Nassib became the first NFL professional to admit homosexuality

“What’s up guys, I just wanted to take a brief moment and say that I’m gay. I’ve wanted to do this for a while and I’m finally comfortable getting rid of it, “said the Defensive End in a video posted on Instagram on Monday.

The 28-year-old thanked his family and friends for their support, through whom he recently felt it was possible to “say publicly and proudly that I am gay”. This moment has tormented him for the past 15 years.

Nassib reported that he had received support from the NFL, his coaches and teammates. He was immediately greeted with “the greatest respect and acceptance”. He doesn’t take the step because he wants attention. “I just think that representation and visibility are so important,” said the professional. Initial reactions in the social networks were mostly positive and supportive.
