in an alley or a men's room...go look up his trading cards BEFORE he started calling attention to his sexuality...nobody was willing to pay a dollar for one.)

A cure for ALS. I hope that day comes very soon. The day when two idiots can wear identical outfits and prance down an aisle and call themselves "married?" Not a priority. A day when one's sexuality doesn't matter? That's never gonna happen, because people of ANY sexuality, fetish or idiotic preoccupation with their genitalia, are going to carry on about it, and frankly, be turned on ONLY if others disapprove. An exception might be having sex with someone who has ALS. This IS a fucked up world. Jason Collins can still marvel about just how fucked up it is. Brad Drewett can't.
