    NFL to Air 'National Coming Out Day' PSA During Sunday Night Football

    The NFL is set to celebrate the LGBTQ community's "National Coming Out Day" during its Sunday Night Football broadcast this weekend.

    The campaign, labeled "It Takes All Of Us," will feature a 30-second video starring openly gay or bisexual NFL players including Ryan O'Callaghan, Jeff Rohrer, R.K. Russell, and Wade Davis. The ad encourages gays to come out and be proud of their sexual proclivities, according to CNN.

    The video starts with the aforementioned players saying, "To all current players who are thinking of coming out, when you are ready, so are we."

    The ad then segues to other players offering their support and saying, "It takes all of us, and you deserve to be all you." The supportive players include Rob Gronkowski, DeAndre Hopkins, and Calais Campbell.

    "There has never been a single active player that has come out. While I'm sure I've played with LGBTQ+ players — highly skilled, athletic, and effective at their jobs — they did not come out. But they were my teammates and part of the larger NFL family," NFL Executive Vice President Troy Vincent said of the campaign.

    Vincent added that the league's goal is to support all 1,696 players.

    "Anyone in the player community who may be considering coming out, know this — I am committed to serving as a conduit to help you through that journey — either myself, in collaboration with my teammates at the league office, or through the many organizations with whom we partner on LGBTQ+ issues. We have no way of knowing if an active NFL player would choose to come out or what they might experience. What I do know is that I am committed to celebrate, support, and welcome them," Vincent said.

    The NFL will sponsor the "It Takes All Of Us" campaign for the rest of the season. In conjunction with the campaign, all NFL fields will feature end zone stenciling reading "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism."

    I went to tune-in to KIRO 97.3 FM on Friday to listen to Dori Monson's weekly interview with head coach Pete Carrol of the Seattle Seahawks and Dori was not there. I've listened to his show for years. He is a Christian and holds to conservative family values, and often confronts ungodly issues on his show that other broadcasters would not touch. He has made a lot of enemies over the years, and has been a "thorn in the side" to the liberal and immoral Seattle Mayor and city council members, besides Governor Jay Inslee and his cronies in Olympia, WA. Dori is outspoken and speaks the truth regardless if it is politically correct or not. There are many state politicians here that have tried unsuccessfully to get Dori of the public air waves. Well they finally got their wish last week when Dori made a tweet that got him in "Hot Water."

    What he tweeted can be found here: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/...sphobic-tweet/

    The gay community hates Dori here in Seattle too, and he would never bow to their demands found in the second link above.

    I know Dori has a lot of support here in Washington state amongst his many enemies so this will be a "hot issue" to watch over the next couple of weeks to see how all this pans out.

    They just keep shooting themselves in foot don't they? If they think the fans who have left are coming back, most are not. That's like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube once it's been squeezed out

    This sounds so contrived, I'm sure the cast is ready to go.

    Nothing transphobic about it. It's just the truth.

    They lost me. I was watching a game here or there when it was all about liberal politics but now they have crossed the line into righteous conviction. Some of us are sick of having this garbage rammed down our throat.

    You know I noticed that the players have been wearing these multi=colored baseball caps the past few weeks. I wonder if this has anything to do with that. They call them 'New Era' hats.

    They need the LGBQRSTUV movement money and quickly lest the ultra rich team owners lose a few dollars.

    [QUOTE=fuego;115209]You know I noticed that the players have been wearing these multi=colored baseball caps the past few weeks. I wonder if this has anything to do with that. The multi-colored hats seem to be a part of a promotion about cancer called Crucial Catch.
