What an awesome day, Carl Nassib a defensive end for the Raiders came out as gay on his instagram today. In the video Nassib said " I just want to take a quick moment to say that I'm gay....I've been meaning to do this for awhile now but I finally feel comfortable". Such good shit, you can tell by the video Nassib is just so happy about it and will be an amazing advocated for the LGBT community. He stated that he is donating $100k to the Trevor Project, which is a non-profit organization that focuses on suicide prevention programs for LGBT youths. There has never been an openly gay NFL player to play in a regular season NFL game, which is about to change due the the fact Nassbib just signed a 3 year $25 million deal with the Raiders last year. Michael Sam came out as gay before the 2014 NFL draft and was drafted by the Rams but never made a regular season roster.
Nassib who was a 3rd draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2016 and has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nassib played his college football at Penn State and was named BIG10 defensive player of the year in 2015. Honestly, in a world where everything is so dark and sad this is an amazing story and great for Carl!
