He's the first guy on a current NFL roster to come out. That's just a tad bit newsworthy.

I'm sure there's more but who gives a s**t as long as he can play that's all that I would care about.

good for him, hopefully more male athletes just start publicly dating whoever they want without having to make these types of announcements.

i bet usa soccer star christian pulisic will come out soon

I thought Goodell's response was perfect. He said at the end that he looks forward to the day when this wouldn't be newsworthy.

Good for him. It's a good deal because there's a bunch of backwards fans, players, coaching staff, and front office people who are homophobic. May not be big in Cali but homophobia still a thing
