Jason Collins is cool but to be honest only hardcore hoop heads have ever heard of him. How long will it be until a big time player comes out?

10 years ago or so....this would've been almost impossible for a male athlete to come out gay.
The progress that has occurred is amazing and gives me hope for better days in this country amidst all the nonsense.
You'll see more gay athletes come out because they finally feel that this nation is ready to embrace and tolerate them instead of shunning, ridiculing, and saying hateful things.
And that is a testament to the hard work of those that stand up for what is right.
America....welcome to 2013.
To those that are still living in 1950, please stop, join us, the future is not scary, we'll get through it together.

First, there has to be a "big time player" who is actually gay, and depending on your definition of "big time", that would depend on the odds one of them are actually gay.
Good for him for coming out, and good for fellow athletes who are fine with it.
