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.

This kid is misreading the Raiders’ motto “Pride and Poise.”
Notice that the article never gives any sales figures, the number of jerseys....

“And I’ll bet your bottom dollar that every one of those who bought them could name two NFL teams.”
And I bet one of the teams is the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
And the Yugo was the best-selling compact car manufactured in an Eastern European country. So what? Given the current popularity of woke professional sports, I’m thinking it’s not much of a bar to clear.
And I heard Chris Plante report this morning that Nasib has also “come out” as a Republican and that he voted for President Trump. Plante predicted that Nasib will most likely become a “non-entity” within 48 hours. I’m not joking about this.
Citation?
I can’t find that anywhere.
I heard it late in the 3d hour of the Christ Plante Show on WMAL radio this morning. WMAL.com

Biden came out and praised him...
“He even put it on the back of his jersey.”
Absolutely, he wasn’t shy about his sexual preference at all!
What are they going to say - Nasdib jersey sales remain where they were a year ago ? Of course not. That’s not a story
