As Pride Month comes to a close, the NFL has released a new commercial that makes clear its support and embrace of the LGBTQ+ community. The 30-second spot begins with the line, "Football is gay" as light cheering plays in the background.
"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."

Thanks NFL. You found a way to make me feel ashamed that I played football.

What they are really saying beyond their virtue signaling is that NFL football is for everyone who can pay their price.

What could be more all-American than two strange men hooking up in a random toilet stall somewhere? The commies made good on agenda item #37 from 1963, "Infiltrate and gain control of big business." A basic tenet of marketing is never to offend your customer or you risk losing them for good, but we're so thoroughly and unapologetically Marxist now that there's nowhere to turn.

People watch football for football. Not who the players are having sex with. Throw the ball, jump on each other, win the game, then go home and do whatever you want with whoever you want. Leave the players sex lives out of the NFL and the fans lives. 99.99999% of the people do not care.

Here's where we are. Just a few years ago, the argument was, Hey, they just want to be like you. Married and it's a private thing, just like you. It has nothing to do with you. Just leave them alone and let them be happy. Now you better d*mn well celebrate who they are or you're just another bigot.

Football is boring, football is pointless, football is a waste of time, football is a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries [but the victims are so stupid nobody really notices], football is a marketing scheme to peddle useless trash to idiots, football is a diversion for low IQ morons to ignore and neglect their families, football is a career path for overgrown/overpaid freaks and criminals....

So they support the 3% of real homosexuals in this country, but don't give a damn about the 97% of normal people.
That, folks, in the very definition of insanity -- and their crashed and burned ratings just prove it!!! And just one of many reasons that I watched my last down of the NFL 5 years ago and will never watch them again!!!

Haven't watched in years. No plans to do so in the future so don't really care. The gays demand we celebrate and encourage their lifestyle. Won't happen except for the suck-ups (pun maybe intended) in the media and woke corporations. Most people are live and let live until the woke crowd tries to shove it down their throats. The gay lobby then loses normally nice and unbigoted fans or turns them into anti-guy people. Sometimes the love that dare not speak its name had best shut up. Their antics are creating ill will. They used to say that they just wanted to be left alone but now it's the rest of us who want to be left alone.

Football is not ‘gay’. Football is a sport where whiney assed overpaid athletes are supposed to be entertaining. They assume they have far more social importance than they do. Either perform for the crowds that pay for you or go join BLM, Antifa, or some gay rights group who will love you but not pay you. Your choice. Either disappear or shut up and dance.

Could I please watch something without being told the race, feelings about the USA, and/or sexual preference of the participants. I wish all mankind well, I have little interest in anyone’s private life and I like to relax sometimes. None of this is possible anymore.

Gosh, I always thought football was pretty macho. But, I guess what goes on in the locker room stays in the locker room. Or at least I hope it does. I hope it was worth it to pander to the very small percentage of Americans who are gay, by alienating the guys who like macho football and the women who like to look at all those macho guys.

Many years ago when I was in high school, I met several of the Redskins players at an off-season charity basketball game.
Charlie Taylor, Ron McDole, and several others. They were good guys, people that a young person could look up to.
It helped me become a Redskins fan, and I watched them or listened to the games on the radio all season.
More recently, I see lots of dreadlocks hanging out of NFL helmets, these people look like Thugs, like the 'Uruk-Hai' from the Lord of the Rings movies.
Also more and more NFL players were in the news for the wrong reasons (Michael Vick and his Dog-Fighting club, anyone?)
The NFL appeared to overlook any criminal behavior of its players/employees/performance cast members, as long as they brought in the CA$H, and in so doing ceased being the National Football League, and morphed into the National Felons League.
More recently the Crapernick and kneeling trash has shown that many of the NFL cast members are unpatriotic ingrates, and the administration is evil, corrupt, weak, or all three.
I would have thought that the drop in viewership would send this entertainment company a message, that when you insult your audience, they leave, and they take their CA$H with them. Nope,,,,, the National Felons League found that it has No Fans Left.
Now with this week's stupidity, they have become the National Fairy League.
Where can I turn?
I'll tell ya 'where I can turn', or 'What I can turn'.
I can Turn it OFF... for GOOD!
Hey NFL, watch THIS!
'CLICK!'
