Dez Bryant Goes After The NFL For Promoting The LGBTQ+ Community

Dez Bryant is going hard at the NFL for supporting the LGBTQ+ community. He’s criticizing the league for “pushing gay agenda” and it’s sparked debate on the internet.

Now, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, but it’s always interesting to see how these controversial topics play out in the world of sports. Some people are cheering Dez on for speaking his mind, while others are calling him out for being insensitive.

The controversy stems from a Pride Month post made on the NFL’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, which included a series of statements affirming the sport’s inclusivity.

“Football is gay,” “football is lesbian,” “football is beautiful,” “football is queer,” “football is exciting,” “football is transgender,” “football is bisexual,” “football is power,” “football is American,” “football is accepting,” and “football is everything,” the message read.

Bryant, who played eight seasons with the Cowboys and has remained vocal on social and cultural issues, responded with his own post expressing discomfort with the language used.

“Football is gay. Football is queer. Football is transgender… these are wild statements to make… excuse my silliness,” Bryant wrote, questioning the NFL’s decision to associate the sport so directly with sexual and gender identities.

He clarified that his stance is not rooted in hatred or intolerance toward the LGBTQ+ community but rather concern over messaging.

“I’m going to proudly tell my boys football is none of these things. I have nothing against Gays but this is far from right,” he continued. Bryant also pointed to what he sees as an overreach, particularly when considering younger audiences.

“It’s gay players in the NFL… but forcing it in people’s faces… especially children… can send the wrong message… Football is a real community, like the gay community. Imagine telling gays they have to advocate for straight people… they probably would have a problem.”

Whether you agree with him or not, it’s definitely stirring up some heated discussions online. Looks like this heat isn’t cooling anytime soon and we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.
