Raiders Carl Nassib becomes first openly Gay NFL Football Player

“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 I finally feel comfortable getting it off my chest.”

“I really have the best life. I got 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 really not doing this for attention. I just think that representation and visibility are so important.”

“I actually hope that like one day, videos like this and the whole coming out process are just not necessary, but until then I’m gonna do my best and do my part to cultivate a culture that’s accepting, that’s compassionate.”

Good for him. Like he said, hopefully one day this won’t be a big deal and no announcements need to be made. If you want to stay up to date on viral stories like these, go ahead and hit that subscribe button below. Oh, you done? Thank you!

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib opened up about his personal life, explaining how he finally feels comfortable letting the world know he’s an openly gay man in the NFL.

The 28-year-old noted he’s “agonized” over this announcement for 15 years but said the support of his friends, family, teammates and coaches made his Monday announcement much easier. Nassib is in the middle of a 3-year, $25 MILLION contract with the Raiders.

Nassib said in order to ensure he takes the proper steps to making that goal a reality. he’s donating $100,000 to The Trevor Project, an organization created to help prevent suicides in the LGBTQ+ community.

“For someone like me, who has been so lucky and cherishes every day, it brings me incredible sadness to think that our LGBTQ youth are at such an elevated risk for suicide.”

“I feel an immense responsibility to help in any way I can — and you can too.”

Nassib was a star at Penn State — and was selected in the 3rd round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.

During his college career, Nassib was a consensus All-American in 2015, the same year he won Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year. He also won the Ted Hendricks Award for the best defensive end in the country.

I think Nassib deserves a big congratulations as it takes a lot of strength to do that. Representation matters. And he’s using his money and status to help out people similar to him.

NEW FOOTAGE! Amber Heard CAUGHT in WORST LIE YET | Johnny Depp Trial

Image
Amber in a never-before-seen deposition from 2016, was caught in an obvious lie to cover her own tracks, or should, I say, skids? Please don’t forget to subscribe.   Here she is pretending that her Teacup Yorkies are larger than they actually are because she knew at this point the size of the grumpy left on the bed could never come from such a tiny toy dog.   She described her dog as “Yorkies” to make them seem like the 7 pound larger breed, but they were teacup Yorkies, which are notably smaller weighing in at 2 to 4 pounds.   Notice how the size of her dogs kept getting bigger as she described them, cause she knew she was caught in a lie. She eventually landed on the idea that her dogs were the size of bricks, similar to a 90s television. She essentially described a pouf ottoman, which prompted numerous memes.   After the incident, she went on a trip to a Coachella where she’s seen having a blast after apparently just been brutalized by Johnny. Johnny’s personal se...
