(Minnesota) Vikings Hold First Sports LGBTQ Summit
KSTP-TV (ABC Affiliate in Minneapolis-St Paul) ^ | 6/21/18

The Minnesota Vikings made history on Thursday. Vikings players, coaches and members of the LGBTQ community came together for a first of its kind inclusion summit held by an NFL team.

The LGBTQ summit and fundraising event was held at the TCO Performance Center Auditorium in Eagan.

It centered around bridging the gap between the LGBTQ community and sports.

In front of a packed crowd, former and current LGBTQ athletes shared stories about how they were criticized for who they loved while playing the sport they love.

The event featured four panel discussions. Each one about an hour long.

Why infect the game with politics?

To destroy it.

Idiots.

How many of those, esp ghetto players, you think were “in favor” of this?

LOL...there’s a reason so few have dared “come out” They know they’re not welcomed in locker rooms

Except at Target

Sorry, but the NFL lost me when they initiated unrestricted free agency. It is hard to watch “your guys” willingly join the enemy.

I stick to college and minor league sports these days.

How many of those, esp ghetto players, you think were “in favor” of this? Precious few! And I suspect there aren't a lot of white and otherwise "non-ghetto" players who favor it. This is obviously a lamebrained attempt by the owners (and their leftwing marketing geniuses) to curry favor with . . . someone, but not their fans.

Always wondered why there is so much @zz slapping in the end zone. Lotsa hugs, too. Just saying.

Anyway, the NFL continues to dig its own grave. Revenue figures at the end of this season should be eye-opening.

The NFL can get away with its behavior because it is an absolute monopoly. Even near monopolies like airlines, credit card companies, and cable companies don’t insult their customers. Companies in highly competitive sectors, like retail, absolutely cannot insult their customers. The customer will switch to a competitor instantly and let their friends know about it.

FOUR HOURS of it! How could anybody torture themselves for that long?

Try imagining a gay QB.

Coach: You need to throw the ball by the count of three or big burly men will sack you and crush you.

QB: Well thats it then, this ball is NOT getting thrown.

I think I agree with you. IMO, the NFL’s decline began when they started trying to jazz things up and be more than football. Cheerleaders, the stupid breast cancer awareness month with everyone wearing pink, gal announcers on the sidelines, football players forced to serve able-bodied people Thanksgiving meals as a form of “giving back”, and all the other causes and foundations they promote and support. It’s football, not a social services agency.

This story makes sense. They’ve been crying like little girls since getting beaten by the Eagles in the NFL championship so an LGBTQXYZ summit is a good chance to really revel in that girl power.

I don’t watch sports to hear politics and culture wars from a bunch of LGBTQIDIOTs. Now that there’s little choice, I spend less and less time watching sports at all each year.
