Moving home to Los Angeles, he worked in his aunt's Santa Monica flooring store for three-plus decades, often dealing with movie industry designers, many of whom were gay.

I was the go to guy at our office for the bosses friends who all had gay designers. Been working with the gays since the 80's. We had a showroom in the design center. I was a commercial guy but got called in for the big clients to see the projects through
Yes it is true -
Does this mean he is quitting football and taking up soccer?DerekJohnson said: -
My conspiracy theory on this is that Nassib has something in his contract about getting a portion of jersey sales revenue so he decided to come out because he knew his jersey would instantly sell through the roof.

Would’ve been more shocked if he had come out as a pass rusher

If he was already thinking about coming out, and then he has a financial incentive for doing so (which he would anyways, even if those are hypothetical opportunities at more income versus something written in to a contract), that could be a reason for doing it. The guy's not an idiot. He was on Hard Knocks teaching financial planning to all of his teammates. If I had some particular identity trait and was in a position to capitalize on it I would make the decision to do so.animate said:
