Combating Bullying — with former Beaver, NFL defensive tackle and LGBTQ advocate Esera Tuaolo
A culture of derogatory locker room talk led former Beaver and NFL defensive tackle, Esera Tuaolo, to keep parts of his life hidden during a nine season pro football career. 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.
