The NFL’s Pride Month Problem: A Lack of Support from Teams Like the Kansas City Chiefs

The NFL’s Pride Month celebrations have been marred by the lack of support from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, who have failed to publicly acknowledge the commemorative month. This lack of support is particularly disappointing given the NFL’s commitment to inclusion and diversity.

The Kansas City Chiefs, led by kicker Harrison Butker, have been criticized for their lack of support for the LGBTQ+ community. Butker has been vocal about his opposition to Pride Month, calling it “sinful” in a recent graduation speech. His comments have been widely criticized, with many calling for him to be axed from the team.

“Harrison Butker doesn’t represent Kansas City nor has he ever. Kansas City has always been a place that welcomes, affirms and embraces our LGBTQ+ community members.” - Justice Horn, former chairman of the Kansas City LGBTQ Commission

The NFL has distanced itself from Butker’s comments, stating that they do not reflect the views of the organization. However, the lack of support from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs undermines the NFL’s commitment to inclusion and diversity.

Other teams, such as the Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, and Tennessee Titans, have also failed to publicly acknowledge Pride Month. This lack of support is particularly disappointing given the NFL’s commitment to inclusion and diversity.

The NFL has made an effort to stand with LGBTQ+ fans, but the lack of support from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs undermines this effort. It is time for teams to take a stand and show their support for the LGBTQ+ community.

NFL teams must show their support for Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ community.
