Fix your faces, boys . Brooklyn Nets Considering Signing Gay Player Jason Collins Via NYPost Nets general manager Billy King confirmed Thursday afternoon the Nets have worked out free agent center Jason Collins, and he could potentially be signed by the team to fill its need for a reliable defensive presence in the paint. “We’re going to look at anybody that’s a free agent that’s big that’s out there,” King said on a conference call with reporters following Thursday’s trade deadline. “We’re going to look at anybody that’s in the D-League that’s big, we’re going to look at anybody coming back from China. We’ll explore all of them. “Jason Collins is a free agent and he’s out there, so obviously he’ll be included in the list.” Collins, who famously came out in an article in Sports Illustrated last May and would be the first openly gay athlete to compete in one the four major professional American sports, hasn’t been signed by anyone this season, and has been staying in shape in California, where the Nets worked him out recently. “During the [All-Star Break] I was back East, so I didn’t work him out,” King said. “He’s in shape.” King says signing Collins would be strictly a matter of basketball, not hype. “We’re going to bring in a basketball player,” he said. “It’s not about marketing or anything like that. If we’re bringing somebody in, we’re bringing them in because we feel they can help our basketball team. “It’s not about marketing. We’re beyond doing something for gimmicks. We’re trying to get a guy to play basketball and help us win. That’s not my focus on any of that.” Might not be YOUR focus, but it might be the focus of some of the guys in the locker room…

Frances Bean Cobain is not letting Kendall Jenner off the hook. After the former slammed the latter as a self-absorbed idiot for Tweeting about the difficulty of her life, Jenner responded in fairly reasonable fashion. She acknowledged her good fortune in life, but also took Cobain to task for judging her, essentially asking: Can’t wealthy people have problems, too? So, with the contentious ball in Frances’ Twitter court, the 20-year old wrote back last night with a semi-apology (“I don’t know you nor do I think ur a bad person”), followed by a bashing of both Kendall and many social media users in general: “Publicly complaining about how hard your life is is completely self serving … I believe that venting about ones problems via the Internet is a blatant cry for attention. ” Cobain concluded with words of wisdom/mockery: “I try to deal w/ pain in a manner that pertains to my real life not in a way where strangers throw me a pity party.” Is Cobain out of line? Do you agree with her assessment of self-serving Tweets overall? Should Kendall just shut up already? Choose a side in this feud: Team Kendall Team Frances Team Who the Heck Cares?!? View Poll »

Robbie Rogers has signed a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer, meaning he will soon become the first openly gay athlete to participate in an American team sport. The former U.S. national team wing blogged in February that he was both homosexual and taking a break from the sport, writing at the time: “Secrets can cause so much internal damage. People love to preach about honesty, how honesty is so plain and simple. Try explaining to your loved ones after 25 years you are gay.” Since that time, Jason Collins has come out as gay and Rogers has received support from his friends and family members, along with players in the MLS. Rogers told USA Today that his decision to return to the field was influence by a speaking engagement last month in front of a group of about 500 children at the Nike Be True LGBT Youth Forum in Portland, Oregon. “I seriously felt like a coward,” he told the newspaper. “These kids are standing up for themselves and changing the world, and I’m 25, I have a platform and a voice to be a role model. How much of a coward was I to not step up to the plate?” It’s unclear when Rogers will see his first game action, though Los Angeles plays tomorrow night. He also said he has an eye on making the 2014 World Cup squad.
