Carl Nassib on Coming Out in the NFL and Tackling the Future for LGBTQ Youth: GMA Interview

In June of last year, Carl Nassib came out as gay while playing as a defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders.  In his Instagram post he said,

“I actually hope that one day, videos like this and the whole coming out process are not necessary, but until then I will do my best and my part to cultivate a culture that’s accepting and compassionate and I’m going to start by donating $100,000 to the Trevor Project.”

Released by The Raiders in a post-season cost cutting move last March, Nassib’s commitment to supporting The Trevor Project still continued this year’s Pride.  As posted by The Randy Report, Nassib pledged to match donations up to an additional $100K.  This while being a free agent still looking to be picked up for the 2022 season.
