"My truth is that I'm a talented football player, a damn good writer, a loving son, an overbearing brother, a caring friend, a loyal lover, and a bisexual man."
Former Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Ryan Russell just announced he's bisexual ... and says his motivation for revealing his sexual identity is that he's flat-out tired of hiding it.
The 27-year-old -- who was a Cowboys' fifth-round pick back in 2015 -- is currently an NFL free agent ... and says his last job interview with a team made him realize he needed to make his sexual preferences public.
"Out of love, admiration and respect, I want the next team to sign me valuing me for what I do and knowing who I truly am."

Theres quite a few gay dudes in sports and its about 50/50 that the teammates already know about it because they told them. They arent in the closet with their team, theyre in the closet with everyone else a amount of the time.
