Mavs owner Mark Cuban on Jason Collins: “We already know there’s more gay players in the league”

An openly gay NBA player graced the floor of the American Airlines Center for the first time in history on Sunday.

Brooklyn Nets center Jason Collins was in town for his team’s matchup with the Dallas Mavericks.

-snip-

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, a board member for the pro-LGBT group Athlete Ally, was asked about Collins prior to the game.

“We already know there’s more gay players in the league,” Cuban told The Dallas Morning News. “Whether they come out or not is irrelevant. It’s just personal preference. There’s no reason to ever, ever discuss anybody’s sexuality because that’s their private business and there’s no reason to start now.”

[font color=green]Oh noes, it can't be!

I use to think of Mark Cuban as brash and arrogant, but he has mellowed out and allied himself on the correct side of many social issues lately.[/font]

I'm inclined to just shrug and so okay, whatever.

I watch him on Shark Tank and he, Barbara, and Robert are essentially the show liberals, Cuban and Robert especially so, IMO.
