Carl Nassib came out in an Instagram video in June 2021, making him the first active NFL player to come out as gay.

“This is a moment I will never forget.”

In 2023, the Super Bowl LVII is scheduled to take place in Arizona, despite the state’s attacks on transgender and voting rights.

The “extremely vulgar” featured “nearly naked backup dancers,” according to one Christian group.

“We cannot underestimate what that single message meant to countless athletes and other members of the community.”

The Raiders have Nassib active for today’s game against the Bengals, another first for an out player in the NFL, as they fight for a chance to play in the Super Bowl.

The Trevor Project, Athlete Ally and even Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation may be represented in front of millions over the weekend.

Former Coach Jon Gruden resigned in shame after his hateful emails were made public. Now he’s suing the NFL for allegedly making them public.

He also revealed how he “met an awesome guy” earlier this year that he’s now dating.

“I’m really happy that we got the win on the day that kind of made a little bit of history,” the modest star said after ripping through the rainbow barrier – and helping secure his team’s victory, too.

LGBTQ people have long become a part of football, and it’s in no small part to these trailblazers, just like the one that Nassib is becoming.

Carl Nassib will break ground later this month as the first gay person to play in a regular season NFL game.

“It’s been good to not have to lie when I come in to work everyday,” he said ahead of his first season competing while out.

“The NFL stands by the LGBTQ+ community today and every day” they said in a simple yet unprecedented message.

Carl Nassib’s coming out shows how far we’ve come toward ending homophobia in the locker room, and how far we have to go in ending bigotry outside of it.

Nassib will be the first NFL player to take the field after coming out.

The activism happening in baseball, on the corporate and individual level, sends a clear message to everyone in sports: do something more than change your logos or send social media posts.

The first woman and gay person to coach in a Super Bowl, Sowers said: “Retired from coaching in the NFL? Nah.”

Underwood was in the same draft class as Sam and could’ve came out right after he did. Instead, the NFL drove the future “Bachelor” star further in the closet.

The group’s leader told Steve Bannon that they need to “call men back” to fight the LGBTQ “agenda.” So they expect 80,000 men to fill the Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium in a few weeks.
