Former NFL Star Carl Nassib: ‘There are kids … who’d rather be dead than gay’

In 2021, Nassib – then playing for the Las Vegas Raiders – became the first active NFL player in league history to publicly identify as gay.

Nassib said he agonized over the decision for 15 years, adding that he was a private person and wasn’t seeking any publicity.

Months later, he became the first active NFL player identifying as gay to feature in a regular season game, starring in the Raiders’ thrilling 33-27 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

When he announced, Nassib pointed towards The Trevor Project – a suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ youth – and how it had helped him.

On Friday, Nassib will continue that partnership, as he announces the second round pick of the Cleveland Browns – the team with whom Nassib began his NFL career in 2016 – at the 2024 NFL Draft.

As the team’s guest picker, Nassib will be joined on stage in Detroit by The Trevor Project’s founder and interim CEO, Peggy Rajski.

Does this mean he’s going to switch parties?

Exactly what I was thinking, R1.

For all the good that these Progressive/Liberal organizations have done, and all the help they have given Carl Nassib, he is STILL a motherfucking Trump supporter.

He can go fuck himself.

[quote] he is STILL a motherfucking Trump supporter

Is he? In the past few years since coming out, I don’t think he’s said a word about tRump or the GQP. He, or at least his handlers, realized that expressing any support for Cheatolini was antithetical to the mission of the Trevor Project. His last two boyfriends were both progressives/liberals. I think that his past support of tRump is troubling and problematic, but are we certain that he is still a supporter?

Looks like he's split up from his Danish boyfriend if his Instagram is anything to go by.

I may be vastly out of date on this, as I often am.

Maybe Moose wanted some fresh ass… or the bf was too clingy or freaky.

by Anonymousreply 5May 14, 2024 9:37 AM

R5 Could be either. I think he got rid of the twink because he wanted fresh ass, but Soren was more experienced and perhaps was at odds with Nassib's 'traditional' values!

I’m sure the Log Cabin Republicans approached him after he came out. They'd love a figure like him to speak at an event. It’s encouraging that he's remained focused on charity work.

He's been out with women lately, so i see him switching teams, his family is fundi, so not surprising.

That’s called asexual and they’re not gay. Maybe a mutual JO time to time but they’re human too.

R8, just stop.

There are queens on DL who’d rather be dead than gay.

by Anonymousreply 11June 5, 2024 8:16 AM

And there are rich gays that have their gay marriage so are fine being MAGA assholes. Carl is one of those assholes. Fuck him!

WHAAAT? I NEVER heard of this until Carl Nassib said it. He's a prophet.

by Anonymousreply 13June 5, 2024 12:01 PM

I'm surprised Carl hasn't found a new boyfriend. Unless he has and is keeping it quiet after making the mistake of being a bit too 'showy' with the twink and the Dane and then having to delete all the insta photos.

by Anonymousreply 14June 5, 2024 12:04 PM

Interesting that the reporter asked Nassib’s opinion regarding the graduation speech by closet-case Harrison Buttkisser — which he opposes both as to the comments about women and Pride — but nothing more broadly about the horribly anti-gay politics of the Repukes in general. Nassib rightly notes that corporations that are tepid in their support of the community (here one day and gone at the first sign of controversy) have negative consequences for young members of the community. Yeah, well, so do deplorables like Meatball Ron or Cheatolini who embraces Project 2025, which is very anti-LGBTQ.

Wonder what’s hiding in the trunks.

R17, not bad, but the legs need work.

R18, a football.

by Anonymousreply 20June 21, 2024 2:06 AM

The only problem with being gay is when you also want love and respect from everyone you meet. You won't ever get that if you're out. Stop tap-dancing for approval from the breeders and you'll be fine.

by Anonymousreply 21June 21, 2024 2:10 AM

Seems like a decent guy, and considering he’s in football, he is well-spoken, attuned to the outside world and actually puts money behind the charities he supports.

LGBTQ charities that no MAGAt would support.

No complaints here.

Slut

by Anonymousreply 23June 21, 2024 2:18 AM

He’s no longer with the Danish guy right?

by Anonymousreply 24June 21, 2024 2:19 AM

He has a manly body.

by Anonymousreply 25June 21, 2024 5:05 AM

I liked him with the twink but the twink is too good for him. Something is off about this log cabin

by Anonymousreply 26June 23, 2024 3:58 AM

Any photos of the latest boyfriend?

by Anonymousreply 27June 23, 2024 10:31 PM

I suspect he’s an excellent fuck, and considering the last twink boyfriend, very likely a top.

by Anonymousreply 28June 24, 2024 2:02 AM

R27 None so far. I think he regrets people so public with his last couple of boyfriends and is probably back to being private, as he described himself when he first came out.

by Anonymousreply 29June 24, 2024 8:45 AM

Of course you all turn this into politics. Mind your business.

R30 Joey Swoll, is that you?

by Anonymousreply 31June 24, 2024 9:08 AM

R16 This guy is not within 12 miles of "Fug." You people are insane.

by Anonymousreply 32June 30, 2024 10:21 AM

R32 Yeah he's not fug. Nor is he that attractive facially.

His attractiveness lies more in his body and height for me. If I didn't know who he was and was shown just a photo of his face, I wouldn't describe him as handsome. Just... different.

by Anonymousreply 33July 1, 2024 9:22 AM

Is there more than one or two people posting in this thread from April?

by Anonymousreply 34July 1, 2024 9:27 AM

He’s attractive facially. And as a bonus (sad that I have to say this) he has a normal face.
