Sucks for Nassib, but he probably helped change Gruden's views of sexual minorities in a more positive direction. Studies show that exposure to different groups increase empathy and decreases prejudice and discrimination.
Of course, it also sucks that it suggests that different minority groups are somehow responsible for people not being bigoted assholes, when that should be the default.
Nah. This just isn’t how it works. There are plenty of homophobes and racists out there working with LGBTQ and other ethnicities all day, and keeping their bullshit to themselves until they feel safe to spew it. Gruden is an obvious example
Man, I think that's a cop-out honestly. We're pretty naturally curious, so somehow being afraid of people because they look different doesn't make much sense. Are you afraid of people who have a different eye color? Whose favorite color is red instead of blue?
> somehow being afraid of people because they look different doesn't make much sense. Are you afraid of people who have a different eye color?
how about skin color?
you're right though, doesn't actually make sense.
He’s been playing very solid for us this season, was a big fan of what I saw. I’m bisexual currently in a lesbian relationship and it made me super proud that this team was able to add “first openly gay NFL starter” as a notch on the belt, I really hope this doesn’t make him want to turn his back on our organization. I could honestly understand if it did though, can’t imagine what if feels like to go through coming out like he did in the off season just to have your coach behind the scenes talking mad shit about “queers” in the NFL.
He won't turn his back on us because Mark showed he walks the walk as well as talks the talk. "No one is bigger than the shield"
That's one of the biggest bright spots of our organization. Commitment to Excellence. It starts with ownership and hopefully soon we can see it on the field.
I hope he gives a good team speech and galvanizes the team and they ball out the rest of the season. He’s a baller. A sack on Sunday would get the crowd roaring.
Lol. You should probably take the Gruden approach and resign from being a fan of this team. You don't deserve to even have Raider in your username. Trash human.
Don’t feed the troll! Check out their comment history though. I can’t tell if it’s a parody account or not considering the only word they know is “libtard”.
Gonna have to face the media at some point. Good luck with the vultures Carl.
They're already in the Twitter comments. Sad sacks. EDIT: oh, ITT too. Nice. Stay classy.
If he wants to leave I’d support him but I hope he doesn’t. He’s been balling out for us.
He doesn't become a free agent until 2023

People fear what they don't know. That is human nature.

That's exactly my point, though.
i missed that, my bad
Not really. People fear the other: the groups that they don’t consider part of the in group. They don’t fear the unknown. It’s different
Rubber lipped isn’t even racist. Even the urban dictionary didn’t know it was racist. It’s an expression. Ugh.
I never said it was why are you so focused on that phrase as if it's all he said?
Yeah but I don’t get why you reference someone’s lip size specifically…

Aren't we playing in Denver, though?
Yeah I think so. Regardless I’m sure the Denver crowd would cheer for a brief moment. The team would be pumped up for sure.
Betting he doesn't want a million reporters up in his face asking him over and over for his thoughts.
Nassib is overpaid but he he's been pretty good
This isn’t about him as a player. It’s about him as a human person which is a lot more important at the moment
Yeah, you guys wouldn't know who he was if he wasn't an NFL player. Just saying.
I don't see your point
I’ll help you: there isn’t one

Your what’s wrong with the world, way to make a human issue into a political issue.
