Welp: NFL Veteran Ryan Russell Opens Up About His Sexuality!

NFL defensive end Ryan Russell has come out as bisexual and said he hopes to be the first openly LGBTQ athlete to play in a regular season game. Russell, 27, went public with his sexuality in an ESPN article.

Judging from the fact that there isn't a single openly LGBTQ player in the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball or the NHL, brings me pause," Russell said. "I want to change that for me, for other athletes who share these common goals, and for the generations of LGBTQ athletes who will come next."

Russell, a Texas native who played college football at Purdue University in Indiana, said he decided to speak out as “a talented football player, a damn good writer, a loving son, an overbearing brother, a caring friend, a loyal lover, and a bisexual man."
