The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding — and marketing to — the LGBT 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 is 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?
The oh, so woke commercial states: “Football is lesbian. Football is beautiful. Football is queer. Football is life. Football is exciting. Football is culture. Football is transgender. Football is queer. Football is heart. Football is power. Football is tough. Football is bisexual. Football is strong. Football is freedom. Football is American. Football is accepting. Football is everything. Football is for everyone.” (You can substitute “the NFL” for “football.”)
“Football” is pandering. Football is pathetic. Football will say or do anything to chase down the very last potential viewer/customer. I’m surprised the ad didn’t also state, “Football is Chinese.” (Maybe the NBA had already patented the last two words of that phrase.)
This ad is disturbingly mindful of parents raising their babies’ arms over their heads and cloyingly saying, “Who’s big? Billy is! Sooo big!”
“Who’s gay? The NFL! Sooo gay! Who’s queer? The NFL! Sooo queer! Who’s two-spirited? The NFL! Sooo two-spirited! Who’s pro-pangender? The NFL! Sooo pro-pangender! Who’s Muslim? The NFL! Sooo Muslim!” Etc., etc., etc.
The NFL could be called for a false start for an embarrassing attempt to make further inroads into the LGBT community. It could be called for offsides, as it clearly went where it should not have gone.
How about “NFL is dead.” They are dead because they promote Marxism. They put “Black Lives Matter” on the backs of their helmets and BLM has made no secret of their support for Marxism and the Marxist regime (not the oppressed people, including blacks) of Cuba. Like the Democrat party, if it is anti-American, the NFL seems to want to make sure everyone knows it supports it.
They can pander to gays all they want. Like those failing players who come out in order to try and used guilt to preserve their place on the team (it didn’t work in Dallas), this won’t save them. Instead of promoting divisiveness, they need to support America.
Acting “white” has allowed people of all races in the USA to thrive.
They can get and keep well-paying jobs.
They therefore can spend money on more than just the bare necessities.
Like season tickets to football games.
But the NFL is throwing those people under the bus.
The NFL is putting all its eggs in the basket of a small minority in America.
Blacks are 13%.
LGBTs are less than 2%.
We’ll soon see if going woke continues to cause orgs to go broke.
6 years ago Don pointed out that Americans hating Roger was GWB’S BFF! NFL viewers and fans have been on a 5 year decline since then!
Last 3 SB’s have been low viewers. Last year’s had the smallest viewers ever! Even with the most popular player (Brady) since Bart Starr leading his team to a wipe out! Some say, and with some truth, that it was clear by 2nd qtr Chiefs were totally outclassed! Which caused viewers to turn off game. But the opening viewers was low!
Roger no longer tries to hide his contempt for Americans!
3 years ago for SB he refused 3 pro Americans ads; but allowed 2 “Americans are bad!” NAACP adds!
2 years ago when asked about the big decline in attendance he said, “So what! By 2022 NFL will play half it games outside America!”!
You can still see a lot of Empty Seats in the Stadium every time they broadcast a game your going to see more empty seats when Fall comes
In Chi., the Bears want to build a $ 2+ billion stadium in one of the upper class suburbs. the lesbian, hiv positive socialist/marxist, married to a “cracker” mayor has indicated that there is a multi-million dollar clause that if they relocate, they have a fine to pay. Ok: new $ 2+ billion, who is going to cut the paper for this “iffy” stadium as revenues fall; nfl is middle class America not the elite in warm, beverage, food filled suites, with private parking; Bears last one a title in 1986 when they beat the Patriots 46-10, recall Refrigerator Perry making a touchdown; who is going to drive to the “burg” for inflated food, parking and very high priced tickets; lastly, any of the potential burg for a stadium will demand tax and revenue abbatments and incentives-another loosing element.
the nfl is dead, the marxist leadership has sought to destroy it.
Recall the major premises of marxism: dismantle, disrupt, and destroy. mainstream media, social media, the public educational system, university and colleges, middle and high schools, federal agencies have become the vessels of marxist ideology bent on the destruction of America, Western tradition and history specifically Judeo-Christian values.
A $2 billion stadium in Chicagastan? Does that price include a “green zone” where the hotels are located and armored buses to carry spectators to the stadium? Of course, as long as they are spending someone else’s money, they’ll build the stadium, but until that city has a government that will face the truth about the cause of their crime and DEAL with it, who would invest there?
