    Washington Football will be 1st NFL team to host official Pride Night at a game



    The Washington Football Team welcomes the LGBTQ community for Thursday Night Football.

    The Washington Football Team this Thursday will be the first NFL team to host an official LGBTQ Pride Night at a game when the club hosts the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football.

    Teams from every other major professional sports league in America have already hosted an official Pride Night during a game. In part because NFL teams host so few games — only eight during the regular season — and because so many NFL teams sell out every game, few of them have had a Pride Night on the radar.

    The Pride Night Out has come as Team DC completes its circle of pro LGBTQ nights in the Washington, D.C. area, having already hosted similar events with the Washington Nationals, Washington Mystics, DC United and others.


    “It completes the full cycle for our pro teams for the pride night out series,” said Team DC executive director Brent Minor. “This was the one still standing outside the party room. For us, it’s good to now have a complete set. It’s an acknowledgement that there has been change.”

      Yeesh...I don't have anything against gay pride, but I just don't like it being advertised everywhere like in TV shows and movies etc...guess I'm free not to attend, but I'm also free to say it's pretty annoying to have to discuss these things when I don't want to have anything to do with it...oh well...

                    First the football team, now gay night; WTF happened to the greatest franchise in sports? If I were in DC, I'd wear my Straight Pride shirt to the game.

                        Redskins have become the fruity woke team of the league now.

                        If I were a long time Skins fan I'd be embarrassed to say I still support this team and franchise.

                          Can't. Straight pride is a hate crime.

                            NFL has become a political woke clown show. BLM, LBGTQ, KNEELING, BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM, ETC.. What next will the players be forced to wear skirts and dresses with single numbers instead of the normal uniforms over their pads?

                            What ever happen to just playing the game of football and leaving all the politics, gay and race stuff out of it?

                            WOKE!!!

                              I think it's a good thing, as is support for military veterans, breast cancer awareness, and Hispanic heritage. It doesn't need to be done often but it lets everyone where the NFL stands on equality and social issues.

                                                          You haven’t seen gay yet till you’ve seen Jibby riding his bike in spandex. Thing has a basket and bell on front handle bars.

                                                              What exactly are they doing here? The other stuff is players wearing pink, coaches in camo hats, things like that? This is more geared towards fans isn’t it?
