In recent years, the NFL has made a concerted effort to show its unwavering support of the LGBTQ community. And don't expect that to stop anytime soon.
It started in April 2017 when the NFL hosted an LGBTQ Pride discussion panel at its New York City headquarters. That event marked the official launch of the league's LGBTQ employee affinity group, NFL Pride. About 150 people — including commissioner Roger Goodell — sat and listened as openly gay former professional athletes discussed steps the league could take to be more inclusive for the gay community.
In an exclusive interview with Outsports in honor of this year's Pride Month, Goodell explained why the cause is so special to him.
"One of the most important jobs I have as commissioner is to listen," Goodell said. "That day, we were forming our Pride employee resource group, so I wanted to show my support for our staff and engage with panelists like NFL Legend Ryan O’Callaghan."
Since that panel discussion, the NFL has boosted its outreach efforts every year. In addition to encouraging its teams to participate in Pride Month initiatives each June, the league partnered with GLAAD to host a "Night of Pride" at this year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Goodell & Co. also hold an annual Pride Flag Football Clinic at the Super Bowl Experience, and multiple teams have announced partnerships with the National Gay Flag Football League (NGFFL).
"Our Super Bowl Night of Pride events with GLAAD have been powerful," Goodell said. "Creating a space for the LGBTQ community and allies during our biggest week sends a message that we value inclusion and opportunity for all."

Where are all the women pretending to be men beating NFL linebackers?
Why doesn’t this moron reach out to inner city youth football players? They need more outreach than gay people . Football is not a homo sport. Not yet anyways. I refuse to watch the NFL because of Goodall and his agenda. I hope the league crashes and burns.
After that happens will anybody still be watching?
Stop watching the Nazi Felon Leftists.
His daddy was a liberal “Republican” senator from New York.
Why not? The left loves this, and all those “freedom loving patriotic conservatives” continue fork over $$$ and eyeballs to this bilge. Unless people on the right refuse to watch, this will continue.
Lenin said it best:
“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them”
In this case the football fans are subsidizing people who hate them.
“ There was a time when diversity sounded like a good word and something to strive for.”
Diversity, synonymous with inclusion, means the more advanced cultures, out of guilt, need to subsidize and excuse the other ones.
Yup—imagine telling Da Vinci or Edison they needed “diversity” in their operations.
Lol.
YOU WIN POST OF THE DAY
LOL...Yay!!!!!
Goodell is one reason I have been boycotting the NFL.
The man is raw evil.
He is disgusting.
*********
Wish all Republicans were boycotting. Unlike high-school sports, professional sports is not a character builder for young people. It’s making the wrong people rich.
Can the NFL truly be diverse without several players who are female-to-male? What’s Goodell waiting for?
This is just the latest reason to keep doing what I was doing already.
Commish Goondull has a very steep learning curve.
Just what football needs: More faggotry. LOL
As William Burroughs used to say, “Young boys need it special.” I’m sure Goodell would approve.
There's a lot of evil with a lot of (evil) $$$ right now...
'guy's probably worth hundreds of million's...it's never enough for these folks.
They reach a certain level of wealth, they turn into parasites...it's not need, it's the insatiable/blood thirsty addiction to devour more.
Very prevalent in our society right now...very dangerous to our Republic, as they hold power in media/academia/government...aka, they make policy, feed our kids gruel(evil=good/good=evil), set the narratives to hide their activities(corruption)...
...they'll continue to devour until they(and us) are all gone.
...then the last parasite standing dies of starvation.
The NFL is not a nonprofit, tax them.
