Las Vegas Raiders DE Carl Nassib has top-selling NFL jersey at Fanatics in day since announcement
ESPN ^ | 6/22

Posted on 06/22/2021 9:13:50 PM PDT by nickcarraway

In the 24 hours since Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay, the Las Vegas Raiders defensive end's jersey has been the top-selling item across the league, according to Fanatics.

Nassib, 28, made the announcement Monday in a video posted to Instagram from his house in West Chester, Pennsylvania. In the video, Nassib says, "I just want to take a quick moment to say that I'm gay. I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but I finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest. I really have the best life, I've got the best family, friends and job a guy could ask for. I'm a pretty private person so I hope you guys know that I'm really not doing this for attention. I just think that representation and visibility are so important."

Fanatics, the NFL's official e-commerce partner, said Nassib has had the top-selling NFL jersey Monday and Tuesday across the company's network of online stores.

Pushing the “This is normal” narrative. The left just kills the right with their PR moves. Slowly and surely, convincing even more people to move to the left of center.

It sounds to me like he is contradicting himself. He and his homosexual pals had to know, this would be a huge story, with him as the center of attention.

Perverts attract perverts? So the Vegas team will become known as homosexuals? Maybe Pink and Black for team colors?

"I just want to take a quick moment to say that I'm gay.

Really?! Well, I just want to take a quick moment to say that I'm heterosexual.

Was it necessary to say that? The author explains:

"I just think that representation and visibility are so important."

WHY are they important? WHY is announcing your sexuality (except to prospective partners) important?

Regards,

His mom and dad must be so proud. Because, as the Left would have us all believe every mom and dad wishes for a son whose proclivity is to penetrate another man’s crapper.
Not one mom and dad ever dreams that one day their son will meet a wonderful woman and give them Grandchildren.
No. That is not even in their remotest thoughts. God’s plan for man and woman is not even a consideration if you believe the Leftist Dems.

And I’ll bet your bottom dollar that every one of those who bought them could name two NFL teams.

LOL! Noooooo! As if I need another reason not to watch the NFL.

Apparently he has a gay porn video online people can view as well.

What an example for our youth.

#9. Don’t know about him playing tight end but what I to know (or maybe not know) would be what happens if the quarterback grabbed the wrong ball from the center when it was served to him.

If true shows how debased we’ve become

I know this sound crazy but some far right I know view tenets of Islam favorably over this issue of queerdom

And Roger Goodell is proud of him! Why the need to publicize who you want to have sex with? It’s a daily push in the face of America.
