Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib, the first active NFL player to publicly come out as gay, announced he'll wear rainbow cleats in Sunday's game against the Washington Football Team to support The Trevor Project.
Week 13 is the league's annual "My Cause, My Cleats" event, where players can wear specially designed cleats to support a cause of their choice.
TMZ Sports reported Friday that Nassib's footwear will also include The Trevor Project logo, the phrase "protect LGBTQ+ lives" and the phone number for the organization's suicide prevention lifeline for young LGBTQ+ people, 1-866-488-7386.
