Raiders player Carl Nassib comes out as gay, first active player in NFL history

His Instagram post

AND he's HOTTT!!

Good for him. Great job, Carl!

Wow, he's got guts. Kudos to him, hopefully he'll be a trailblazer.

Nassib?

Isn't that a lesbian name?

Is he a tight end?

He's hot

Nice!

[quote]Nice!

Also different and unusual!

Congratsh, Mishter Nasshib! That'sh what I call takin' one for the team!

Finally a famous top.

From his video statement: he’s come out because “representation and visibility are so important”.

Good man.

I love his voice.

What season of The Bachelor was he on?

Now it's your turn, Aaron Rodgers!

Ok, who's had him.

And he came out as gay!

He's a stud!

Is he a good that is what the fans care about if he a good player.

He joins Dave Kopay?

[quote]David Marquette Kopay is a former American football running back in the National Football League who in 1975 became one of the first professional athletes to come out as gay

WHERE are the nudes?

Good for him, good for us, and good for the US. Now, if some of those other players would grow a pair…

I call dibs!

Just so you know, this guy is the ONLY gay player in the league. No need to speculate about any other players! He's all alone out there!

He is smart!

He announced a $100,000 donation to the Trevor Project, too.

And the shirtless OUT cover in 3,2,1...

The real test will be if Roger Goodell agrees that the NFL broadcast contracts with ESPN, CBS, NBC, what-hav-you, can permit beer commercials during games that show same-sex couples displaying the same amount of affection as male-female couples.

Mama like!

[quote]He joins Dave Kopay?

Kopay came out after his retirement.

r19, Dave Kopay retired in 1972 (or was unable to get hired after that) and came out three years later in 1975. Several others have also come out after retiring.

Nassib is the first active player to come out.

I'm so confused. I assumed all football players were totally straight like myself!

Is he a good player or like Michael Sam and/or Tim Tebow?

I don't understand. Does he have a show yet? Where is his gay guide? Netflix deal?

He's not doing this correctly.

He's like a REAL life version of that HE MAN football player who comes out on Queer As Folk.

Finally one who’s hot

R32, I am straight

Will he get endorsement deals from WET and Jungle Juice?

lol, r23

According to David Maraniss's biography of Vince Lombardi "When Pride Still Mattered", Lombardi knew who was closeted on the Packers, and made sure they weren't picked on or outed.

Here is his plays and breakdowns which is very important to the fans. Btw he is a free agent..

Della, Lombardi was a cool guy. Ahead of his time

He kind of looks like Gronk.

It's crazy he is the first player to EVER be openly gay while playing in the NFL.

The world of big sports is still so far behind.

So fucking glad he didn't come out as "Queer" or "Pan" or "Fluid" (shudder)

Onlyfans is calling now.

I don't give a fuck what you think about my comment:

If it weren't for woke culture, he'd still have to hide in the closet and you fucking know it. So when you bitch more about the "radical left" than the fascist right, remember that this guy couldn't have come out if the Republican/conservative mentality a lot of you have enabled, were prevalent in this country

He's a linebacker too. The "toughest" position in the game.

And he's not trans or nonbinary!

Ok - He IS hot! Not just DL hot, lol.

Great voice too. I’m happy for him.

Bonus points for simply calling himself gay. He seems genuine. Kudos!

He signed a three-year $25 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders in March, 2020.

He was a free agent when he signed with them R39, not now.

Does he need a guide?

r39, I don't think he's a free agent. He was a free agent last year, and signed a three-year contract with the Raiders. He's still listed on their website.

Anderson Cooper furiously rearranging his schedule for and interview....

He is 6 feet 7 inches tall.

R45, most of us here are a part of the left. It's much more productive to try and "clean your own house" than waste time bitching about the dilapidated, fall down piece of shit hut across the street.

No one on the left thinks wokeism is as bad as right wing bullshit. It's just wokeism, in its current fundamentalist state (and that's exactly what it is now; it was great five years ago), is happening on our watch.

It's not the difficult.

Now, back to Nassib: Damn, damn, damn. Man is fine.

Good for him and us. Hope he makes the best out of his career.

Aaron said he doesn’t know her.

R53... (SWOON!)

Oh, lawdy.

Someone move the fainting couch closer!

What are his pronouns?

So happy for him and for visibility!

And while he's incredibly beautiful and striking, he's so far from my type. I wouldn't know what to do with him. I'd just lean him in a corner and look at him, I think.

derpy looking

I googled, and apparently there are zero pictures of him shirtless anywhere on the web.

Yes, he was, r40, and, paradoxically. Lombardi was also a devout Roman Catholic. He didn't attend Mass only Sundays. He attended Mass EVERY morning.

Last OT comment- Lombardi also spread the word to Green Bay restaraunts and bars that if they discriminated or poorly treated black Packers, he'd make their businesses off-limits to the entire team.

But, he should have never married and had children. He made their lives miserable.

R59, they're "he/him". Thank god.

Love that deep rich voice.

Hot body, beautiful eyes, and that voice!!!

How long until the typical "My previous relationships with women were REAL, and I LOVED having sex with women, I never lied to them, it was all REAL... but now I choose to live my life openly as a gay man" qualification?

r62, check his Instagram

He doesn’t need to do anymore interviews like Oprah he needs to play and show off his skills.

Another shirtless

Thank god he’s hot. It makes his coming out much more important.

What are his politics?

You KNOW he voted for... you know who!

R67, it's just odd that both Google and Bing image search turn up zero shirtless images when searching for "Carl Nassib Shirtless"...

......

We look forward to going through his social media/life history/trash cans to find something to destroy him.

DL completely missed this one

He is hot. That's the only thing we care about. Colton must be so mad that he is stealing his spotlight. An actual football player.

Finally, this secret cabal of straight-acting gay/bi men are stepping forward. They've just always been in the shadows, lying.

You know this is big news when there are three or four simultaneous threads on DL. Well done Carl!

How much do you want to bet that Twitter gays will create certain drama about him coming out? I can already see "Oh We're celebrating another attractive white guy coming out. Cool Cool."

I'm sure he voted for trump

I mean it's too perfect that this guy is both historic AND hot r78.

I hope to god he didn't vote for Trump.

Poor Michael Sam, this was supposed to be him and then he never actually played in the NFL.

"It's called interest and it's so fucking easy."

Why did he come out? was there a video or some about to be released.

All this speculation about who he voted for, this dude has more likely never voted in his life.

Perfect casting to come out to middle America. White, voice, looks, etc. Hopefully maga-free.

You can do this without tattoos?

That he already has that 25 million dollar contract is crucial r49, probably the only reason he felt safe to do this.

The impression i got from social media is the hetros dont give a flying fk as long as he contribute as a player, prove to them that he is a good athlete and not some LGBT/Nfl collaboration agenda like Michael Sam.

Cutie. Can we give him the attention instead of that fame whore Colton?

A hint of VPL?

He's a big un...

Definite major bulge detected

He is 6'7, and listed at 275#. They grow them big at Penn State.

NFL players have very short careers; Nassib has already lasted five years, which means he’s probably a solid player.

Tweet from his team…”Proud of you, Carl 🖤”

Now let's do tennis.

Tweet from the person who manages the social media account which has nothing to do with the people on the actual team r97.

From the NFL: “The NFL family is proud of you, Carl ❤️“

There are some sad, bitter fraus on this thread.

Looking at you, R99

Never heard of him before. Is he perhaps a distant relative of Adele Nassim?

That is a beautiful photo, r69…

Hi!!

Go get your man Colton!!

This old IG pic should have clued us in.

[quote] DE Carl Nassib announced today that he’s gay. He also shared he's donating $100,000 to the @TrevorProject, a suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ youth.

[quote] From the NFL: “The NFL family is proud of you, Carl ❤️“

So how much did the NFL kick in?

I'm sure many/most of his teammates already knew.

I’m sure he’s not a virgin. Let’s spill the tea!

r106, and maybe this...

Trying again...

Lol, say what you want r101, but the truth is the truth. I hope his teammates will be supportive, but what their teams social media rep posts has nothing to do with his actual teammates. If it was tweets from his fellow players I would get your point.

The NFL is a corporate sponsor of the Trevor Project, R107.

Now, do fuck off.

Is he a big needy bottom or a total top?

Ugh, I wish it were someone hotter….gayvoice, duck lips, crazy eyes…next!

R24 a foul mouth.

I hope we get to see him play and they don't use this as an excuse to drop him. Found this that makes it sound like he may be on the trading block.

We all can’t be the godlike stud that you are, R115

R2 He‘s not hot. Not every muscular white guy is automatically hot.

Except on Datalounge, R119.

R115 Yes, a foul mouth in that video but he says sensible stuff in the vide at R25

Is he friends with Jimmy Garoppolo by any chance?

Is he a wide receiver?

Ah that's sad to hear r117. Apparently his recent season with the raiders was not good.

[quote]Is he a wide receiver?

Linebacker.

So he came out to avoid being traded?

I’m assuming that video of him talk about financial planning is with him giving advice to other players. He’s likely on track to get a management position with one of the teams, his path is clear if he wants a lower-level front office job. Any team would love to have this type of diversity hire.

Interesting that Raiders QB doesn't follow him on IG. Wonder how he feels about it. He's super religious.. and also very hot.

[quote]I'm sure he voted for trump

And how did you come to that assumption? Care to explain, or did you just jump to conclusions?

QB = Derek Carr

[quote]Is he a good player or like Michael Sam and/or Tim Tebow?

Here are his career stats. Make of them what you will. He's better at his position than Tebow was at his.

Please, guys, it’s great he came out, but he’s not hot. He is not any hotter than most gay porn stars. He has gayface and gayvoice. He is not special.

in what world does he have gay voice R132? although I agree that he is not particularly hot, but who gives a shit

This might be him.

[quote] The impression i got from social media is the hetros dont give a flying fk as long as he contribute as a player, prove to them that he is a good athlete and not some LGBT/Nfl collaboration agenda like Michael Sam.

Unfortunately, you'd be wrong about that. Check out the comments underneath this article.

Man, r132 is one deeply damaged human being. Self loathing is a sad thing.

Started as a tight end but now he’s a wide receiver

Such handsome, natural masculine face, so ~hot~ etc.

Important to remember he is under contract r117. Another team would be acquiring that contract, he is not just a free agent that could be dropped.

R117, i knew it was too good to be true.

Sigh.

Is Colton Haynes rushing to be his new best friend on social media?

R136 Stay deluded for now then. You‘ll be picking him apart by next week anyways.

R137 he's a defensive end, not a wide receiver

He will be a STAR at DL!

Y’all can talk about hotness all you want but being a giant and having 25 million in the bank ups the hotness a skosh.

He’s hawt.

More Colton "I'm new to this"/"I don't know anything about LGBTQ history"......

Really?

DLers being so critical over "gayvoice" is pretty amusing to me.

r134, I don't think that's him. Nassib is 6'7", and the guy in the video looks shorter (hard to imagine a 6'7" guy fitting in the tub like that). Plus, from the frontal shots from 24:30-25:30, his chest and nipples don't look the same as Nassib's in the Instagram shots. The guy in the video also has a moustache, and there are no signs Nassib has had facial hair in any shots I've seen.

Of course horse faced Gus Cumworthy was one of the first to comment on his IG post

I thinK we need someone who is a bit well known really good that others respect him and has been playing for a couple of years with a few champs under his belts. it looks like this dude will be traded soon and be a goner.

Regardless whether people think he's hot or not, good for him! Probably took a huge load off his chest (pun intended) I hope he's happy.

Aaron are you listening?

This is a slap in the face to Colton and Sam. Why weren't they congratulated and fawned over?

He should teach David Muir how to come out gracefully!

R153 troll.

It's not too late, Zac Efron!

r154...because they weren't active NFL players?

And now the countdown begins for the release announcement that will come before he can actually play.

[quote] Raiders player Carl Nassib comes out as gay

Even I knew he was gay!

[quote] Finally a famous top.

Gurl, please.

She's a BOTTOM.

Those eyebrows are a dead giveaway.

Is she a religious fundie?

In before, Colton Underwood or the Olympian dude takes a pass at him. Can't wait till he hangs with all those gay Instawhores and porn whores.

Hot, articulate, rich. Husband material.

[quote] No one on the left thinks wokeism is as bad as right wing bullshit. It's just wokeism, in its current fundamentalist state (and that's exactly what it is now; it was great five years ago), is happening on our watch. It's not the difficult.

What’s not difficult:

Advocating for equality for yourself and referring to equality for other marginalized groups as “fundamentalist wokeism.”

What’s not difficult:

Using the right wing strategy of using “woke” as a pejorative to describe anything that you don’t like.

He'll be fired before he can play.

Will Antony Cotton befriend him?

[quote]He'll be fired before he can play.

He's been playing for five years, with an established track record.

Of course slut Gus Kenworthy is already commenting on his post. He doesn't want you, Gus.

Ouch, ran into this article that says the Raiders made a huge mistake giving him a 25 mil contract. I am happy Carl got his payday.

He's not hot, but he is white and under 30. Good for him!

r168 I meant as an out gay man. NFL is still - and will be for the rest of most of our lives - too homophobic to have actual out players, because their fan base - a large portion of the population - is homophobic. For gods sakes, it's taken them years to address the racism.

He should have come out as queer or non binary.

LITERAL VIOLENCE!!!!!!

[quote] He'll be fired before he can play.

The Raiders suck.

They'll have to fire the entire team, if they fire him.

Unfortunately Raiders are looking to trade him because he didn’t live to his potential last season, i think he came out for a different business venture and he will leave the NFL soon.

Gus Kenworthy is a fucking CREEP.

Always looking to latch on to the next hot celebrity to come out of the closet.

I agree, he's nothing but a dirty slut.

R154, that's not true regarding Michael Sam. I still have a copy of the New York Times breaking news alert from the day Michael Sam came out. I also remember buying a copy of his GQ Man of the Year cover from later that year. He was certainly fawned over, but unfortunately, the attention derailed his career before it even started.

I see the "literal violence" troll has showed up, apparently you can't compliment a gay person without putting downs trans people

[Quote] he's nothing but a dirty slut.

How do you know Carl isn't?

Gus Kenworthy is a cautionary tale for gay athletes. He's had a lackluster career, but has made his brand flirting with every single out athlete, from Adam Rippon to Tom Daley. He needs to get a life.

Being an Olympic medalist isn't "lackluster" r180.

Carl is now the most eligible gay bachelor. He's this season's Mr Darcy. Colton and Colin and Gus and Adam are all lining up with their dance cards as we speak.

[quote] Hot, articulate, rich.

He's articulate in the Instagram video about coming out. Not quite as articulate in the video at R24.

Julian Morris liked his video. He's gonna be getting tons of dick!

[quote]Not every muscular white guy is automatically hot.

This one is, R119.

[quote] Colton and Colin and Gus and Adam are all lining up with their dance cards as we speak.

Colin and Adam who?

King

I really don't see the hotness.

Take off the uniform and he looks like any other queen you'd see walking in WEHO or Chelsea.

He also looks a bit "special."

You don't understand the humor nor the irony, R178.

I thought that the Discretionary-Transvestites and the Gender-Confused relied on irony as their raison d'etre.

R188, most WeHo guys aren't 6'7" and built like a "shit brickhouse"

R189, Republicans aren't funny. Which you are single-handedly proving. Using the same "literal violence" line over and over isn't working, you need some new material.

I'm glad that R190 got the term right, at least.

He’s definitely not a “queen.” Watched him On HBO’s Hard Knocks Cleveland Browns. He’s one of the best defensive backs in the League. He’s tough and beloved by other players. A real athlete. A cool bro.

He's a little too young for me, but he's hot as hell. Not sure what's wrong with some of you.

And he didn't come out as "mostly straight", "fluid", "bi", or that 5-letter word that starts with the 17th letter of the alphabet, which I'm sure annoys some of you.

So he’s gay. Who cares.

[Quote] He’s one of the best defensive backs in the League

This is not true r193. Tons of reporting about how his 2020 season was a disappointment. We can support him without rewriting reality.

Also in case he has another not great season in 2021, best not to start the narrative it is because he came out.

Sexy

Here's his Wikipedia page. Comes from a family of athletes.

Given that many DLers still think it's 1987, it's not surprising that there is skepticism about how his teammates and the fans will take this.

R196 = Trans

[quote]Given that many DLers still think it's 1987

I think it's 1887, sonny.

I love his voice!

The story is "front page" (above the fold) on the NYT, WSJ, WaPo and CNN websites.

He's a good representation for us too, seems like a smart and solid guy.

I hope Aaron Rodgers’ pussy self is paying attention.

Good for him! Good for all of us

Just hoping he doesn't go the Aaron Hernandez route

Anyone have experience with how hung a 6’7” guy might be?

R194 …..What?!

R197,I think his coming out is calculated and he did it so he could be called “the first NFL gay active player” for his brand because his NFL career is probably over. It will be telling who his new agent is especially if its the same as all the celebrities who came out and that is mostly their thing/brand and how they make money and advertise themselves.

ALL of you DL Queens are drooling over him because you are ALL bottoms looking for a top.

Hate to say so, but I looked him up in the Florida database and when he loved there in 2019 be registered as a Republicam.

Trumper! I knew it!

R185 Some of you guys have incredibly low standards: He‘s just a white jock who is admittedly really tall. But that face is just below average.

Now his bros on the team are going to pause before fucking him in the ass, wondering if maybe his declaration of 'no homo' is actually effective.

Then they'll go ahead and pound his ass sore, just like they do all their other straight bros.

All these straight guys, and their gfs are always out of town - how'd that happen?

Team bonding, what?

R213- He's not my type I'm not into HE MEN but he's still HOT and you're only saying that because he wouldn't look at you on the street.

Wow, he’s super hot.

Coming out today will also be one of the most shrewd financial decisions he's ever made.

Enormous endorsement deals are to follow [Nike especially] as to be vocally woke / progressive appearing is the most desirable commodity for corporations to be seen aligning themselves with since last years social unrest.

Care in point is Naomi Osaka who became one of the highest paid female athletes last year due in equal parts to both her success on the tennis court but also her display of support for BLM that Nike was able to monetize in billboards and print advertisements.

Carl will be one of the highest paid athletes for 2021 due to the endorsements coming his way now.

This is actually giant news & I am so happy for him and for the masculine young high school gay boys who now have a hero to look up to. So many boys will feel more comfortable with their sexual orientation.

Carl is a hero. Possible Man of the Year.

This is HUGE

R214 watches too much porn.

Fish lips, googly eyes, double chin, bad coloring etc.

r213, that's a pic from his college days, so at least five years old, and everything I've seen from then does make him look chunkier. If you're going to comment on his looks, it seems worth looking at a recent photo, not an old one.

In my opinion, he looks plenty good here.

Huddle up boys, it's time for some slapass.

R220 If you want recent stuff, watch his coming out video again. He looks like a freak there and comes across worse in motion. That mouth is scary.

[quote] Hate to say so, but I looked him up in the Florida database and when he loved there in 2019 be registered as a Republican.

Yes, here's his entry. And this was in May 2019, just two years ago, well into Trump's presidency. Another gay man who advocates for acceptance while voting for politicians who want to take away our rights.

Full Name: CARL PAUL NASSIB

Street Address: 4801 W LEONA ST

City: TAMPA

Zip Code: 33629

County Name: HILLSBOROUGH

Voter Identification Number:126831991

Date Of Registration: 5/15/2019

Party: Republican Party of Florida

Voter Status: Inactive*

I really respect him, but he does remind me a bit of a young Rodney Dangerfield.

r220, I don't need to rewatch it (though I have), since I'm the one who originally posted it in the thread way back at r1. I have no problems whatsoever with the way he looks, nor with that beautifully deep voice.

I sure wish more gay men were as masculine, with a masculine (not forced) demeanor like him. I find him just about perfect.

DL is happy that he is a Trumpublican.

Sick.

BRAVO!

R223 He’s a MAGA?!😭

We can only hope accepting his sexuality has pushed him away from Trump and to the sane side.

If he is going to say he is still a Republican he can forget about that goodwill.

R226 Not forced? That voice is trained, not natural. Fake as hell.

R224 With all do respect, your taste is in your depends.

R231 Like your teeth hon.

I am thinking Wrigleyville Cum Dump.

His Republicanism isn't problematic?

[quote] His Republicanism isn't problematic?

It is for me.

Fuck this guy.

There are better gay celebs who deserve our support, instead of this Trump ass licking MAGAT Deplorable cunt.

more highlights with music

R236- Calm down

[quote]He is 6 feet 7 inches tall.

Never mind the six feet, let's talk about the seven inches.

Good -- it's about time for the NFL!

R239- I'm SEVEN inches.

He’s registered as a Republican? Given his upbringing and family, I guess it’s a family thing. He is likely *conservative* since he likes investing (and making money), but doesn’t mean he’s a MAGAT. Or that he voted for Trump. At least I hope he didn’t.

He comes from a religious background, and probably grew up in a Republican family…so it’s not surprising that he would have registered as such. There’s no evidence that he’s a Trumper, or even politically active or aware. He’s young, and his political ideas will probably change over time.

R42 Of course he is Trump Republican. What do you exspect?. He loves Jesus and he loves money.

I’m very happy for him and hope he gets tons of support.

R243 How delusional. This is not your fantasy world.

He registered Republican in May of 2019. Trump had been in the White House for over 2 years by then and DeSantis had been elected Governor the previous year.

Does indeed look like he may be a Deplorable. That sucks.

R247- If he flirted with you in a bar you would say NO to him?

Christian man

R248 It’s called evidence and logic. It’s obvious he voted Trump in 2016 AND 2020.

[quote] He is likely *conservative* since he likes investing (and making money), but doesn’t mean he’s a MAGAT. Or that he voted for Trump. At least I hope he didn’t.

You could be right, and maybe his views have changed over the past 2 years. However:

(1) he registered as Republican in 2019, long after Trump was elected and the GOP had gone batshit crazy,

(2) he registered as Republican in Florida, which has some of the most batshit crazy GOP'ers of them all

(3) most young people who aren't very politically active only pay attention to the presidential race

I doubt he registered as a Republican in Florida in 2019 so that he could vote for Biden.

Has Cyd Zeigler already masturbated himself to death over this ?

He’s a Republicunt? Then he’s definitely going to be seen with cockgobbler and his racist weho insta friends

Oh, well. If true, R251, then fuck him.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Republican KKKristian front responds.

He says "fuckin'" a lot.

He needs to switch political parties.

Glad to hear he came out as gay, but he must denounce the Repigs.

Is he a "they?"

fuck his ugly republican ass

Oh, how they turn on you within a couple of responses.

Major front page headline on The Huffington Post:

‘I’M GAY’: NFL PLAYER MAKES HISTORY

This reminds me of Scott Frantz, a college football player at Kansas State who came out in 2017. Outsports and other gay media gushed about what a great role model he was and how wonderful it was that he was able to come out without much backlash in red-state Kansas of all places. But none of them mentioned that he was a total right-winger whose Twitter account was full of retweets of Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson and "Why do the Democrats hate America?" bullshit. I always figured that the first active NFL player to come out would also be a Republican.

Yeah, once you know he’s a soulless Republican who cares nothing about the gay teens he’s getting a tax break and PR benefit from, and really only cares about his bank account he’s not so hot.

I want a beneficent giant, not and evil one.

R259 It was only a matter of time, sweetie. Even if here wasn’t a Republican, see R142

[quote] Major front page headline on The Huffington Post:

[quote] ‘I’M GAY’: NFL PLAYER MAKES HISTORY

"I'M A GAY, DEPLORABLE MAGAT!"

There, I fixed it for them.

I bet Jerry Sandusky fucked his freshman ass at Penn State.

How do I meet him so he makes me his boyfriend?

Good for him

Just because someone is registered as a Democrat or Republican, doesn’t necessarily mean they will vote for that Party. He’s from Pennsylvania, which is a very moderate state, and a lot of people are swing voters who vote across party lines all the time.

I bet his politics changes. Or already has. It is likely his upbringing. Some people, most, don’t form their views until much later in life. He probably didn’t vote at all.

And he’s HOT. OMG to have been on top dry humping me!

R266- For you and all the other QUEENS drooling over this GAY he-man. For all you people know he might be a TOTAL BOTTOM.

R251 Really? What do you say to R268?

ESPN published some tweets

Julian Edelman, New England Patriots

Great Christian dude!

He seems like an 80% bottom who tops on occasion.

[quote]How much do you want to bet that Twitter gays will create certain drama about him coming out? I can already see “Oh We’re celebrating another attractive white guy coming out. Cool Cool.”

If they didn’t publicly celebrate Esera Tuaolo and Ryan Russell coming out (post-retirement), they can STFU.

[quote]He is 6’7, and listed at 275#. They grow them big at Penn State.

He’s slender and lanky for a defensive end.

Gavin:

Carl, do you have a spare bedroom? DM me.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's tweet means a lot. Goodell has talked a lot about his own gay brother and how he had to defend him from bullies in high school. He knows about the hate Carl may be facing.

I really like his dress style. See R106.

It's very DL that this quickly devolved into being a replica of one of the millions of Insta-Ho threads where someone posts a photo of a very good looking guy and basement dwelling DLers pile on to find faults

"His left eyebrow is too long"

"His nipples are too big"

"His nipples are too small"

"He only has a six-pack, not an eight-pack!"

"He looks too much like a Ken doll!"

And the old favorite "Just an average white guy. I like my men more exotic."

SMH

That didn't come out right. I meant I like the way he dresses. Stylish, well put together and masculine with a touch of gay. Very nice.

I suppose, R259, he’ll experience negativity from both sides of the coin. Some people he thought were supporters will turn on him for “turning” from his Christian beliefs. And some people he thought would welcome him will denounce him because of his politics. He won’t win with either extreme.

What is next for Carl will he get a second chance or will he get traded soon?

Why, R106 - there’s no turquoise belt.

r53, forget about the 6 feet. Tell me about the 7 inches.

That damn turquoise belt was like a signpost which said "I'm flaming but I'm going to vote against my own kind anyway" wasn't it R284.

Also it said "In a few years I'm going to be a chronic meth addict prostitute. Get a look at my blown out asshole..."

R283, this will be a serious test of faith for football fans. If he can improve the Raiders’ trash defense, I bet he stays.

Dating Colton Underwood in 3....2......

I’m sure, R286, that blown out asshole is quivering at Carl’s news.

I wonder if he already has a boyfriend 🤔

r288 I hope not.

I'm going to state the blatantly obvious here - the more this happens in popular men's sport - the more normalized and accepted we gays will be. Slowly. We still have a long, long road to travel down.

The word brave is tossed around a lot these days but I think this guy is actually the epitome of brave. I'm really proud of Nassib. Never heard of him before today but good on him and others like him who stand strong and come out even though it could be detrimental to his career, future and safety.

It's times like these when I remember how much of a flaccid, lying coward Ian Thorpe was for all that time when everybody including Helen Kellar could see he was gay. He could have done some good by coming out but instead he is an residual embarrassment to gays.

R290 - a man like that definitely has a boyfriend. No two ways about it.

[quote] bet his politics changes. Or already has. It is likely his upbringing. Some people, most, don’t form their views until much later in life. He probably didn’t vote at all.

OK.

[quote] And he’s HOT. OMG to have been on top dry humping me!

There you go. If he wasn't hot, you'd want nothing to do with this "ugly Republican." But because he's hot, you'll pretend that he's not really Republican at all. DataLounge hates Republicans, unless they're hot, in which case it's OK.

Times sure have changed in the past several years. Michael Sam was almost shunned by the NFL. Maybe Michael Sam's playing ability wasn't up to NFL standards, but nonetheless, he had a much tougher road when he came out.

Now the NFL's Roger Goodell is sending congratulatory Tweets. The entire roster NFL roster is younger than when Michael Sam played--and the younger generation now is more accepting. Times are changing. It just takes a while.

I'd take a knee for Carl Nassib anytime. 💦🤤

Spot on R295.

I'm searching around social media and I've seen people mention the family and himself is MAGA. They haven't posted receipts but it doesn't surprise me. He's basically a gay, taller, bipedal Madison Cawthown.

I dated a 6-foot-7 Cajun guy for a while. Not my soul mate for sure, but there's something intoxicating about having a tall boyfriend pick you up like a kid and carry you to bed.

Gay white privilege is real.

Four hours and not one comment about momma's mussy being moist or whatever the momma's mussy troll gets off on.

That said, good for this guy. It's a big, brave step in the right direction.

Probably a bottom but for the love of God please keep him away from the NB/Trans/femme train. We need some normal, masc people

You can tell he's gay by the way he was holding the sharpie to sign the football!!!!

[quote]Four hours and not one comment about momma's mussy being moist or whatever the momma's mussy troll gets off on.

Carl is not cagemeat. Therefore Momma has no interest and her caftan stays unmoved.

Arab American. So does he have a big thick Arab cock?

"I'm searching around social media and I've seen people mention the family and himself is MAGA. They haven't posted receipts but it doesn't surprise me. He's basically a gay, taller, bipedal Madison Cawthown."

If you don't have "receipts" isn't it a little premature to compare him to Madison Cawthorn? I mean, as far as we know, he isn't making pilgrimages to Der Fuhrer's house.....

I love this image. And now it's so much more suggestively homoerotic. I love Carl Nassib. 😍

^ Nice booty

But you know a lot of NFL players are super religious and anti- gay.

I volunteer to express the gay community's gratitude and appreciation.

His brother is also in the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers is probably crying tonight, wishing he would’ve had the guts to be the first.

do you think he jerked off to pictures of Tom Brady as a kid?

Carl Nassib is a big boy. W🥵W.

Carl Nassib is a registered Democrat.

God, how I’d love to just once roll around in bed with and get fucked by a big slab of man like him.

What is the ethnic heritage of the name Nassib? It sounds Middle Eastern, but he don't look it.

If he's in Las Vegas he probably uses Corbin Fisher as an escort service.

He don't?

R122 What does Jimmy Garoppolo have to do with this?

Is he a Muslim?

[quote]Is he friends with Jimmy Garoppolo by any chance?

LMAO!😂

R321- Pull down his pants and his underwear then you'll find out.

The quarterback of his team Derek Carr, is a hardcore bible thumping Trumper and has even annoyed his teammates in the past by trying to get them to pray. This should be interesting.

R320 I assume Jimmy G was brought up because it would be nice to see that hunk of burnin love pile driving this huge bottom into submission.

Nassib is a arab last name mostly from Morocco.

Wikipedia includes him in its list of Arab Americans.

His load must be copious. A geyser of warm, viscous seed ejected from his manhood with force and alacrity.

R211 Just because he's registered as a republican doesn't mean he voted for Trump. A lot of Republicans hate Trump.

R327- If you're horny perhaps you should get a BLOW UP doll.

Fuccccckkk, Carl Nassib is HOTTTTTtttt 🥵

He's a registered Democrat, R328.

[quote] He's a registered Democrat, [R328].

Link? Where's the evidence that he's a registered Democrat?

We've already posted the link showing that in 2019 in Florida, he registered as a Republican. Show me a link that he's now a Democrat.

He's from PA and we haven't heard from DL icon Brian Sims?

[quote]He's better at his position than Tebow was at his.

Position? Top? Bottom? Reverse cowgirl??

JJ Watt.

Still monitoring for an Aaron Rodgers tweet on this. 😁

If he's of Moroccan descent there's a 100% chance he's a bottom.

Yup, Dem. He answered that on an IG Live session. But he doesn't like talking about politics much. Maybe now he will!

[quote] Yup, Dem. He answered that on an IG Live session.

If that's true (and you're not just making shit up), that's great. But right now, the only evidence we have is that 2 years ago, he registered as a Republican.

R338 Bitch, don't blame me! That's what he said himself. I couldn't give a fuck either way. It's his damn life. If you doubt it or have issues with him, take it up with him directly!

You completely made that up r337/339. He has not been on instagram live answering questions.

Yummy.

Who services him? Or who does he service?

[quote] Is he a tight end?

Very

[quote] Will he get endorsement deals from WET and Jungle Juice?

Oh, I was thinking it would be more like, Nasty Pig, Fleshjack and Poppers would be the sponsors.

Sadly, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns defensive end Carl Nassib needs to work on more than his pass rushing skills in training camp. His grandma wants him to clean up his language.

Nassib became a breakout star of the first episode this season of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series, which is documenting Cleveland’s training camp this summer. In last week’s premiere, Nassib, who has earned a reputation for being outspoken during his three seasons with the Browns, delivered a profanity-laced speech on financial advice to his fellow defensive linemen.

During a few scenes shot inside the team’s meeting rooms, Nassib stood in front of a white board after writing down a math equation he said can help his teammates save money. Nassib emphasized his points by sprinkling in profanity not fit for family viewing.

On Sunday, Nassib said some of the feedback from his appearance has been alarming. “I’m a little embarrassed about my swearing,” Nassib said sheepishly. “I didn’t know I swear that much. My grandmother was upset with me.”

Nassib said he was prompted to help his teammates with their finances because he didn’t want to see others take advantage of them.

“This offseason, I did a lot of research about finances and stuff like that because I did not study that in college,” said Nassib, who was a biology major at Penn State. “I felt like I wanted to share that with my teammates and the younger guys and help them out because it helped me out a lot.”

Nassib also wanted to clarify a comment he made during the first “Hard Knocks” when he told teammates that they could double their money, getting 10 percent interest per year. “You have a million dollars and after seven years of getting 10 percent on that money every single year, you’re making money off of it, you’re going to double it after seven years,” Nassib said in the episode. “So you double your money every seven years for forty-two (expletive) years, you get 64 times your original (expletive) money.”

The scene left viewers wondering where Nassib could get 10 percent interest.

“I don’t think that anybody is even giving 2 percent interest,” he said. “The way it was edited made it seem like I said that. I was talking about gains on stocks and other investments.”

The 25-year-old Nassib also lectured his teammates about spending too much time on Instagram. He warned them if they were on the social media site 2 hours a day, it would add up to one month every year.

Another amusing scene with Nassib came when coach Hue Jackson showed Nassib posing with pop superstar Taylor Swift before her recent concert in Cleveland.

Nassib joked with the coach that he had proposed.

So, has he gotten a response?

“Absolutely not,” Nassib said. “She’s way out of my league. Yeah, she doesn’t have time for me.” Jackson said the TV show may have revealed a side of Nassib most fans haven’t seen, but it’s the guy the Browns know well.

“That is the real Carl Nassib,” Jackson said. “There is no doubt about it. Do not let him fool you. That is who he is.”

"Another amusing scene with Nassib came when coach Hue Jackson showed Nassib posing with pop superstar Taylor Swift before her recent concert in Cleveland."

Damn, he could have been one of her many gay "boyfriends"

Taylor Swift? That was a giant clue right there.

If he sees this, he has our support. Happy Pride man!

Isn't Aaron Rodgers a Taylor Swift fan too?

How does he look in a jockstrap?

r349, I propose we replace the phrase "Friend of Dorothy" with "Friend of Taylor"

Woe to whoever becomes or is his boyfriend. There will be so many men flinging themselves at him and whoever he picks, gays will say he can do better.

Remember when Ian Roberts came out?

Is Carl a DLer?

He is not that hot.

I’d eat his ass.

He’s everything I want in a man. Rich, young, hot and wealthy.

[quote]Rich, young, hot and wealthy.

Paging the Department of Redundancy Department!

R345, a foul-mouthed jock. Who woulda thought?

Your turn Aaron!

Wow this man is spectacular! He’s devastatingly handsome, built like a Greek god, and physically talented. This is the kind of man we should be worshiping, instead of trash like Gus Kenworthy and Aaron Schock.

It was fun watching David Muir cover this story tonight. He tried really hard not to look uncomfortable.

Lolz some gay Instagram feedback:

What about the tradition of waiting to come out until you are old and fat?

28 isn't too young for me, right?

Well gay closet, it's been a great ride. Now it's time for all closet cases to come out, since it's cool now to be gay.

Just reading the thread on Tim Tebow-Demi-Leigh Nels-Peters (that's a lot of hyphens). The difference in the level of authenticity between Carl and Tim is strikingly massive.

When I first checked his IG after he came out, he had under 30k followers. Just checked again, and now he’s at 162k.

R280 But this guy has TONS of flaws (e.g. Republican Trump voter!) Did you even bother reading this thread?

R293 Man like that? You mean Republican bottom?

R360, agreed.

R361, I saw that too. So funny.

Gay not queer! Bless him there's hope for us all.

Btw you purity queens can go fuck yourselves.

He looks horrible in OP’s pic. He looks 1000% better in his cumming out video on his personal site.

Raiders might trade Carl for Julio Jones.

Finally! A HOT gay Democrat. I'm glad he interacts with his fans on Instagram.

Did this bitch really need to come out? I’m sure it wasn’t a surprise to his friends or teammates. They do have eyes and ears afterall.

It would be so much better for our image if in future ONLY hot, studly jocks with masculine voices came out. Oh, and no one over 35, please.

It's just not that easy toots. You can't just "claim" us. Especially if it makes you hip and marketable. WE have to claim YOU too. So what've you actually done for the community these past 10 years ? nothing ? thought so. Pass... Oh, wait he's white ? He's hot ? HE'S A TOP ??? WELCOME TO THE TEAM !!!!!

What does Miss Lance Bass have to say about this one?

Will he get a reality show to help him be gay?

^ I'll be more than happy to fill him in.

I wonder if his boyfirend is a trans man.

Not all Arabs look alike. As a Christian Arab his ancestry is probably in the Levant, either Lebanon, Syria or Palestine. And most Arab Christians are Greek Orthodox or Eastern Rite Catholics (Melchite).

Those saying he voted for Trump are trolls. He was registered as Republican in Florida but we have no idea how he voted.

But surely one can separate Aesthetics from Politics, no?

But who's his gay guide ?

I am pretty sure he has a BIG dick since hes arab blood in him. It's a shame he is a bottom.

Is he cut or uncut?

....

R381

Troll alert

So many hot guys, young, fit, always hanging out together, showering together with no curtains or doors blocking the view, changing in front of each other as opposed to in a stall. Stuff is gonna happen OBVIOUSLY. Only an idiot could be surprised by this!

Anyway, now's your turn, Tim Tebow and Christian McCaffrey

God, I swear, gays are their own worst enemy sometimes. From gay men voting for fucking Republicans, to gays ripping each other to shreds when they come out publicly for not having the perfect face, body, or voice. Jesus. Listen to yourselves. Why are you all so goddamned vicious?

He does have DSL.

My friend just told me he was a Lebanese. And now you guys are saying he's gay!

This is all just so confusing.

Can men be Lebanese?

We also don't know (or do we?) what his full ethnic background is, just that someone on his father's side was likely a Christian Arab, e.g., no idea if it was a great-grandfather and all other great-grandparents are European, etc.

Fantastic!

Mama's mussy may also be moist.

I wonder how soon another player will come out after this. I have a wish list

Deplorable MAGAT.

Cancelled!!

r393 Since his last name didn't exactly sound English to me, I looked it up and found out it's Lebanese, which means it should be pronounced "Nassìb" (instead of "Nàssib", which kinda sounds like "Massive", which is fitting since he's 6'7'). Seriously, what's with Mrkans butchering foreign names? Even Amendola is supposed to be pronounced "Amèndola", because it's Italian and the famous family of Italian actors/dubbers is called Amèndola

Congratulations to him, and praise for his courage.

I really hope he can avoid the hype and refrain from starting a clothing line, appear in a reality show, chime in on every shit on social media. etc. He seems like a nice guy and he should be able to keep his integrity and not get chewed and spit out by the media machine. Robby showed the way, Sam lost it.

I feel like EVERY year someone comes out as the first gay, active player in the NFL.

He’s so close to being the hottest man alive, but the Muslim/Arab/Lebanese effect is tainting the big picture. Could you imagine if he was an all American, corn fed boy from Iowa! We’d be moist just looking at him.

Maybe tainting it for you, R401, but first of all he's not Muslim, and secondly not everyone puts people in little ethnic boxes and fetishizes corn-fed boys from Iowa as the only "all American" ones.

[quote]Mama's mussy may also be moist.

At this point, that requires a LOT of mayonnaise.

FF the racist Nazi at R401. Go fuck a loaf of Wonder, you Qunt.

All hail the New World that gives us gods like Carl Nassib. 😍

Looking at him, I wouldn't guess him to be anything OTHER than a corn-fed boy from Iowa.

R400

What dimension are you living in? Definitely not this one.

Outaide of Florida he also registered as a Republican in Nevada in 2020. Registered on election day itself to cast his vote to reelect Trump 😔.

Thanks for the info. R408.

It's official. This fucker is DEAD TO ME.

He can shove Trump up his stinking MAGAT ass.

Some anonymous Twitter nobody types up some info on an Excel spreadsheet, snapshots and uploads it, and some dingdongs here fall for it?! Pffft

Nevada requires that you know a person's driver's license number and/or SSN to access their voter registration info. I seriously doubt "@minoritygay" has access. I call bullshit.

Is it true?

So does that also then equate to massive meat?

[quote] He’s so close to being the hottest man alive, but the Muslim/Arab/Lebanese effect is tainting the big picture. Could you imagine if he was an all American, corn fed boy from Iowa! We’d be moist just looking at him.

We would be beyond moist, we would all be literally dripping with excitement

He’s a devout Christian, which is so awesome!

Yes, times have changed over the last few years, but michael Sam was initially widely embraced by sports when he can’t out. However, he subsequently overdid the gay angle with over the top publicity and media stunts. People then quickly rolled their eyes and turned on him. Carl seems like he wants to fit in with the fellas and not draw nonfootball attention to himself. Moreover, he has been successful in the NFL for years and is already beloved by football

Of course r408 the white gays are trying to brush aside that one tidbit. To them if they’re in that Gay class range nothing bad should be said or done to them. Same reason why Cockgobbler is still prancing around.

He said he's a private person so hopefully he'll remain like that. That last thing we need is for him to be interviewed by troll like Andy Cohen who will inevitably ask him about who got the biggest dick in the lockeroom.

Privately voting for Trump.

His brothers also were football players

R419 Trumper.

Taking BOTH knees for Carl!

Here's the Carl Trumper defender in this thread:

The real Momma's Mussy gets only wet for cage meat (as in prisoners).

Great pic bro 💪🏽

The first active NBA player came out in 2013. MLB and NHL have never had active openly non-straight players.

R425, Carl Trumper defender.

R268, he’s from Westchester, a very right wing suburb outside of Philadelphia. He most likely is a MAGAT.

R404- Bring out the HELLMANNS and bring out the best.

R402- The MOST All American would be someone from Massachusetts who's ancestors came over on the Mayflower.

R390- Are you NEW?

The datalounge tagline-

POINTLESS BITCHERY sine 1995.

Buff dudes in football uniforms are so hot

R268, west Chester went for Biden. Those suburbs are what delivered the election to Biden

OF COURSE, he's a Trumper. First, that Bachelor prick, and now this guy. 0-2, y'all

Are all closeted white dudes Trump supporters? YIKES.

Well let me get my pom poms out baby!!

I appreciate that he came out when he still has a job and a paycheck, and can now focus on the upcoming season. He will likely play great with the weight lifted.

Meanwhile, Colton Underwood must feel like a giant piece of shit, given all of his antics prior to being forced to come out. Even Robin Roberts had emotion in her voice this morning mentioning Carl, vs the obvious derision she had for Colton during their interview.

Carl will most likely be attending the Trump rallies in July.

Carl Nassib is a handsome man.

More importantly, he's brave. Yes, many of us have come out and do not think that we were brave. We just did it.

But he is part of a world, where anti-gay slurs and sentiments are still all too common, a world where players kneel in circles after games to thank God for playing but mask beliefs that LGBT people are going to hell.

Yes, he's brave. And he's a role model. I cried this morning reading about his coming out. I'm 58. I wish an active NFL player had come out when I was 15 or 16. As Nassib said, "representation and visibility" matter.

He's beautiful inside and out!

Some interesting comments on the Buzzfeed article, one person saying he'd been seen on Grindr, another saying it was widely known in NFL circles (which may have given him a level of comfort in coming out. I'm sure he didn't just spring this on his coaches and teammates).

He could very well be a Trumper but that's not going to stop me from saying that the tweet in R408's post is likely fake. Why would the first column in a supposed official list of voters be for first names? The name column would have the last name in the first column, not the first.

Talk about burying the lead. Some of you bitches leave a lot to be desired.

[quote]Are all closeted white dudes Trump supporters?

A lady never tells.

Do you think he would want to top me?

Again, not all republicans are Trump supporters

Who will he hang out with first? Cockgobbler or Dr Jake?

Who are the closeted players in the league? Besides Aaron Rogers

Is he a top, a bottom, a side?

[quote] Talk about burying the lead.

It is "burying the lede."

Was he closeted though?

I mean in the traditional sense that he was dating women and his gay life was a complete secret from everyone who knew him.

Or was he "glass closeted" meaning that he was out to his friends and family, but had never made a public announcement about it, sort of like say Lee Pace or Luke Evans.

R447 Ryan O'Callaghan said in his autobiography that he likes shorter guys and he's the same height as Carl. I don't think Ryan would be into shorter tops. He also said he and AR have known each other since they competed against each other in high school and that since he's come out, Aaron doesn't talk to him likely because of the gay rumors AR deals with, but one of Aaron's estranged brothers follows Ryan on IG. So maybe AR's family wouldn't care if he was.

So brave of a multimillionaire Republican white-adjacent man to come out.

This is game-changing, monumental!

The vulgar speculation about sex roles here is part of the reason so many dudes remain closeted? Who wants to be subjected to the humiliation about intimate details of their sexual activity and desires. It’s so Immature and dehumanizing.

r444 if you are a Republican then you support the Party that supports Trump and the Big Lie. If you vote for a Republican then you may support voting restrictions or a House Rep that would support Kevin McCarthy. How about a Senator that support McConnell as Majority Leader. It's all fucking connected. A Republican is a Trump supporter at this point because you are granting power to his Party and he has an iron hold on those village idiots.

I'm getting problematic Colton Underwood vibes. I'll stick to Michael Sam, his over the top kiss shook that year's draft viewers and was some bold (though foolish) shit. Sam had some serious balls to do that kiss on live TV and he doesn't support the Orange fool or his minions.

Glad we have an out NFL player that gets to actually play, but I'm sick of conservative gays. I'm sure they are sick of my type as well.

Stop R454

Plenty of Republicans did not vote for Trump.

Tens of thousands have left the party since 1/6

And it stands to reason there are tens of thousands more who have mentally left the party but are too lazy to change affiliation or just don't know how or don't think it's that important or who cling to the hope that they can help elect non-Trumpist candidates.

They hate you, R455.

R447: oh god, anything but sides please. Sides are so fucking boring

R453 This a gay website on a thread about sexuality. This isn't for the faint of heart straights.

And I'm starting to think there was some ulterior motive. people say he's not doing so great right now so. and he's a Republican like Colton so he might be an opportunist too.

Overall it's great he's coming out but if he's a Republican he's part of the problem, ESPECIALLY IF HE VOTED FOR TRUMP

R456 He registered to vote in Nevada as Republican on the day of the election last year. What more proof do you need that he voted for Trump?

R453 is , who is an insane Xtian homophobe.

[quote] What more proof do you need that he voted for Trump?

Um, actual proof he voted for Trump.

He's a registered Republican: he voted for Trump.

Stunning and brave!

r456 if he's voting for Republicans, even if he left the POTUS box unchecked then he's still an enabler. Did the Republican Congress buck Trump's outlandish behavior between 2017-2019? No! Did Republican state governments buck his outlandish election claims? Most did, but then they turned around and passed voting restriction laws in 2021. Within the Party, Trump still has an +90% approval rating. Who do you think makes up "the Party" if not the elected Republican that Mr. Nassib is voting for?

So the people he's registered to support are the very ones that suck on Trump's balls. There is basically no day-light between Republicans and MAGA in 2021. He's just comfortable because thanks to the Democratic Party (via DADT repeal and our liberal Justices + the Chief Justice) gays have a few more rights. But it wasn't Republicans that fought along side gays, it was the Democratic party pushing most of those policies at the state and federal level.

R464 is MAGA.

[quote]Plenty of Republicans did not vote for Trump.

If you register as Republican [bold]at a polling place on election day[/bold], then - yeah - you're voting for Trump.

[quote] He's a registered Republican: he voted for Trump.

[quote] If you register as Republican at a polling place on election day, then - yeah - you're voting for Trump.

Look into how proof works.

R467 Especially in a state like Nevada, where Trump had about a zero chance of winning, but if you're a white supremacist self hating gay, then you must be loyal to the cause and go and vote.

The Florida voter registration lists him as inactive (which means he never voted), and the Nevada one from the Twitter post is fake.

Looks like the 'chans are into the act.

What a great guy!

R458, what’s a ‘side’?

Trump was very competitive in Nevada. Biden only got 50.06% of the vote, Trump received 47.67%

He's at most "cute," but the prospect of having CTE in the near future makes him less attractive

Why don't I ever see 6.7f tall handsome footballers on Grindr????

Grindr is full of trans and trans chasers these days, R475. Someone like Carl would not be on it.

r476, the poster above suggested that Carl frequents it.

He’s hot and masculine and seems like a nice guy. Can we not problematise this please!

It’s a great moment.

And yeah, he’s probably a top.

"And yeah, he’s probably a top."

😏

R475, You don't see them because they've blocked fatties like you

R449 if you believe the subsequent articles then it’s looking like a glass closet case where his inner circle knew and possibly some in the NFL circle.

Huge issue for him is his large incisors dragging on any cock he sucks!

So what if he hooks up with men on Grindr?

The alleged Republican stance is much more problematic.

He has some Arab features. His hair although blond is curly. He has a big nose. BTW I happen to like those features.

Be careful, Carl

If he is a Trump supporters then I don't consider this a great moment r478. Frankly it would be an embarassing moment.

[quote]Can we not problematise this please!

You're also not an American, R478, so you don't care that he voted for Trump.

I'm 6'3" and I'd kill to slow dance with this hunk. Hold me, baby.

hope the MAGA fag gets tortured in the locker room to the point where he is forced to retire.

I was in the booth with him when he voted Trump, TWICE! I saw him do it!

R489 i'm guessing that NFL players are able to deal with coworkers and friends voting opposite of them much more so than your average person online. They are really close knit. The quarterback of the team is really conservative and very Christian I imagine Carl is way less extreme and they all get along just fine.

At least he donated money to The Trevor Project.

I'm certain Carl agrees with all their MAGA Deplorable views and they all get along just fine.

He’s meant to be a really nice guy. There were a few NFL fans in the insta comments remarking about how friendly he was to them at NFL linked events a few years back. One even said he was the only decent NFL player he’d met. So he’s obviously not status obsessed or shallow, and happy to talk and engage with fans.

The thing is he’s a very tall, muscular, masculine football player who happens to be a nice guy - there’ll be loads of bottoms mobbing him right now. He’ll need to fight them off haha

[QUOTE] Finally, this secret cabal of straight-acting gay/bi men are stepping forward. They've just always been in the shadows, lying.

STFU, asshole. It's not that simple.

Have something against masculine homosexuals, do you?

[quote] The Florida voter registration lists him as inactive (which means he never voted), and the Nevada one from the Twitter post is fake.

This is how the Florida website defines an "inactive" voter:

An inactive voter is a voter who is sent an address confirmation final notice and does not return the postage prepaid form within 30 days or for whom a final notice was returned as undeliverable.

So he's probably listed as inactive because he moved out of Florida. It doesn't mean he didn't vote.

But I agree that the Nevada information is probably fake.

Carl is MAGA.

The sex where one player man goes up into the other player man?

This is a great moment for young bi and gay athletes

“ Finally, this secret cabal of straight-acting gay/bi men are stepping forward. They've just always been in the shadows, lying.” Shut up, dude.🙄

Is he a top or bottom?

I really hope he doesn’t come across crap like r501. Stupid

Fellow NFL players such as Saquon Barkley, JJ Watt and Tae Davis all offered their respect, support and love for Nassib’s decision to come out publicly:

Several other former NFL players, most notably Julian Edelman and Ryan Clark, also chimed in to voice their support for Nassib in this moment:

Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon offered possibly the most profound show of support, noting that he new of several teammates and peers when he played that ultimately could not make the same courageous decision Nassib did:

And one of the more touching responses came from Nassib’s former coach at Penn State, James Franklin, who offered a heartfelt show of support to his former player:

NEXT: One NFL legend each team wishes they had for 2021 Obviously, there were more than just these reactions from throughout the league and otherwise. However, the overwhelming sentiment appears to be that of supporting Nassib’s courage and decision to come out publicly.

Some of y'all really want to bend over backwards to defend Carl no matter how he votes. It's good for the Trevor Project to take his money. At the same time he still might vote for people who enact laws who would cause harm to LGBT youth which the Trevor Project tries to prevent.

I don’t care r504. I don’t choose friends based on how they vote. I have Republican friends although I vote Democratic. Why would I expect everyone to vote the same as I do. Tolerance

Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S!

Everyone has different views, I don't get why people can't understand that, let the guy alone.

[quote] that he new of

Oh, DEAR.

r2 That always helps!!

DOES HE HAVE BIG FEETS ??

If he starts becoming a Faux News guest and working as a spokesperson for Trump 2024 then maybe some people will see the issue...

R510 - “Does he have big feets”

According to the NFL stats page his foot size is 15.

IF he was indeed a right wing Republican I see the donation to the Trevor Project as turning over a new leaf.

Or a deflection from his MAGA history.

Why do ya'll fall for the contrarian troll's bullshit?

R512- According to my own stats my shoe size 17-4E.

Yeah, voting for candidates who would take away our rights and who would overturn democratic elections is just "having different views."

We will hold our breath

R518 MAGA Troll.

[quote] This is a great moment for young bi and gay athletes

NO, it's NOT.

He's right-wing Deplorable MAGAT cunt.

The gay community does NOT need this asshole representing us.

We need progressive, liberal faces who support GAY PEOPLE and not those who support politicians who legislate AGAINST US.

He can fucking DIE, for all I care.

How soon before every inch of his body is covered in tattoos?

This is the kind of man we should be worshiping

No one should be worshiping a football player, no matter how hot he is.

God, I hope never, r521. Leave that gorgeous body pure and unblemished.

No surprise that Klan Grannies would be drooling and lusting all over this disgusting Deplorable MAGAT cunt.

R521- You mean how long before every inch of his body is covered in BAD TASTE.

Let's just hope "your Republican friends" also believe in "tolerance" being a two-way street, R505.

Let's hope he remains a civilian and does not become a SCENE QUEEN.

Have any of the rumored closeted players congratulated him? I remember reading AR reading years ago that he said the league was closer to fully accepting a gay player when he congratulated Ryan in the same interview or article

found it

[quote]The MOST All American would be someone from Massachusetts who's ancestors came over on the Mayflower.

Oh, dear.

R528 Nope. AR is completely silent.

[quote]He’s a devout Christian

Which means he's probably been hit in the head one too many times.

How sad that the first openly gay NFL player turned out to be a POS MAGA. There are pictures of him hanging out with guys wearing Dump shirts.

[quote]He’s a devout Christian

Is Jesus the only man in his life?

R524 wait til the Klan Grannies find out he’s Arab-American…

[quote] Finally!

Finally! Finally, what?

We have a disgusting Deplorable MAGAT to "represent" us?

Someone who supports a traitorous, treasonous mad man who instigated an insurrection against the legitimately elected President?

Someone who supports hate, and discrimination, and white supremacists, and russian interference in our government, and bigotry?

Someone who supports the dismantling of the American government, and right-wing QAnon conspiracy theorists?

WE SHOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS???

Go fuck yourself.

This goddamned MAGAT can drop dead, and he wouldn't be missed.

One of you is 58 and cried over this news? Were you an NFL hopeful back in the day?

Lmaoo

MAGA faggots deserve to be hate crimed.

Fuck this goofy looking dork.

R530 You'd think AR would feel confident enough in his heterosexuality to congratulate Carl now that's he's engaged to a woman who he really likes because he really likes women.

One of these things is not like the other. Can you spot the difference?

If AR is family, he's bisexual. Olivia Munn's comments on Whitney Cummings's podcast talk about sex with her gayish ex.

Why would Aaron be bisexual?? He gay.

R540, having sex with a woman doesn’t make a gay man “bisexual.”

I know his famiily back in PA - they are working class dems. I doubt he is a magat

[R540], having sex with a woman doesn’t make a gay man “bisexual.”

exactly, that's a different set of rules.

having sex with a man however makes a straight man gay

As a straight man who really, really likes women, I would like to congratulate this gay guy on being the only gay to ever play football!

R540 I think she said he wasn't into eating her like the other guys she'd been with. If he was bi, he'd like it I would think. Maybe she doesn't want to say she dated a full on gay guy because that would out her as a beard for hire.

If you’ve touched vagina, you’re bisexual. Like if you killed someone, you’re a murderer, if you raped someone, you’re a rapist. You can’t take back the action.

Trolls be trolling big time today.

Unless our mothers had a C section, we're all bisexual since we've touched vaginas, at least according to the simpleton @R547.

Damn ...

[quote] I know his famiily back in PA - they are working class dems. I doubt he is a magat

PLEASE!

It has already been proven that he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.

Cancel this MAGAT motherfucker!

R540 She said the sex was “the worst.” That’s because he’s not attracted to women. He’s not bi - he’s gay.

[quote] The gay community does NOT need this asshole representing us.

When did we elect him to do this?

R551, guilt by association.

I won’t be supporting him. How the fuck are you going to donate to the Trevor Project, yet you vote for people who want to stop gays from having rights? How fucked up is that?!

[quote] It has already been proven that he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.

No. No, it was not proved.

Nice message of support from Bo Jackson

Can he handle me?

Can he handle me?

R552- Are you off your meds?

GURRRRRL... like you needed to come out. Who didn’t know?

People who think that "progressive" left still care for gay people are so fucking delusional.

[Quote] If he was bi, he'd like it I would think

I'm not into anal. That doesn't make me any less gay.

[Quote] She said the sex was “the worst.” That’s because he’s not attracted to women. He’s not bi - he’s gay.

If he's gay, why even bother to have sex with her? Tab Hunter didn't fuck Debbie Reynolds.

[quote] People who think that "progressive" left still care for gay people are so fucking delusional.

Shut your stupid fucking face.

You think the crazed right-wing QAnon Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley Deplorable MAGATs care about US??????

No they fucking DON'T!!!

And these are the people this rotten cunt Nassib supports.

But you want us to support HIM???

Go fuck yourself. He can die in a motherfucking grease fire.

[quote] [R540] She said the sex was “the worst.” That’s because he’s not attracted to women. He’s not bi - he’s gay.

If he’s had sex with a WOMAN then he’s bi.

If only we had options other than these two extremes....

Datalounge has become unbearable now. Nothing but rage. The amount of demonizing and mistrust I see here is truly depressing. It feels like "The Great Petulance", the last chapter of "The Magic Mountain" just before WWI broke out.

Rage? Mary!

r535, I'm the OP, who wrote the "Finally!" when I posted the article. I meant "Finally an openly gay active player the NFL" and "Finally an active player came out." I posted that roughly a half hour after the news broke, and was the first one on the site (though not the last) to post the news.

I apologize for not searching through his voting history and doing a full background check before expressing happiness that a player in the NFL had come out, which felt, and still feels, momentous to me. Clearly I should have held off on having an opinion and sharing breaking news with others on this site until I did my due diligence into his character to ensure he is a proper gay role model.

"Finally," as someone who certainly doesn't support Republicans, insurrectionsts, or MAGATs, let me say that you can go fuck yourself long and hard, you sanctimonious asshole. None of the things that have come out about him were known at the time I posted that, and your insistence on reading more into that single word than any reasonable person could believe says everything about you, you worthless piece of shit.

Go rub your little nub of a micropenis to photos of QAnon Carl Nassib, you little twat R571.

MAGAt FAGAt.

Just put that troll on ignore. This thread is a lot more bearable without him attacking others non stop.

It's the "progressive left" that fought for gay marriage. Being in favor of gay marriage was considered a far left opinion at one time.

R562 it sounds so self hating to pull up that photo as proof he was obviously gay.

Scanning a guy’s Instagram to see if there’s one moment which could be interpreted as somehow not 100% masc is self hating.

Anyway, that photo does not look nellie. Before his announcement no-one would have looked twice at it.

Time to create a Part 2 thread. The title should refer to his registered Republican status AND be amusing.

This thread almost hits 600. Someone should start a part 2. Otherwise people will keep bumping the 20 different Carl threads randomly just to discuss him.

Link to Part 2 as requested.

MAGAt FAGAt: Receipts!

[quote] If only we had options other than these two extremes....

The "progressive left" is not an extreme. In fact, to judge from opinion polls you can argue that progressive left policies have broad mainstream support (gun control, voting rights, higher taxes on high income, environmental protections, etc.). It's the gross biases in the political system that let Republlicans (who HAVE become extremist) block any of those things.

R580, so? where are the receipts exactly?

^ Amen, r581!

[quote]I think she said he wasn't into eating her like the other guys she'd been with.

Preach, sister.

Has Herschel Walker's asshole gay son been reached for comment?

What we know as a fact is that he was a registered Republican and a lot of his social circle are outspoken MAGA fans.

It doesn't look promising.

Hey Carl- so you’re MAGA. Congrats. Oh, you won’t be the first person in the ovens but you will be in the ovens. Congrats!

I really don’t get the hate because “he is a MAGAt.” Other than some questionable copies of supposed voter registration, evertything is purse supposition. People are making assumptions based upon very flimsy “evidence”. Oh yeah, he took a picture with someone wearing a Trump t-shirt. And this supposedly proves he voted for Trump twice. How about we wait until he actually says something that makes his Political affiliation a bit more clear before judging?

MAGAt apologist at R588.

[Quote]Other than some questionable copies of supposed voter registration,

There is nothing questionable about his Florida registration, he was a registered Republican. You can look it up yourself in 5 seconds r588.

registering to vote as a rethug in 2019, isn't exactly "flimsy evidence" of magatness, it's the receipt.

[quote] Other than some questionable copies of supposed voter registration

There's nothing "questionable" or "supposed" about his voter registration in Florida. You can look it up yourself. Type in his name and his birthdate (4/12/1993) and -- Voila! -- it magically appears.

"How about we wait?"

MAGAt Apologist.

[Quote] purse supposition

Delicious typo.

indeed, quite the slip

Slip and tuck

Not sure about Nassib, but a lot of people who are registered to vote don't actually vote

In my area the couple registers as one party, but she votes dem, he votes GOP, pretty common actually

HOW SAD that the first active NFL player with the courage to come out is a registered republican. A shame the closeted players who are democrats can't do the same.

That's 600. Take it over to thread 2:

I think he's brave and wonderful. I hope he'll endorse me politically, and who knows, we could become good friends.

The "Carl is MAGA and everyone supporting him is a MAGAT" Troll, who is everywhere on this thread and who is also the GAPPlaylistGuy (or whatever the fuck he calls himself) Troll can FUCK OFF AND DIE. No one cares what you think, you tedious CUNT.

[quote]If it weren't for woke culture, he'd still have to hide in the closet and you fucking know it. So when you bitch more about the "radical left" than the fascist right, remember that this guy couldn't have come out if the Republican/conservative mentality a lot of you have enabled, were prevalent in this country

Oops. Guessing he's probably not a fan of "woke culture".

Can we talk again about what a hot couple him and Jimmy G would make?
