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.

1984. Some things never change.
Surrreeee he does.
Imagine if you could track down the addresses of where every one of those jerseys were delivered.
I’ll go out on a limb and say about 96% of them went to a location where the residents proudly display their Pride/Rainbow Flag.
Its not normal in any sense of the word.
Its an abberation, an exception that proves the rule.
Natural and normal are not the same words.
And even so, its not even natural. By its incredibly small percentage, it proves itself to be unnatural.
A small percentage of people have a mindset that makes them commit suicide. No one comsiders this normal or natural. All living things have an inherent drive to keep living. That is natural. By definition suicide is not natural, and the fact a small percentage of people commit suicide makes it by definition, not normal.
Same with any warping of sexuality. A very small minority of any perversion is not natural, the natural pattern is to be attracted to the opposite sex in order for the species to produce the next generation. The fact very small percentages ever do it, by definition, make it not normal.
evidence of variance does not disprove the existence of a well-established, fundamental pattern.
perverts support perverts......and don’t be surprised that the team ownership itself is buying these jerseys.....
Who cares?
“In the 24 hours since Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay.”
I thought William Gay was the first, and he never hid it?
Defensive line.
oh well, how pleasant! I guess I’ll have to quit watching the nfl. Oh! Wait! I already did that back with the whole kneeling...
NORMAL -VS- ABNORMAL. NORMAL = the human race continues. ABNORMAL = the death of the human race.
Why does this have to be ANY of my concern? I WILL TELL YOU WHY!!! Because he feels guilt, but he places the blame for his guilt. NOT upon himself and his unnatural behavior... but upon ANYONE who doesn’t agree with the perversion. In his perverse world, the reason he feels perverse is because you don’t accept him as “normal”.
He sure won’t be a “tight end”!
I Will go farther and say that every bit of that money was extracted from the taxpayer at the point of a gun.
This explains why Carl spends all his spare time in the team shower.
He guaranteed himself several years in the NFL with a multi million dollar salary. No team would dare cut him now.
Seems like it’s all about your gonads today. I thought this was resolved in the 1970’s?
Woke 2021 cocktail party...so who/what are you doing in bed tonight? File under who the heck cares! Sounds like a personal story and you do you or whomever you want.... don’t need the details. Truly!
Did he take showers with Jerry Sandusky?
The Las Vegas Rump Raiders.
