Out football player, Carl Nassib has made history again during the NFL’s Wild Card playoff game, reports Gay Times.
Last year, Nassib made headlines when he came out as gay in a heartfelt Pride Month Instagram post.
A few months later, the Las Vegas Raiders star became the first out player to earn a spot on the roster and play in a regular season.
Nassib continued to make history on January 15th, when he became the first out player to participate in an NFL playoff game.
The monumental achievement came after weeks of uncertainty due to the 28-year-old’s recent knee injury and COVID-19 isolation.
Unfortunately, after a tense game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Raiders ended up losing with a score of 19-26.
