New List Reveals Which NFL Teams Have NOT Posted About ‘Pride Month’ Yet On Social Media
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Every year, the NFL celebrates Pride Month with various leaguewide and localized initiatives to support the LGBTQ+ community. These efforts often include social media campaigns, community outreach programs, and the sale of official merchandise.
On June 1st, many teams wasted little time showing their support for the LGBTQ community. Not everybody is happy about this.
Earlier this year, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson supported former Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey. This was after he was released following his rant against the NBA’s Pride Month. Ivey posted his rant on social media, saying it was “unrighteousness” that the league would celebrate Pride Month. Henderson responded to news of his release with a Bible passage.
If Ivey didn’t like the NBA doing it, he certainly is upset with several NF teams doing the same thing.
Which NFL Teams Have Not Celebrated Pride Month
On Monday, almost half the league decided to recognize Pride Month. A lot of them decided to stay out of it. 11 NFL teams have not posted about so far.
They include:
- Dallas Cowboys
- Los Angeles Rams
- New Orleans Saints
- New York Giants
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Cleveland Browns
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Las Vegas Raiders
- New York Jets
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Tennessee Titans
Some of the teams that have recognized Pride Month include the Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Commanders, Ravens, Texans, Colts, Jags, Falcons, Bears, Packers, and Vikings.
The NFL does not formally celebrate Pride Month during the regular season because the league’s season takes place months later. Instead, the league and individual teams mark the occasion during the offseason. No matter how far we progress, this will always be one of those hot-button topics among fans.
Should the day come when teams change that during the season, you could expect all hell to break loose.
