Las Vegas Raiders DE Carl Nassib announces he is gay on social media. Can’t wait to see reactions from Joe and Jane Yee-Haw! about why he has to be all in their face about it.
Can't be any worse than when players were kneeling for the anthem resulting in fans burning their jerseys and threatening to stop watching football forever.
The response from the Yee-Haw family I’v seen most often on Twitter has been “I don’t care, why do I need to know this:” When I see this I always think that what they’re really saying is “don’t publicize this, it’ll get normalized.” That’s a similar response to reports of racism. If it’s never reported then it doesn’t exist and they can pretend they still live in the 50’s or something. I’m sure it’s worse depending on where on the internet you go. Cudos to Nassib. This took guts. But what’s interesting will be when other players start to come out. I’m sure some heads will explode. In the meantime, GO RAIDERS!!!
I believe some of the latest NFL power rankings have the Texans ranked at 33 out of 32 teams. The Texans are such a mess right now it's unbelievable. Watson has basically not only pissed on the Texans but on himself as well. I don't think he'll be on the field for any team this season, and possibly not ever again. The Texans are the very definition of the term "cluster fuck". LOL

Henderson might be a decent replacement (he had some monster games last year) and they''ll sign a veteran or two
The NFL has informed teams that if a game cannot be played and cannot be rescheduled due to a COVID outbreak among non-vaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will forfeit the game and it will go down as a loss in their record ... which has obviously far-reaching playoff implications. It's really weird to see the goddamn NFL, of all leagues, taking the strongest stance on "get the goddamn shot(s), you morons." Edit: In the event of a forfeit, all players on both teams will not get their weekly game check. No one gets paid if a game is canceled because of a COVID outbreak.
Wouldn't have been announced if the NFLPA hadn't already agreed to it; anything that can adjust player compensation has to be collectively bargained. You forget how weak and spineless the NFLPA has become under De Smith's leadership.
Normally I hate to see players lose game checks like that, but under these circumstances I feel like that's the only thing that'll knock some sense into their skulls. Get vaccinated, you dopes.

I can - because Jerry is a self-absorbed idiot. Just like his buddy Dan "Dark Heart" Snyder. Two peas in a pod, those. Honestly, I don't think it's any more mystifying or complicated than that. He just doesn't want to say the quiet part out loud, because he's a self-absorbed idiot. Q.E.D.
