I lost followers today.
I lost them after posting a picture of my boyfriend and I.
I know social media is toxic, but I really like to believe this community is better than that.
I was in the closet for 28 years and I'm NEVER going to apologize for being me.
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
You see, this is why we need
#PrideMonth
this is why I continue to say
#LGBTQ
people BELONG
This is why I started
#RainbowBowl
so that dumb fucks like Harrison fucking Butker don't feel comfortable in the world anymore
We aren't going anywhere!
Realistically this man should be president in 2028, he's well spoken, educated, realistic in his goals, kind, has his morals.
But his biggest, most egregious, unshakable reason he probably won't be president...
He's gay.
That should not be a reason not to vote for this man
Please take 2 minutes out of your day and watch
@PeteButtigieg
perfectly articulate why Republicans behave the way that they do, and how it harms people more than it could ever help.
So well said, Pete. Thank you.
It blows my mind that the democratic party hasn't backed this man with 1000% enthusiasm
He's the best speaker, he's charismatic, he's the guy that could really set the tone for the next 2 decades of politics
@ColinCowherd
@DrHoodieMaddog
You're aware that we had no idea what the lasting effects would be and everything was done out of an abundance of caution, right?
Every time I post about LGBT stuff or political things I lose followers.
People do realize I am a gay man with actual concerns in this country right?
Like, I love fantasy football, but when the country just told women to fuck off I feel like I should... idk say something?
Twitter friends: a favor
Tomorrow is the start of Pride Month.
Breaking news (not really) I'm gay 🏳️🌈
I consider my page a place where everyone can come and interact and feel welcome.
However, I wonder if the
#FantasyFootball
community feels the same.
I wanted to take a minute and thank every single one of you. I'm working through the comments, but I felt I needed to send out a thank you from the bottom of my heart!
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Ok a few takes for this season
🚨Swift will not finish top 10 this season
🚨Diontae Johnson will be top 10
🚨Rashod Bateman is a top 20 play
🚨there's only 1 rookie RB to roster...Hall
🚨 Chris Olave will be the best rookie WR
🚨 Brandin Cooks will outscore Juju this year
I say this with respect, but with no remorse
Andrew Luck is NOT a Hall of Fame caliber player, by any means. If he gets in, he does so on speculation of what he could have been.
Yes, he was very talented, but his accomplishments are not HoF worthy.
LOVE ALWAYS WINS
LOVE IS LOVE
Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shared, commented, liked this post. You brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart!

#SFB14
SEE Y'ALL ON THE FANTASY GRIDIRON!
Huge shoutout to
@ScottFish24
@FantasyCaresOrg
and every single person involved in making this league possible
Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT FINALLY CAME!
Thank you
@ScottFish24
for the OFFICIAL invite into
#SFB12
I am so excited to join so many fantasy football players in this incredible tradition!
I think people have liked me too much lately...
So some takes
🚨 Aiyuk is going to be a better ROI than Deebo
🚨 Keenan Allen is still the WR to roster in LA
🚨 In redraft, unless it's SF Justin Jefferson is your
#1
pick
🚨 David Njoku is about to be a top 8 option
If Tampa went and got Jameis Winston again they would instantly be back in playoff contention.
Jameis is the most talented QB I have ever seen get absolutely fucked on chances.
What's everyone's thoughts on Saquon Barkley?
For me he's still an elite RB1 option with very little competition for touches
I'm curious what others think?
I'm about to hit the road for a 10 hour trip, but first some redraft takes!
🚨 there is no startable pass catcher in Tennessee
🚨 Zeke Elliot is going to be a LEAGUE WINNER at current value
🚨 Austin Ekeler probably isn't worth his ADP this year
🚨 Jameis is a QB1
Potential SLEEPER overall WR1 for redraft this season
🚨Diontae Johnson
🚨Mike Evans
🚨Allen Lazard
🚨Courtland Sutton
🚨Amari Cooper
I don't think they WILL I think they COULD and will draft them as such
Can't wait to watch Ron Rivera call plays tonight...
I'll save you the trouble:
Slam the rb into the line 25 times
Terry McLaurin run wind sprints
Curtis Samuel in/out route
Read option that's never an option
2 MINUTE DRILL RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
Field goal
If you follow my account for fantasy football, thank you, I appreciate you.
But right now, if you follow me, I need your help in fighting bigotry.
Please, take a stand for LGBTQ people. You never know if someone close to you is suffering in this battle.
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
You want takes? You got em!
🚨 Justin Jefferson is in for a Cooper Kupp season
🚨 The NE RB to roster is none of them
🚨 Justin Fields is about to support a top 15 WR AND a top 10 TE
🚨 Lamar Jackson is going to go for 1k rushing again, 10+ TD
🚨 Trey Lance won't be top 12
2 years ago today, I came out 🌈
2 years ago today, I told my parents
2 years ago today, I told my brother
2 years ago today. My life changed and I felt like myself for the first time.
2 years ago today I decided I was done hiding who I am.
And every year forward I'll be me.
I've held off on the official posting, but I'm literally having the best trip ever and it's because of this man next to me!
Love comes when you least expect it, and often when you most need it
We're happy, people!
💙💜❤️💚💛🧡🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
As a community we need, NEED, to prop this movie up the same way we have with Heartsopper, RWRB, Young Royals
If we want visibility, if we want to have a real voice in media, we need to support these films.
Please, don't dismiss Ari and Dante. Inclusion needs to be for all.
Skip Bayless became famous at a time when talent meant way less in media, when saying the most shocking "hot take" got you views.
He's a relic, a fraud, a joke.
He's uninformed, his takes are lazy, and now he's shown he's out of touch.
Time for him to go away
@WrestleOps
I'm a shocking twist, the company decided to put it's best talent on FULL DISPLAY BECAUSE SAMANTHA IS GOAT'D
It's her and Lillian Garcia.
Jordan and Lebron of their worlds
I'm going through a breakup.
It feels weird to write that. But that's the truth. I didn't expect it, I didn't want it to happen, but it is.
It hurts, I won't lie, it fucking sucks.
You've seen me post about him, this posts will NOT be deleted.
Because he changed me.
Often times your first 3 rounds don't dictate who wins your redraft league
It's those middle rounds, where those sleeper picks live, that wins you your league
Last year it was Cooper Kupp
The year before it was Stefon Diggs
League winners live in those rounds
Who's next?
ADVICE NEEDED
I'm feeling beaten down a bit...
I'm thankful for my followers and for the engagement people give to my posts, but lately I've been getting down on myself because of the negative responses
How do you all deal with the negativity that Twitter can bring?
I have made the decision to move on from High Point.
Equality, fairness, and inclusivity are the most important thing to me. And I cannot fight for my LGBTQ siblings and then leave women out of my fight.
Stand strong and speak loudly all you badass women! 💜🧡💚🩵
Going out to dinner with my parents tonight, so I figure I'll serve up some takes
🚨 Antonio Gibson will out touch Javonte Williams, so plan accordingly
🚨 Jonathan Taylor should NOT be your
#1
pick... that should be JJ
🚨 Lamar will be QB1 with a top 3 TE and a top 15 WR
NFL greats Keyshawn Johnson and Michael Irvin say that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s antics are “a lot” and are contributing to the Kansas City Chiefs' recent losses on the field. The Chiefs are America’s 2024 warning. Don’t take anything Taylor Swift says seriously.
I am seeing a lot of Justin Jefferson vs Jamar Chase talk
I think it is a split
Jefferson is the superior route technician, but Chase is the better down field threat.
Jefferson moves the sticks, Chase scores the points.
There isn't a right answer, they are both elite.
For people wondering what happened last night it's called commotio cordis
This can occur following a blunt, nonpenetrating blow to the chest.
It's so so unlikely to happen, but when it does, you need to act fast.
The medical staff last night crushed it.
Why I started
#RainbowBowl
My goal, ultimately, is to help as many young LGBTQ people as I can. I never want kids to feel how I felt. To hurt themselves mentally for so long that the damage may never be undone.
For years I leaned on
#FantasyFootball
as a way for me to hide my
I went to drag brunch today, you know what I saw?
A bunch of people laughing, celebrating, and having fun.
There was no hate, no discrimination. It was the first time I've ever gone to that kind of event, and honestly, I felt so safe.
The LGBTQ community came through again
I made a post last night about
#pridemonth2022
and the
#FantasyFootball
community.
The outpouring of support, kindness, openness, allyship, and love was overwhelming to me!
Love will always triumph!
From my boyfriend and myself, we see you, we love you, and we thank you!
"Why don't you just stick to fantasy football. That's why people follow you"
Because real life matters infinitely more.
You think I care who pays Saquon $13M?
You think I give a fuck who Aaron Rodgers throws the ball to?
You think I care about that MORE than my own life?
I'm seeing others do this and I want to as well!
If you're in
#SFB12
comment below! Meet your fellow players, give some follows, share some drafts, and just have fun!
@ScottFish24
created something incredible, a community where we all came together for a common goal!
Why haven't I posted about fantasy much this season?
- I got dumped, hard
- Spiraled into a self-hate filled depression
- LGBTQ+ people came under attack and that felt more important with my platform
- This season has been no fun for me
- I suck in my home league and that's sad
Can't wait to see what the
@Chiefs
have to say about one of their players blatantly spreading hate
Same people cheering him on are the same ones who were disgusting about
@taylorswift13
and treated her like shit
Step up and condemn hate
You see, this is why we need
#PrideMonth
this is why I continue to say
#LGBTQ
people BELONG
This is why I started
#RainbowBowl
so that dumb fucks like Harrison fucking Butker don't feel comfortable in the world anymore
We aren't going anywhere!
A few years back I posted a picture of me and my bf at the time
I got hate for it
But then, something wonderful happened and
@Stephania_ESPN
spoke out and stood up.
The community rallied around me. You showed love.
And now I get to share my love without fear
Thank you
🧡

No one likes to cry more than bigots who are called out for being bigots
"We can have a different opinion without being bad people"
Ya, about ice cream flavors... not human rights
Do you want the candidate who's aging, might not survive, but has good, smart, ethical people around him in case they are needed
Or
The candidate who will lie, cheat, sell you out. Also might not survive, and will have criminals and lunatics around him to potentially take over
Where does the fantasy final community stand in regards to Davante Adams?
I still call him a WR1, if not THE WR1 this year
Are you fading him because of the move to Vegas?
Happiest of
#Pride
to all of my
#LGBTQ
friends and allies! As the month begins remember that it's not just about rainbows, it's about belonging in a world that still fights to keep so many people down
You belong, you are beautifully necessary in this world!
💜💙🏳️🌈

Hey y'all, changed my username.
Not that it's a news worthy post, but I just want to better reflect that this is MY account.
To my fantasy football followers, I haven't forgotten you, nor will I stop tweeting football takes.
Right now, however, LGBTQ rights need my attention.
There was a point where I wanted to leave the fantasy industry all together. I was losing followers by the HUNDREDS and every time I tried to just be myself I would lose more.
Now I have started
#RainbowBowl
and it's proving that there is and will ALWAYS BE space for LGBTQ in
Would any of you have interest in a charity best ball league that helps
#LGBTQ
youth?
Comment, like, share if you're interested! I'm looking to start something that can be my way of giving back to my community!
Eggs are the biggest trap at the grocery store. You always think you'll use them, then you don't cuz who tf has time to wake up early to make fucking eggs lol
Haven't done these in a bit, but here are some TAKES
🚨 Akers is going to be top 8 this season
🚨 Michael Pittman isn't a top 20 option
🚨 Tee Higgins isn't worth his ADP
🚨 Rashod Bateman is going to be a top 20 guy with top 10 upside
🚨 No 🦁 receiver is going to be top 25
Ya I'm back tweeting, but I'm off fantasy for now as I continue to use whatever platform I have to support LGBTQ rights, people, and love.
I'll burn this account to the ground before I prioritize a game over my life and the lives of others.
I'll always fight
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈💛💙💚💜❤️
Hi, I'm Steve and I told people to start Cam Akers
I am sorry
I feel ashamed
I should be tied up with a hose, then beaten with said hose, and then thrown off the roof
Continuing to celebrate
#Pride2022
This is my first Pride since coming out and I want to thank everyone who accepted and respected me during this time
Most of my family isn't on Twitter, but I couldn't have asked for a more supportive family.
Ok, this one is going to be painful, but we'll get through it together
This is the bad ex edition of fantasy football Twitter
Who is a player you just can't quit, even though you definitely should?
Drop a gif and give your reasons!
I'll start: Laviska Shenault- ATHLETICISM
You see, this is why we need
#PrideMonth
this is why I continue to say
#LGBTQ
people BELONG
This is why I started
#RainbowBowl
so that dumb fucks like Harrison fucking Butker don't feel comfortable in the world anymore
We aren't going anywhere!
Happy
#Pride
from London to all of you!
This has been the best, most magical trip of my life and I couldn't have asked for a better man to share it with ❤️💙
A big thank you to all of you who continue to support me on this crazy app! Spread the love today and every day! 💙❤️🏳️🌈
If my Twitter friends, especially those within the fantasy football community, could share this post, or comment below with a 🏳️🌈 or any gif/picture that shows you're an ally I would be so appreciative!
For my friends, y'all know I love Moira and David Rose
Happy Pride Y'all🏳️🌈
I don't regret one single second of my relationship with him.
He taught me to love openly and freely.
This fucking sucks, but it will get better.
Be kind to yourselves, my friends. Find your happy, be the best version of yourselves.
I've been changed and I owe it to him.
Seeing all these Republicans talking about "protecting kids" from lgbtq stuff makes me sick.
I came out at 28, I knew I was gay since I was about 10. I still deal with depression and anxiety from hiding.
You want to protect kids? Love them for who they are.
🏳️🌈🌈🏳️🌈🌈
The fantasy/NFL community is toxic as fuck
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great people I've met
But holy fuck some people need to log off forever and go touch some fucking grass
I drove today from Pittsburgh to Boston... I'm very tired, but I have energy for one last
#FantasyFootball
take...
The Saints spent a 1st round pick, and signed a very good WR
They are not going to run the clock out
Jameis Winston is a sleeper QB 1
Very excited to announce I will be joining the team over at
@TripPlayFantasy
I cannot wait to continue to grow in this industry and be a part of such an amazing team!
Thank you to
@DMendy02
for this opportunity and for your unwavering support
If you think this is good parenting, then EVERY SINGLE suicide death of closeted LGBTQ+ children is on your hands.
You aren't protecting them from shit. You're a piece of human trash who cannot accept that the world is bigger than just you.
I'm aware I'm burning down a platform I worked hard to build. I don't need the messages telling me I've ruined my "brand"
I KNOW I HAVE
But that's because my brand was never worth my life or the lives of other people in this country.
So save me the lecture.
With Pride coming to an end I want to remind people of something
Being an ally isn't a part time thing. It's not one month where you support lgbtq people.
It's standing by your friends and loved ones every day. VOTING to protect them.
#Pride
might be over. We're not.
🌈🏳️🌈
Happiest 10 months of my life! I love you with all my heart, and all my organs, except the appendix, cuz fuck the appendix ❤️🔥❤️💙💚💜💛
Cole, you gave me the strength to come out and to be me. I'll never be able to thank you enough, so I hope my love will do
I'm a happy man
For those of you counting (me, it's me and only me counting)
I have officially lost 1,000 followers over the last 3 months
As sad as I am to see a platform I worked hard to build evaporate, I know that I'm building something more important now.
Let's fucking build, y'all 💙
