NFL Adds Wokeness to Super Bowl Week, Announces LGBT-Themed 'Night of Pride'
The Western Journal ^ | Jan 23, 2024 | Johnathan Jones

Football is one of the few sports that Americans can enjoy that has no presence in June, which frees the NFL from turning away fans who do not want the LGBT agenda shoved in their face.

Given that the LGBT lobby has claimed the entire month for itself, other sports that operate throughout those 30 days might feel pressure to make something of “pride” month -- and they do.

The NFL, an August to February sport, could easily avoid the negative feedback from fans but has decided to go another route.

The league announced Monday it will host an event with GLAAD (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) during Super Bowl week next month in Las Vegas.

Apparently league officials believe nothing goes better with smash-mouth football than rainbows. Since the NFL’s obsession with Taylor Swift apparently isn’t gay enough, the league announced in a news release it is all-in on celebrating “pride” and will be washing that down with vodka in Sin City.

The NFL said in a statement: “The National Football League (NFL) will host the third annual A Night of Pride with GLAAD presented by Smirnoff during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, NV on Wednesday, February 7. The event will feature a special live performance with singer-songwriter VINCINT.

In marketing they call it “reinforcement” of the brand.

The NFL keeps reminding me why I am boycotting them!

Just another discrediting of an American institution by making it disgusting to participate.

In addition to the black national anthem to be sang during the game.

Just occurred to me that maybe the NFL will use its officiating to ensure a 49’s win, nothing say gayness like San Francisco.

“Another reason to not watch the NFL.”

Anyone conservative or faithful who still supports this scam is a block head.

Add my name to those who show a surprising paucity of interest in the fortunes of NFL. I already was not an enthusiast, now that lack of enthusiasm is gone up exponentially.

May they wither and rot on the vine.

I don’t understand the Pride thing. What’s to be prideful of being a mental defective, cross dressing, rainbow bag o’ fag?

You should take pride in one fellow’s desire to pop another dude from behind? It should be renamed Gay Shame Day.

Obama’s smelly ass fingers are behind this.

Early on, he said that he wanted to make the NFL (and black community) more queer. Prior to Barry Soetoro coming on the scene, black men were loath to embrace the fag culture. Now look at it. /spit

I have watched one Super Bowl in the past 30 years, some of that was due to work commitments but otherwise lack of interest. I don’t follow the NFL and would struggle to name ten current players. As a kid in the 70s, the sport was magnetic. But as far as today’s game, while I enjoy reading the business side of sports and how it relates to community and political issues, I will make a prediction that the Super Bowl will garner one of the highest, if not the highest, ratings ever. Sports betting keeps this entity afloat. But the added presence of Taylor Swift, if her man’s team makes the title game, will have a string of followers and supporters. The NFL and IIRC the NBA both bragged about major increases in female viewers in the past couple of years as well. Unless a woman is conservative, chances are she won’t care about homosexual references. I see that in hockey where that sport promotes the gay agenda and the female support is growing.

Pride is an opposite of Shame, which is what they really feel.

Leftism is a construct of oxymorons designed to break down the mind.

Amazing. This is a problem emanating from every public school in this Nation. This isn’t going to end soon, look at what one Washington State High School promoted…allowing children to attend public schools today is akin to severe child abuse.
