Teisip\u00e4eval suri 47-aasta vanuselt endine NBA korvpallur Jason Collins, kes l\u00e4ks USA spordiajalukku sellega, et oli esimene avalik gei sealsetes suurtes profiliigades.<\/p>\n
Collins avalikustas oma seksuaalse orientatsiooni 2013. aastal ajakirjas Sports Illustrated, kui oli juba \u00fcsna karj\u00e4\u00e4ri l\u00f5pul. “Kui ma avalikult oma seksuaalsusest r\u00e4\u00e4kisin, siis see oli huvitav,” meenutas Collins mullu novembris intervjuus ESPN-ile. “V\u00e4ga erakordne, aga ma sain j\u00e4rjest k\u00f5ned Oprah Winfreylt ja president Barack Obamalt.”<\/p>\n
“President Obama \u00fctles: palju \u00f5nne – see, mis te t\u00e4na tegite, avaldab positiivset m\u00f5ju kellelegi, keda te oma eluaja jooksul ehk ei kohta.”<\/p>\n
Collins suri ajuv\u00e4hi tagaj\u00e4rjel, millest ta r\u00e4\u00e4kis esimest korda mullu septembris.<\/p>\n
NBA-s pallis Collins aastatel 2001-2014 kokku 735 p\u00f5hihooaja m\u00e4ngus, esindades New Jersey Netsi, Memphis Grizzliest, Minnesota Timberwolvesi, Atlanta Hawksi, Boston Celticsit, Washington Wizardsit ja Brooklyn Netsi.<\/p>\n
Collinsi surmale esitas j\u00e4releh\u00fc\u00fcde ka NBA komissar Adam Silver. “Jason Collinsi m\u00f5ju ulatus korvpallist kaugemale, kuna ta aitas muuta NBA, WNBA ja laiema spordikogukonna tulevastele p\u00f5lvkondadele kaasavamaks ja k\u00fclalislahkemaks,” teatas ta.<\/p>\n
“Ta oli oma 13-aastase NBA karj\u00e4\u00e4ri ja p\u00fchendunud t\u00f6\u00f6 NBA Cares saadikuna eeskujuks silmapaistvas juhtimises ja professionaalsuses. Jasonit m\u00e4letatakse mitte ainult barj\u00e4\u00e4ride murdmise, vaid ka lahkuse ja inimlikkuse eest, mis iseloomustas nii tema enda elu kui ka puudutas nii paljusid teisi.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Teisip\u00e4eval suri 47-aasta vanuselt endine NBA korvpallur Jason Collins, kes l\u00e4ks USA spordiajalukku sellega, et oli esimene avalik…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[5919,26,27,37,33,35,34,36,31,32,21,79839,28,29,4391,19,25,23,24,22,20,30],"class_list":{"0":"post-177431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eesti","8":"tag-adam-silver","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-ee","12":"tag-eesti","13":"tag-eesti-keel","14":"tag-estonia","15":"tag-estonian","16":"tag-featured-news","17":"tag-featurednews","18":"tag-headlines","19":"tag-jason-collins","20":"tag-latest-news","21":"tag-latestnews","22":"tag-nba","23":"tag-news","24":"tag-populaarseimad-lood","25":"tag-top-stories","26":"tag-topstories","27":"tag-uldised-uudised","28":"tag-uudised","29":"tag-viimased-uudised"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ee\/116569331746472402","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
