The NFL released a commercial on Monday showing support for the LGBTQ+ community on the heels of Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib revealing he is gay.

The commercial starts out saying: "Football is gay." The clip then dives into other adjectives about the sport.

"If you love this game, you are welcome here. Football is for all. Football is for everyone," the league said in a tweet. "The NFL stands by the LGBTQ+ community today and every day."

The league also provided information about The Trevor Project and how fans can contribute to the cause. The Trevor Project is "world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth," according to its website.

Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay. He made the announcement on social media and announced a $100,000 donation to The Trevor Project.

"I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that Im gay," he said. "Ive been meaning to do this for a while now but finally feel comfortable getting it off my chest. I really have the best life, the best family, friends and job a guy can ask for.

"Im a pretty private person so I hope you guys know that Im not doing this for attention. I just think that representation and visibility are so important. 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 thats accepting and compassionate."

Sounds homophobic, what with football being boring bullshit and all.

It's a sport about a bunch of guys grabbing on each other, of course it's gay.

Itll be fine.

Attitudes have changed a lot. Of course there will be the vocal minority who will scream. The majority will be cool with it.

The only thing that'll cancel football will be the stats of how many of their players get applesauce brains by age 60 getting released

On international women's day or something, Burger King tweeted "women belong in the kitchen" (deliberately) and continued the twitter thread with a bunch of stats about how women are actually underrepresented in the kitchen and how the "chef" positions are still a male-dominated position, despite the stereotype of women being the ones who allegedly belong in the kitchen.

It really was a brilliant mechanism for catching attention and delivering some stats that I truthfully did not know, but of course people don't understand logic so BK had to cancel themselves and delete the tweet.

I'm a little sad to imagine that Kansas City is going to use dude's homosexuality as an insult towards the Raiders from here.

bro what

the biggest thing the raiders have done in the past two decades is celebrate their 2020 week 5 victory over KC like it was the damn super bowl

why would KC need to pay them any more attention than we already do (which is to say review the schedule and mark them as a W)

I meant some of the individual fans really. Probably not even close to half of the fanbase. I'm just unfortunate to know some of those people that would taunt Vegas/Oakland about the "sissy" on their team.

It's football though. Worse has been said and done. It's just exhausting dealing with the stupidity and adding on to it.

If gay acceptance is doing well enough for the NFL to feel they can profit off it, I guess that's good

I really wish everyone would stop shoving Tom Brady's sexuality down our throats. He's married to an attractive woman and had children with her. We get it. Keep that shit private. No one wants to know about the personal lives of athletes. They want them to throw a ball and get concussions.

I guess that kid singing "the superbowl is gay" was right all along.

I'm not American, so I've probably mixed up two different sports there or something.
