What is your point about the "qualifier"? If Nassib is the second NFL player in the history of the league to come out as gay is that old news? Also, are you quoting yourself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, good on him for what makes him happy in life. I have no issue with that whatsoever. My brother is gay and gets a kick out of all the virtue signaling that make people feel good about themselves (like you getting in a tissy about ensuring TBD knows Michael Sam was NOT the first openly gay player on an active roster)!

Wacka Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 He's not the first. A D or O lineman for the Redskins said he was gay I think in the 80s. Cam tell who is young. Besides WGAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides WGAF Lots of people. Among the people who care are other players wondering if they'll be accepted by their teammates if they share their private lives, the neanderthals who polluted the Buffalo Bills Pride Month release with abhorrent comments on social media, the material % of NFL players who said they would not be comfortable with a homosexual in the locker room, everyone who jumped in this thread to downplay the event of the first active NFL player to come out as non-newsworthy because some former player came out long after their playing days or because Michael Sam was on the practice squad, you, me, the LGBTQ community, the guys who think that supporting Carl Nassib can only be some shallow act of "virtue signaling", the guys who think that Pride month is an assault on their "traditional family values". In summary, lots of people GAF. "Cam" tell who didn't read the press release. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the fact that he's gay that we don't care about. An active NFL player coming out is a big deal because of the NFL and how it's perceived throughout the league. The fact that a person is gay is whatever. Also, that's pretty much the point of any thread is for everyone to point out what they think about the given topic.

The thread is about this news though and it’s significance to the league, not about a broader statement on whether you or anyone else “don’t care if a person is gay, straight or somewhere in between.” So saying “who cares” or “WGAF” seems more of a dismissal of the story or a non-opinion. It certainly isn’t valuable or constructive in any way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is highly constructive is for everyone to share with us what Carl could have done differently to make the experience of him living the rest of his life as an out gay man more comfortable for them personally. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Interesting. He always came off as kinda an over-aggressive jackass thinking back the the Cleveland Browns Hard Knocks. Although, there is no way of telling whether that was due to him overcompensating for his secret... or if he is just a jackass regardless. It's not like Ryan Nassib was Mr Personality or well-liked either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
