Since the age of 13, and being raised in the northeast, I was an unabashed and unapologetic Pittsburgh Steelers football fan, having starting to watch during the dynasty years of the 1970’s. Though my love of football faded some after getting saved, I still enjoyed watching the games from time to time. Time, for me, ran out when the NFL started supporting the politics of Colin Kaepernick leading all the way up to blatant disrespect for our National Anthem and flag. I didn’t watch one minute of one game in 2020, but to be honest, I was holding out hope the NFL would recover itself in the fourth quarter. They didn’t, they fumbled on the 10-yard line and the clock officially ran out for me and the NFL.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1,2 (KJB)
Now today the NFL has tripled-down on their political correctness and divisive Leftist pandering with a new spot called ‘Football Is Gay’ designed to virtual signal their need to be accepted by less than 3% of the population. Football is not gay, it’s a sport that has always been played by heterosexual and homosexual people, that’s no secret. But when you replace the purpose of football, which is to spend 4 quarters kicking and throwing a pigskin football through the uprights, with the radical agenda of the far Left, it cancels itself and becomes meaningless.
I made a trip to Goodwill this morning with a huge bag of Steelers t-shirts and jerseys, tomorrow I will make a second trip and finish the job. Football is not gay, bisexual or transgender, far from it. Football is dead, and I couldn’t care less what happens now. Football is no longer a game, it’s a political weapon designed to enact an agenda.
FROM TMZ: The clip, which is 30 seconds in length, added, “Football is lesbian. Football is beautiful. Football is queer. Football is life.” The messages didn’t stop there … they even went on to say, “Football is transgender” and “Football is bisexual” — before the video ended with, “Football is for everyone.”
A league spokesperson confirmed to Outsports on Monday the video was a direct response to Las Vegas Raiders pass-rusher Carl Nassib announcing he’s gay last week.
“I AM PROUD OF THE CLEAR MESSAGE THIS SPOT SENDS TO THE NFL’S LGBTQ+ FANS: THIS GAME IS UNQUESTIONABLY FOR YOU,” ANOTHER REP FOR THE LEAGUE, NFL DIVERSITY DIRECTOR SAM RAPOPORT, ADDED TO OUTSPORTS. “I WILL BE PLAYING ITS FIRST LINE OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD ALL SEASON.”
As part of the video message, the NFL once again encouraged people to donate to The Trevor Project — an org. established to try to help prevent suicides in the LGBTQ+ community. Nassib said last week he was donating $100K to the organization during his video announcement … and the NFL quickly followed suit matching the donation hours later.
“NFL proudly supports The Trevor Project,” the league said in Monday’s video. “LGBTQ+ youth with at least one accepting adult have 40% lower risk of attempting suicide.”
The video is just the latest positive response to Nassib’s announcement … you’ll recall, players from all over the league have publicly voiced their support for the 28-year-old — and even President Joe Biden praised the football player as well
Kneeling for the anthem, and now kneeling for each other. They don’t really know their audience, do they.
You and me both! I used to keep football on the TV in the background while I worked around the house, or on paperwork. Not anymore and I love the fact that I am no longer wasting that much time on a bunch of over-hyped crap.
I owe the Wokesters a debt of gratitude! I have also stopped watching as much TV period. No more faggots and perverts on The CW, or even the libcrap on the NCIS and SUV type shows. I listen to music more and read books and I feel a lot better.
I even swore off FOXNews during the last election.
Evil is getting stronger and showing up most everywhere and in many ways.
Now the NFL needs to endorse a soap their gay players can drop in the locker room shower.
Nothing happy about the NFL.
“Suck up to the 3-5 percent of the population, and tell the rest to GFY.”
You can bet that the NFL and other organizations believe that these messages now appeal to a significant majority of Americans. Why else would they do it?
Well, when VinnyMac had it, they promised none of the ‘woke crap’ would be allowed on or off the field. Respecting the flag and the Anthem, and not allowing political or social statements.
Would Johnson do the same? I don’t know. If the crap is allowed, then I will have to completely drop football forever. There will be no sports left that I can support.
Dwayne Johnson better take note that XFL took Vince from billionaire to a mere millionaire for a while so he better have more investors on board - or watch his earnings from "The Scorpion King" to "Fast Furious VS. Jason in Space" go down the tubes. Meanwhile the WNBA continues on apparently fueled by some alternate space/time source of income.
Does anyone know what became of "He Hate Me"? That dude was great and his interviews were pure wrestling promos.
“He Hate Me” real name is Rod Smart, actually made it to the Super Bowl as a member of the Carolina Panthers.
Suck-erberg.
Football is Gay now, is it?
Not that there’s not EVERY SINGLE THING WRONG with that!!!!
Football already was “gay” once the players started spending the majority of their time on their knees.
My favorite quote about that was when the Dallas team first took a knee. The quote was “I haven’t seen so many kneeling cowboys since Brokeback Mountain.
