Charles Barkley was bold and courageous when he called out, during the NBA program in which he participates and in prime time during a playoff game, that the society we live in is still homophobic, and that in sports in general, and the NBA in particular, there are many gay players who don't dare to come out for fear of reprisals. All of this arose from the death of Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player.
