After Nassib coming out: NFL donates, jersey sales pick up – sport

According to a report by the US celebrity portal “TMZ”, the 28-year-old professional’s shirt became a bestseller on a sports merchandise platform and was sold more often than the jerseys of stars like Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes.

The NFL donated $ 100,000 to the Trevor Project. The league announced in a tweet on Tuesday. Nassib, Defensive End with the Las Vegas Raiders, had made his homosexuality public the day before and announced a $ 100,000 donation to the aid organization, which, among other things, looks after young LGBTQ + people with a pastoral telephone. The English abbreviation LGBTQ + stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people, the plus sign is a placeholder for other identities and genders.

Nassib is entering his sixth season in the NFL and was two years for the Cleveland Browns and Tamba Bay Buccaneers before joining the Raiders in summer 2020. The next season starts in September.
