Greg Ellis: "People who’ve never been in an NFL shower room, not just locker room, it’s a open room. We don’t have private curtains. It’s just an open-form shower, so everybody sees each in the nude. Well if you’re looking at men as if you’re looking at women or vice versa, how are those guys to receive that?"

Why would someone announce they’re happy?

TBH, I'd rather have a locker room full of women showering in an open room with me than men. It's not even debatable!

Yeah I would definitely understand if any teammates had a problem with that.

It’s 2021. Is it really “brave” to “come out” anymore? I think fans care more about number of QB sacks this guy gets; they couldn’t care less how many guys he hits the sack with.

Good for him.

I think it still is in the NFL, otherwise a lot more of these guys would be out. There are undoubtedly more gay NFL players.

I agree. A person coming out of the closet now has become the trend and it is so common that eyebrows are not even raised any more. I guess it is just me, but I don’t understand why announcing your sexuality is really necessary these days.

Good for Carl.

I got used to this type thing 30+ years ago because of one Gunny Hartman....
