Combating Bullying — with former Beaver, NFL defensive tackle and LGBTQ advocate Esera Tuaolo

He says that culture is changing. Since coming out publicly after retiring from the league, he’s been a vocal advocate working to ensure that future LGBTQ athletes are welcomed and respected. His nonprofit, Hate is Wrong, aims to end homophobic bullying and foster greater diversity and inclusion in sports.
