49ers assistant coach Katie Sowers becomes first openly LGBT coach
CBS Sports ^ | August 22, 2017 | Jared Dubin

Earlier this offseason, the San Francisco 49ers made Katie Sowers the second female full-time coach in NFL history. Kathryn Smith, who spent the 2016 season as a special teams quality control coach for the Buffalo Bills, was the first.

On Tuesday, Sowers herself made history, when she opened up to OutSports and become the first openly LGBT coach in the NFL, male or female.

"No matter what you do in life, one of the most important things is to be true to who you are," Sowers said. "There are so many people who identify as LGBT in the NFL, as in any business, that do not feel comfortable being public about their sexual orientation. The more we can create an environment that welcomes all types of people, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, the more we can help ease the pain and burden that many carry every day."

It makes more sense for a dyke to be “the first” in this regard. The guy GerBiLs are more into flower shops and art galleries.

Yeah, I go to a sports bar to watch dykes talk about football, while the players are wearing pink & flipping off the American Flag.

At this point, I’m going to conclude that the NFL is actively committing suicide.

Unless you’re a Trump Supporter. Then you’re just a Nazi who deserves whatever Violence is used against you.

You know, you just asked for it like a Rape Victim who wore Provocative Clothing.

National Flameboy League!

Yeah, I know, the coach is a hillesbian clinton, but all homos (including lesbians) are flameboys when you think about it.

I can’t imagine any NFL player is going to keep a straight face when she tries to do her job. LOL.

Well, we could ask Bruce Jenner or Chopper Bob Tur but hey, none of us wants to be within 1,000 yards of either of them.
