“Football” is pandering. Football is pathetic. Football will say or do anything to chase down the very last potential viewer/customer.
The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding -- and marketing to — the LGBTQ Community during Pride Month in June. It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that “football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting.”
The ad begins by stating “football is gay” to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I’m not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.)

If you love this game, you are welcome here. Football is for all. Football is for everyone.
The NFL stands by the LGBTQ+ community today and every day.

The ad is in part a direct response to Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive end Carl Nassib’s recent announcement that he was gay, a league spokesperson said. It is titled, “Football is for everyone,” and is intended to “send a strong message of acceptance from the league to fans and players,” reports Outsports. What will the league look like a few years from now?

Dick Butkus. That name takes on an unfortunate meaning with today’s NFL.
Pushing 70, yet I have never understood the allure of pro sports. Seems I was right to live a full life; not vicariously.
Football is dead.
I can dig this. It’s almost as gay as men’s figure skating, or interior decorating.
How about woke NFL is dead to me
Will the next ad proudly describe the sex acts that NFL football engages in?
Maybe it’s just me....but this starts to sound an awful lot like professional wrestling and scripted ‘evolutions’ to get people enticed to view for non-football reasons.
Wrong! The NFL sure as hell ain't for me! That's a shame because I'm saddened by the fact that I'll be missing so many ads for Porsche,Mediterranean cruises,expensive wines and Rolex watches.
When you have shot yourself in one foot, go ahead and blast a whole in the other …
95% of men are not gay, 96%of women are not lesbian.
And 86% of Americans are not black.
Negro Faggot League, GFY.
OK. But, what about the other 98.5% of the people that are straight and dull?
Why do you have to be queer to be exciting?
Were Grace Kelly and Cary Grant cast as lovers in "To Catch A Thief" dull and boring?
The thought of linda grahamnesty cuddling with john mcpain turns my stomach and they call that exciting?
A few years ago, “Football is gay” would have been seen as an insult.
Well, here’s one person they won’t be attracting with this campaign.
Gee...it’s almost like they are trying to kill their brand. And maybe they are. Lots of Libs think football (and many sports) are too manly.
It wasn’t. But it is becoming that with Woke. I stopped watching all Professional sports.
I think you may be right.
Maybe it’s like that movie, “The Producers”. It’s got to be a big flop, to grab what you’ve got and leave. Starting to look an awful lot like, “Springtime for Hitler, and Germany.”
lol
football was always gay.
