Just one week after Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out, the NFL itself made a statement in support of LGBTQ rights on Monday.
The league posted a video to its official Twitter account that used white text on a black screen to unfurl a series of statements the first of which was, “Football is gay.”
A number of other statements follow in the footage including, “Football is lesbian,” “Football is beautiful,” “Football is transgender, “Football is queer” and “Football is for everyone.”
If you love this game, you are welcome here. Football is for all. Football is for everyone.
The NFL stands by the LGBTQ+ community today and every day.
