If he ain't helping the Raiders win a Super Bowl, I couldn't care less.

Thats awesome, its still pretty heavily stigmatized in the sporting world. I just came across this The Onion video today:

https://youtu.be/u6vSejda71w

They mention how Jason Collins was never heard from again after he publicly came out, and it is kind of eerie. Granted, he was a mid-30s 7-footer so he was at retirement age and it was almost certainly just a coincidence, but still.

It took 31 years, but finally the team I root for is in the number one spot for something.

I'll take it.

i'm actually stoked that a raider, of all teams, felt comfortable enough to come out. I honestly never would have expected it from ths team. Hopefully the team doesn't pull a full Incognito.

Yo wtf is this shit Al Davis was a champion for minorities and did more to help than any other NFL owner in history. His son carries that legacy on.

it's always surprising to hear stuff like this, when we live in a society that's supposed to be progressive and supposed to have made so many significant strides in recent years, and yet it it took until literally 2021 for a gay NFL player to feel comfortable coming out. i would not have guessed that he is the first player to have done so. it's strange how there is still such a stigma about it in a lot of professional settings.
I imagine the issue is having a job where you shower with your coworkers and be naked in the locker room all the time with a bunch of insecure manly macho men.

Im a Raider surrporter. Once they left Oakland, I couldn't be a fan. I still have my OAKLAND RAIDERS stuff, but I can't be fan after they left. (The city is to blame also, but that's another story)

With that said, RN4L!!!

That's really rad. The NFL isn't exactly the most gay-friendly organization, so this is cool to see.

I really dont care if someone is gay. If he likes men then that is his business. That won't change what i think of him.

Not quite Pro Bowl material but he's a capable starter for most teams and wouldn't be at risk of getting cut.

Wasn't he the guy on hard knocks that was trying to teach the other Browns defensive linemen how to save/invest their money and they were just laughing at him?

Not a chance, he put up decent numbers last year and was brought in on the most horrible defenses ever to help. At the very least he would end up as a rotational spot.

He wasn't drafted when he came out, and didn't end up playing a regular season game. I assume that's the distinction being made here

Michael Sam never played a game in the NFL.

Preseason doesnt count. He never made an active roster.

He was drafted in the 7th I believe.

He did get drafted but alright guess it he is because he never played a regular season game.

This too.

Was the first openly gay player to be drafted and play in a preseason game. Think he made a PS so first on there too.

Good for him to be comfortable coming out. Hopefully his teammates are supportive and fuck anyone who isn't.

We all know the people who take issues with this are the same people who wants their team to go after Kareem hunt.

I'm not gonna fact check this, but The Onion is a parody news site.
