9 NFL Teams Decline ‘Pride’ Messaging
We are into the month of June now, and as per social customs these days, many corporate entities and sports teams have changed their social media handles to celebrate “Pride month” regardless of how their customer or fanbases feel about it.
But this year, nine teams in the NFL have chosen not to celebrate on social media what people do sexually and stick to sports, like much of the fanbases want.

Here are the nine teams staying away from pride messaging so far this month:
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Cleveland Browns
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Tennessee Titans
- Kansas City Chiefs (current Super Bowl champions)
- Denver Broncos
- Dallas Cowboys
- New Orleans Saints
- Atlanta Falcons
After the original reporting of the group of NFL teams not participating this messaging, the Green Bay Packers made a pride month post with comments disabled, knowing what was waiting for them in the comments section.
To be clear, this doesn’t mean the organizations are opposed to the events taking place across the country this month, they simply have not formally endorsed them, yet.
As reported by Fox News:
It is clear that many within the NFL–and society–don’t like pride month for varying reasons. Some people don’t abide with or agree with the gay lifestyle or agenda.
And some, while having no issues with gay people whatsoever, simply don’t like pride month being so ubiquitous, as if being shoved down people’s throats. These people would recoil if, say, a month-long puppy or a straight people celebration was shoved down their throats every year, too.
While teams and players in major sports leagues such as the NFL and NHL have begun speaking out against these celebrations of sexuality and gender, there are still many who look to implement these events into every area of society and lifestyle.
For Christians, it really is as simple as the word of Paul in Romans 12:2, saying: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
