Is this even considered brave anymore? I think someone coming out as heterosexual would have a more difficult time. This fad is getting old.

Fact of the matter, is Nassib was, at best, a borderline player. Injuries last year had his play counts seriously limited, he was good for, maybe, half the snaps. He's 28, banged up, they drafted his replacement this spring, and he knows he's on the bubble to make the roster. This is his ace in the hole to make ANY team's roster, and he played it at just the right time. Scumbag.

I *DON'T* want to see him kneeling on the sidelines... but maybe he can play for Detroit.

In a related move, the Raiders have chosen to move Nassib from tight end to wide receiver.

Hey, I’ve been meaning to get this off my chest. I’m straight, married to the father of our kids and never cheated. Where’s my historic headlines?

Well, if you're a fella, than that's...
Oh, wait, probably you're not. Get back in the crowd, y'normal!

Now he’ll be always a starter, never can be cut, management will have to kowtow to every contract whim, and every block on him will be holding or some other offensive penalty.

Nah, the league is still too competitive. His snaps and productivity has fallen every year.

You're right in that he'll get a hero's welcome, but he's trying to tip the scales a little bit in his favor as to making the 53rd roster spot and getting some advertising dollars. This is a desperation move, so much that I kind of wonder if he's a 'mo at all.

Actually it’s a sword. A double edged sword. America cannot survive as a nation if it is run by God rejecting atheists. Liberty is a gift from God. Man’s natural instinct is for tyranny.

They were not Christians. Christians are by definition followers of Christ. Those people are followers of men. The blind leading the blind.

Do you think Atheists can save America? Or will it take the same kind of divine intervention that brought this nation out of tyranny in the first place?

They were not Christians.

They claim they are. It is not my fault they don't wear signs that say "P-Marlowe says we are not real Christians."

Carl I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that you’re not gay, and that I don’t pay any attention to crazy people.
