NFL

The staff here at Notjustnoise.com has taken a stand. We are no longer supporting the NFL. The oppressive actions of the league and its ownership has left a lot to be desired. We feel that a league, comprised of a mostly African-American athletes should be sensitive to the plight of those players and their community. We see it like this…If a player is banned for standing up for people that look like us, we have a decision to make. Continue to support with our time and money those that punish the ones that stand for us or find somewhere else to focus our resources. We choose the latter. You can draw your line in the sand wherever you want, we choose right here, right now.

“I’m a 34-year-old N.B.A. center. I’m black and I’m gay,” Jason Collins, who finished this season with the Washington Wizards, writes in the May 6 edition of Sports Illustrated. The magazine published the article online Monday morning.

With that statement, Collins became the first openly gay male athlete who is still active in a major American team sport. Other gay athletes, including the former N.B.A. center John Amaechi, have waited until retirement to divulge their sexuality publicly. t
