Back in 2019 @rkrelentless became the first active, openly bisexual NFL player. R.K. risked everything to live openly and authentically. His career, his means of supporting his mother and grandfather, and everything he had worked for. Despite this, R.K. says his upcoming book, THE YARDS BETWEEN US, is one of his "most challenging and significant accomplishments." R.K. recently penned an article for the @guardian where he talked about how NFL players that come out typically find themselves unemployed not long after. He has also spoken out against the anti-trans laws currently sweeping the U.S. We are endlessly grateful for @rkrelentless and the impact he has already had on the world of queer sports, and beyond. THE YARDS BETWEEN US is available to preorder now (link in bio) and is slated to release on May 16, 2023. Image description: The first image depicts the cover of R.K. Russell's upcoming book, THE YARDS BETWEEN US, a memoir of life, love, and football. R.K. is pictured on the cover in black and white, wearing a sweater. His shoulder-length locs are swept casually over the right side of his face. He has well-groomed facial hair and a smile that would light up a room. The remaining slides contain the text which is outlined above. @disneybooks @andscape #lgbt #lgbtq #pride #queer #lgbtqia #bi #bisexual #bipride #bisexualpride #nfl #comingout #outandproud #theyardsbetweenus #outsports #lgbtqsports #queersports #lgbtqathletes #lgbtqathlete #outathletes #Blackqueermen #Blackbisexualmen #loveislove #lovewins #gay #loveislove🌈 #lovewins🌈 #pride🌈 #bisexualpride🌈 #bipride🌈 #bipride💖💜💙
