Raiders Carl Nassib becomes first openly gay player in NFL

[Dr Positivity]

There should be more active players that come out, I don't think it's that big of a deal, at some point you would think the dam breaks. I'm still waiting for a major star to drop the bombshell.

Yeah, players sharing their sexual orientations is such a bizarre way for us to all move forward, but I really hope for those players (and especially Nassib) that more come out.

Nice to hear Carr's comments supporting Nassib, and great to see his jersey sales spike. That's an encouraging start.

This is so needed. So many youth are so scared to come out and this helps. Go Carl!! (i may or may not have hit up his dm’s)

It's for a sure a big deal in the NFL culture (and the culture of men's sports in general). Hopefully one day it won't be a big deal.
