Las Vegas Raiders and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said they were "proud" of Carl Nassib's decision to become the first professional football player to announce himself as gay.The Raiders defensive end shared the news via a video he posted on Instagram on Monday, saying he hoped the gesture would increase awareness of the LGBTQ community during Pride Month."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," the 28-year-old said."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.""It's 2021. All the more power to.
