CARL NASSIB ES EL PRIMER JUGADOR GAY ACTIVO EN LA NFL
On a June afternoon in the offseason, Carl Nassib has made NFL history as the first active player to come out as gay.
The Raiders defensive lineman, a league veteran of five years, made the announcement on Monday via Instagram.
«What’s up people,» Nassib posted on Instagram. «I’m at my house in West Chester, Pennsylvania. 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 finally feel comfortable getting it off my chest. I really have the best life, 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 not doing this for attention. I just think that representation and visibility are so important. I actually hope that one day, videos like this and the whole coming out process are not necessary, but until then I will do my best and my part to cultivate a culture that’s accepting and compassionate and I’m going to start by donating $100,000 to the Trevor Project. They’re an incredible organization, they’re the number one suicide-prevention service for LGBTQ youth in America.»
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell later issued the following statement in support of Nassib’s announcement.
«The NFL family is proud of Carl for courageously sharing his truth today,» Goddell wrote. «Representation matters. We share his hope that someday soon statements like his will no longer be newsworthy as we march toward full equality for the LGBTQ+ community. We wish Carl the best of luck this coming season.»
