Following the death of former NBA player Jason Collins this week, fellow basketball icon Charles Barkley reflected on Collins’ legacy and the barriers LGBTQ+ athletes still face in professional sports, more than a decade after Collins became the first openly gay active player in a major North American men’s sports league. Speaking on ‘Inside the NBA’ on Wednesday (13 May), Barkley said that if another active NBA player came out today, “it would still be a big deal because we live in a homophobic society, and that’s unfortunate.” He added, “Anybody who think we ain’t got a bunch of gay players in all sports, they’re just stupid. But, there is such animosity towards the gay community, and that’s what’s really unfortunate.” Collins publicly came out in 2013 through a first-person essay in Sports Illustrated, later becoming a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports and public life. Collins’ family shared on 12 May that he died peacefully at his home in Los Angeles after battling brain cancer. In a statement released through the NBA, his loved ones said: “We are heartbroken to share that Jason Collins, our beloved husband, son, brother and uncle, has died after a valiant fight with glioblastoma.” 📷 Getty
