he is saying that nassib is tearing down a wall. do you agree with that?i think the construction of that wall and the tearing down of that wall is still a work in progress. remember, this is the off-season. and so we still need to go through training camp. we still need to go through regular season. he still needs to go on the road, play games. he still needs to be a part of games in which the raiders lose. and fans may be responding to that loss in a different way. i'm not trying to downplay the importance of this. i'm trying to put it in context. that this was an announcement, it was very important. i was very emotional. but i also knothw at beyond just getting through the door is staying in the building. and so now we have to help him, be supportive, so that he stays there, now that he has open the door and says he is here. >> nawaz: l.z., when you look at the country, lgbtq identification is up, 5.6% of all american adults, when you compare that to where attitudes are in the sports world, where are they? >> it depends on which gender you're referring t
