Aren't twins supposed to have that telepathic thing where they think alike? Then how come Jarron Collins is still chillin' in the blind spot of the public eye? Not only that, how come he is giving his twin brother even more notoriety by broadcasting his terrible golf swing? Hell, after Jason did that whole "being the first active, openly homosexual NBA player" thing everyone had already forgotten Jarron Collins even existed. Now he's going use his Instagram account to give his brother even more popularity? Seems a little counterproductive to the sibling rivalry. Sure, posting your brother swinging a golf club like a gay dude, for lack of a better term, may seem like a good way to poke fun of him, until you realize sucking at golf is actually good for your brand. Don't believe me? Ask Charles Barkley. He follows through with a 4 iron like someone accidentally sat on the remote during his swing, and he gets to play in charity golf tournaments every other weekend because of it. He's a Hall Of Fame basketball player, and he's most beloved for looking like he has Parkinson's when he's on the tee box. The best thing you can do for your approval rating, other than coming out of the closet, is to look like you're taking a 'goofy' stance on a skateboard and whacking away aimlessly like a kindergartener playing tee ball. I got to give it to Jason Collins, for someone whose post game left much to be desired, he certainly knows the right moves to make to keeping himself relevant. Maybe one day he can teach Jarron, you know, the straight one.
P.S. No, but seriously, someone needs to help him fix whatever the hell that was. You can't be a pioneer for homosexuality in professional sports and get up there hacking away like a toddler who just got his first set of orange and yellow plastic clubs. Feeds into far too many negative stereotypes. Especially when the LGBT athletic community is still trying to recover from all the damage Michael Sam did to their reputation.
