According to Tim Brando’s dictionary, Jason Collins is not a hero.
With Collins’ decision to come out and his eloquent editorial for Sports Illustrated dominating conversation in the sports world on Monday, the CBS play-by-play announcer and radio host ranted on Twitter about the “hero worship” occurring. Expressing a sentiment that echoed one shared by Ben Shapiro, editor-at-large for Breitbart.com, Brando railed against those who consider Collins to be a hero for becoming the first active openly gay athlete in any of the major U.S. team sports.
