Carl Nassib, the National Football League’s (NFL) first active openly gay player, has announced his retirement from the sport.
The 30-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers player made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday (6 September).
He described it as a “bittersweet moment,” but said that “after seven seasons and just over 100 NFL games I am officially retiring from football to focus on my company Rayze.”
Rayze is a social media app that connects volunteers to non-profits, who can also use it to raise funds. The idea came to Nassib while he volunteered at a nearby juvenile detention in Tampa Bay.
