Carl Nassib, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end, making sports
history, and just plain history, by coming out as gay this week, and becoming
the first active player in NFL history to do so:
“What’s
up people? I’m at my house here in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I just want 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 enough to get it off my chest. I
really have the best life, I’ve got the best family, friends and job a guy
could 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 would not have been able to do this without
[the NFL, the Raiders organization, my coaches and teammates]. From the jump, I
was greeted with the utmost respect and acceptance …
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 going to do my best and do my part to
cultivate a culture that’s accepting, that’s compassionate and I’m going to
start by donating $100,000 to the Trevor Project.”
Welcome out, Carl, and please accept as out gift from HOMO
HQ, your official copy of the Gay Agenda and the Coming Out Toaster Oven™.
You have done a great thing for athletes, football players
and professional sports. We’ve been waiting a long time for player to come out and here you are. Thank you.
Sidenote: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell applauded Nassib
for living his truth:
“The NFL family is proud of Carl for courageously sharing
his truth today. 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.”
PS The NFL has matched Carl Nassib’s $100,000 donation to the
Trevor Project. PPS Carl is hot.

For clarification purposes, are the "we're hearing" coming from the same sources that "many, many people are saying"?
ReplyDeleteI thought General Milley's riposte was wonderful "I've read Marx, Lenin and Mao ze Dong and I'm not a communist [paraphrased]" but I doubt that that repulsive Gaetz creature was bright enough to notice the putdown - his smirk just told you how clever he thought he was being.
Ohhh General Milley let them HAVE IT. And did you read that he read Nosferatu (Steven Miller) for filth? Oh, what a man can do. General Milley was holding Cheeto from massacring Americans.
ReplyDeleteLindsay can go suck... wait.
Levin and Morris are spreading the lie. Hopefully, they'll end up like Ghouliani.
Yum. Carl is yummy. You know how I feel about men who are over six foot tall... And thanks for having the toaster oven handy!!
XOXO
Hope Carl Nassib enjoys his toaster oven!
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
I'm ready to welcome Carl Nassib!!!!!! Could this be the huge turning point for huge sports athletes?
ReplyDeleteAnd was Andrew Giuliani the inspiration for Bugs Bunny? What's Up Doc?
One of the thing the GOP fears the most is education. They have always attacked educators who teach the truth about history because the GOP only want their distorted version of history taught. Plus, the dumber the voter, the more likely they will vote for the GOP. Usually, the higher the education a person has, the more likely they’ll vote for Democrats.
ReplyDeleteCarl Nassib and General Mark Milley, thank you both (and the NFL, too)!
ReplyDeleteThe rest should have their license to speak revoked.
Did Rudy and Donny have a son together? Named him Andy? UGH!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on Carl Nassib - wow just gorgeous (and well done to you sir). As for Giuliani - looks like a frickin' gopher. Is there any chance he's related to Eric Trump?
ReplyDeleteI'd be more than happy to help Carl get that toaster all set up and toast a few buns - - -
ReplyDeleteBRAVO to Carl Nassib!
ReplyDelete@Helen
ReplyDeleteThat’s the GOP way …”someone told” them but they don’t remember who.
Milley also apparently at a White House meeting told Stephen Miller to “shut the fuck up.”
@Six
Milley outranks everyone.
Miss Lindsey. Pfffft.
Levin and Miller can do what Milley told Miller.
Carl is a tall mountain I’d love to climb.
@TDM
Me,too!
@Maddie
I hope Carl’s coming out helps others; it’d be a great thing.
As soon as I get done scaling Mt Carl, I’ll send him along.
Andrew looks like Eric The Dumb One … I think they share Daddies.
@Joe
Knowledge is power, which says a lot about the GOP.
@Mitchell
I thought after you thanked Carl and the General, you were gonna go all Anne Marie and tell the others to, ahem, ”FOAD! GOPricks!”
@Deedles
It’s gross about Thing 45 and Nosferatu’s grandchild, but Andrew and Eric look like brothers.
@Treaders
Hot and smart and compassionate and out!! Good for Carl.
I think Eric is Thing 45’s love child with one of Rudy’s exes.
@Carl
Get in line …
@Debra
He made a huge step forward for gay athletes.
So many cheats, so many liars. The biggest power grab was done by the Republicans under Loser #45, and they're still trying to kill any attempt to let it go.
ReplyDeleteI'm not interested in football, but I'm interested in Carl Nassib. We can just be friends, Carl. That's all I want. Rudy's boy is as much of a tool as his father. Lindsey never looked better than he does in that pretty bonnet.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I intitially DID go all Anne Marie, but I deleted it and decided I am sadly NOT Anne Marie.
ReplyDelete@Dave
ReplyDeleteThe GOP doesn't see what they did as a power grab, just obeying orders from Hair Furor.
@Janie
Carl could maybe just come by my house and do a little yardwork ... shirtless, and I'd be fine.
@Mitchell
True, there was just the one!
Yes to shirtless yard work!!! I used to have a hot young neighbor who worked in the yard sans shirt. He was a thrill.
ReplyDeleteWow... this is a lot to digest.
ReplyDeleteHow can one be too woke? And why isn't Matt Gaetz in jail yet? Love General Milley's reply. Point on. I do believe he done won this war of words.
Ms. Lindsey Grahamcrackers is talking out of both sides of her flatulate neck. What she's saying makes zero sense. It's word salad.
Mark Levin and FOX... sigh. I guess lie if you've got nothing else? Interesting 'news' programming.
Newsmax is absolute trash. Do people watch it? Old white men should not be talking about or making decisions about CRT. Just saying. That's like letting old white men make decisions about women's bodies... oh, wait a minute...
Love Andrew... he makes Cokehead Jr. look like a political possibility.
Dear NFL... so the trick is... come out after the draft. Oh, we've seen what you do when they come out in college and even though they are talented, you discount them. Not buying it. The NFL is still a homophobic crapfest.
Thanks, sorry so late to the party.
Dick Morris is a nut. Ditto Mark Levin. Giuliani's kid obviously isn't thinking very deeply about his father's situation -- it stands to reason that most appointed officials would have been installed by Democrats, because Democrats have in recent decades run the state. (With the exception of Pataki.) It's not like it's a conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteOh, and while I personally liked what Milley had to say, I admit I winced when he said, "I've read Mao Tse Tung. I've read Karl Marx." Because I knew it would be taken out of context by the Right -- and it has been.
