NFL world has come together after Las Vegas Raiders’ Carl Nassib became the first active player to publicly come out as gay.
The 28-year-old made the announcement in a video on his Instagram account on Monday. “I just want to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay,” Nassib said. “I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but I finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest. ”He added he was a “pretty private person” but was making the announcement because he believed “representation and visibility are so important”.
