There’s a very simple fact in life: normal people want to enjoy things without some political agenda being shoved down their throats.
If I go to McDonald’s, I don’t want to hear leftists whine about how the company supports a foreign nation they don’t like.
If I drive my car, I don’t need climate zealots screeching about how a three-minute trip to CVS is going to kill the polar bears.
And by all that is good, if I want to watch some American football, I absolutely do not want homosexuals shoved in my face so the team can fit their marketing quota for “pride month.”
Every year when June rolls around, every company throws out the most generic and invasive possible ads for “pride month” that have absolutely nothing to do with the company the advertisement represents.
Of course, 2024 is not going to be an exception.
The Arizona Cardinals wasted no time this year, putting out an Instagram post with the LGBT rainbow alongside the caption, “Football is for everyone. Happy Pride Month.”
Another safe little ad so they can remind leftists throughout America that they love homosexuals and that they should be marked safe from cancel campaigns.
But what the Cardinals may not have expected is how many individuals are beginning to get incredibly frustrated with LGBT values being forced into places they don’t belong.
“This is embarrassing,” one commenter said.
“Sad world we live in. These poor children shouldn’t be knowing what this is,” another user noted.
“Thanks for the reminder Cardinals that I need to cancel my season tickets,” a possibly former fan wrote.
“As a Cardinals fan I lost respect for the team,” replied another annoyed onlooker.
While of course some comments on the post were thrilled with having LGBT values forcibly pushed into football, the vast majority of comments were negative.
Should the NFL stop celebrating “pride month”?
And why shouldn’t they be?
“Pride month” has absolutely nothing to do with football.
Imagine if every NFL team made a post about how they supported Israel and condemned Palestine and Hamas.
Leftists would be up in arms, gathered outside headquarters with pitchforks and torches, repeating actions similar to what they’ve done on college campuses.
But because this ad celebrates what they happen to like, it’s A-OK.
The Cardinals and the NFL as a whole, not to mention almost every major institution in American life, are taking sides on issues they really shouldn’t be.
The simple reality is football should be about football. Keep everything else out.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
The Western Journal
