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.

They changed it weeks ago.

Happy Pride Month! The NFL is proud to unveil our new NFL Pride shield to show our support and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
