It's called "victimized virtue signaling".
Here's how it works:
This latest generation coming into adulthood now was told they were special even if they weren't. Mommy and daddy didn't hug you after a failure, they completely plowed the roads clear for kids so there would BE no problems. Kids wear helmets to jerk off these days. Soccer mom's made sure that all kids got trophies just for showing up. If kids DID fail at something, it wasn't because they fvcking suck, it was because their generation X parents made them feel as though there was another excuse that they simply couldn't control.
Example:
Kid isn't getting to play on the football team.
It's because the kid simply fvcking sucks.
But mommy and daddy will convince themselves AND the kid that it's because the coaches have a grudge or don't like the kid.
" it's not his fault. His coach doesn't like him because of ___________ "(insert bullsh!t excuse).
To relate it to this guy, I have to explain the second part of this----- the "virtue signal".
By telling people he's gay, or bisexual (how ever you wish to categorize it) he's showing people that he's socially "woke" so he's gaining empathy from the socially trending consciously aware people in America. The folks calling themselves "woke"---- as if to imply they are more enlightened or intelligent than the rest of you pathetic Neanderthals. It's considered socially cool now to suck wood and smash taco no matter what sex or gender you are. (Currently the woke crowd says there's 17 genders or some such) and the way it works is there a spectrum. Whether you were born with twig and berries or a taco, no longer matters. What matters is where YOU believe you fall on that spectrum. Do you have a penis but wish you had a cooter and you have sex with men that used to have a penis but had it chopped off and now have a vagina? The you fall ................here... on the spectrum of gender.
Did you used to have a penis but now you have a cooter and you like having sex with bisexual men and men that used to have a cooter (born as a woman) but had your cooter filled in and had a penis attached to you? Then you fall ....here.. On the gender spectrum.
With all this said---- this guy isn't good enough to get a job in the NFL anymore and he wants to virtue signal that he likes penis and cooter (making him super woke to the woke crowd) and because he knows deep in his heart he isn't good enough to PLAY, he's now got a built in excuse that the super woke Twitter crowd can use FOR him as to why he can't get a job in the NFL. The social media zombies will all say in his defense that he can't get a job because of the toxic masculinity in the NFL locker room and the owners don't want him because he's gay and would be a distraction in the locker room.
The real reality is that yes, he'd be a distraction for all of about 5 minutes, then everyone would forget about it and move on and it would only be thought about when cooter/penis guy brought it up. And of course any time he felt as though he wasn't getting enough playing time or a good enough offer on his contract extension, it would be because (obviously) the owner hates "fags" and the organization is obviously homo/bi/trans/whatever phobic.
So in conclusion--- he's doing this because he's not mentally tough. He's not good enough to Play at that level consistently. He was spoiled and told he was great his whole life only to find out he's not AS great as HE thought. He doesn't know how to deal with that. So he's manufacturing an excuse for his own personal shortcomings and doing so in a manner that makes him appear to a victim of sexual discrimination instead of the fact that he just ain't good enough to Play.
And he gets an added bonus of you not being able to tell him that he sucks, because if you say that, you've now attacked him because he likes penis. So now YOU'RE the bad guy.
Hope that clears it up for you.
