Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib on Monday became the first active NFL player to come out as gay.
“What’s up people,” Nassib said in a video posted to Instagram on Monday. “I’m at my house in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but finally feel comfortable getting it off my chest. I really have the best life, the best family, friends and job a guy can ask for.
“I’m a pretty private person so I hope you guys know that I’m not doing this for attention. I just think that representation and visibility are so important. I actually hope that one day, videos like this and the whole coming out process are not necessary, but until then I will do my best and my part to cultivate a culture that’s accepting and compassionate and I’m going to start by donating $100,000 to the Trevor Project. They’re an incredible organization, they’re the number one suicide-prevention service for LGBTQ youth in America.”

Don’t take a knee and you’ll be fine.
Yay, another colon spelunker. Like I care.

Historic NFL moment? Never was a fan of football. I see I haven’t missed anything.
We do not care if this person is gay. We do not care if the clerk at your local grocery store is gay. Stop acting like we all need to know what you do in your bedroom. We don’t.
Smart, waiting till they moved to Vegas to announce.
Methinks, outmail?
“Historic” my a$$.
Is this even considered brave anymore? I think someone coming out as heterosexual would have a more difficult time.
This fad is getting old.
The Fearsome Foursome……
The Purple People Eaters…..
The Heinee Humper…..
What, you think that news wouldn’t have played well in Oakland? :)
He likes ‘touch’ football....
The price of gay in society may be way, way down to the point it’s an asset with some but in eternity non-repentance is still vastly more expensive than anyone can pay themselves.

The game is great. Some that play the game, are fine people.
You do miss that.
