Raider is teh ghey

Thought anyone who puts one of those jerseys was automatically openly gay but I guess this is a thing.

Disclaimer: I don't care who ****s who amongst consenting adults.

I'm kind of surprised that we (until now) haven't had an active NFL player who has been "out." Seems like it should almost be a non-issue these days.

Damn, maybe Billay will be a Raiders fan now.

"Gay Man Comes Out of Closet As Raiders Player"

“Our DE rides around with an uzi, yours rides around with a dildo!”

He later added that while he is gay, he does not find Raiders owner Mark Davis attractive at all.

You forget Michael Sam?

I, for one, am completely shocked. I simply cannot believe that Prison Bitch didn’t start this thread within minutes of the story breaking.

That pillowbiter doesn’t count since he never made a roster.

He never played.

Orlando Brown Jr. every time we play the Raiders:

“Stay down pillowbiter”

Good for him!

Derek Carr is gonna put on his best mascara.

Ryan O’Callaghan

Thought he came out after retirement?

I hope he kneels too, for the rage effect.

He waited until well after retiring though

I'd rather Frank Clark ride with a dildo.

IIRC he came out when he was playing bc he had that long talk with fat Scott about his struggles.

Pretty sure they knew when he was a player

It’s just a joke…

Now that you mention it, yeah you're right

He talked about how Pioli was totally cool about it etc

My new favorite player

He thought it was important you know.

Good for him. And thanks to him for doing it today so he could push Frank Clark to page two.

How fast do u think u can make him cum

Bragging about meeting Taylor Swift in the context of why he didn't buy a Rolex should have been a clue.

Its ESPN's top story on the web it must be important or something.

It was also important to ESPN that you know.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Yes. This.

The Raiders literally do suck.

I wish he would come out as a pass rusher

LMAO

I really never cared who you go to sleep with at night. What’s the big deal? I am also a republican for $$$ reasons. Again. Who gives 2 shits who you go to sleep with at night?

brilliant career move

Laying the foundation for his, "I was concussed straight" book and movie. When out of the league in a few months.

You could say he's working on his ability to penetrate.

Geez... he really has a mean streak to him!

Does being a racist make someone great?

Being a serial killer?

A wife beater?

In TODAYS SOCIETY, I personally do not care - more power to him

Chasing sacks on and off the football field

Is he gap sound?

do NOT google 'sounding.'

How good is this guy?

I am speaking hypothetically, but say you were a fringe player, and you think you might get cut before the final roster is set. If you come out as gay, in today's climate you may be able to force the team to keep you on the roster, at least for a couple of weeks until the media coverage dies down.

Sorry if this has already been said, I am just too tired to read the entire thread on my phone.

The Raiders pass rush is asshole, he wasn't gonna get cut unless he was awful.

No, it hasn't been said. WTF?

Hopefully this will encourage the rest of their roster

I am just saying that a player coming out as gay could put the team in an uncomfortable position if they were to cut him.

The implication would be that he was cut because he was gay, even if that's not the reason. Social media, especially Twitter, could start targeting the team, head coach, etc. in several different ways in retaliation for what they could consider bigotry and homophobia.

They could even target team sponsors like Coke or Pepsi, etc. Look at the pressure put on companies that did business in Georgia after the voter suppression bill was passed.

I am not saying it would be right, but I can see a team keeping that player on the roster just to avoid any possible backlash, at least for a week or two.

Shouldn’t this officially go in “the Raiders Suck” thread?

That happened with Michael Sam. Though there was plenty of evidence that he sucked, before he was cut. Ironically, it happened more when Dallas cut him than it did when the Rams did. I guess it's because they drafted him. Who knows?

Michael Sam- Need a link?

Well, this will end up being a shitstorm. The team and players will now go under a woke microscope. The media will be waiting to pounce on anybody who says anything even remotely negative, while pumping Nassib up the greatest player ever, regardless of his abilities.

I'd rather it happened to Denver, but the Fade is nearly as good.

:LOL: Yep!

So Gruden being a shitty coach makes him great?

Eh. Obviously there have been gay players before but now there might be some $$$ in this.

I thought this already happened; isn’t Carr openly gay?

There haven't been any active, employed gay players.

Other than Michael Sam, who barely satisfies the "active, employed" part, other gay players have waited until after retirement to come out.

I mean ones who were open. I am sure there have been ones who said nothing.

According to the press releases from the NFL and the articles from NFL.com and ESPN, Nassib is the first active player to come out of the closet.

Other than Michael Sam (whose entire story is chronicled in the NFL.com article) I can't think of another active player coming out. They've all been retired.

NAW, MONGO STRAIGHT!

Or it might make your career more difficult and there may be less $$$ in it.

I think it's pretty well known that the NFL "fraternity" is far less tolerant than the NFL public corporation.

We all saw the Tweets from the NFL and the Raiders PR department yesterday. Looks like unicorns and rainbows on the surface but you can pretty much bet it's not all roses in the locker room.

Also, Nassib is pretty much guaranteed this year anyway. And unlike Michael Sam is good enough to be around for a while. So the raiders weren't going to cut him anyway. Maybe he just came out because he felt like it? Crazy thought.

Sure. Who knows. Maybe he just has friends on the team and they already know, or didn't care.

Yeah, my personal opinion is that people looking for ulterior motives are wasting their time.

The dude finally felt ready to come out and so he did. Possibly the timing of it was tweaked to coincide with Pride month but other than that, I just don't see anything huge he gets (or doesn't get) by doing so.

Wonder if any Raiders players will come out as straight

I'm pretty sure Eric Winston was Gay for Casshole...

Not long after his announcement, the NFL expressed its support of Nassib on Twitter with its shield icon emblazoned in the rainbow colors of Pride Month.




LMAO

Well, THAT sure didn't take long. :rolleyes:

They changed it weeks ago.

Oh, for ****'s sake.

:facepalm:

They may have all been retired before they came out but there have been plenty of closeted gay men in the NFL over the years, which is what makes Nassib's announcement all the more courageous.

I'm absolutely certain he'll hear about it, not from teammates, but from opposing fans. Millennials and Gen Z'ers don't find shame in homosexuality and they're 6 times as likely as previous generations to be homosexual.

You’re lying again Dane. Nearly all the rise in youth LGBT has come from women who identify as “bisexual”.

Yep, that was exactly my point. He's the first player to tell the guys he shares a locker room with that he's gay. Like I said, locker rooms are notoriously anti-gay, it's well known.
