In the final days of the holy Pride Month, the National Football League told the world: “Football is gay.”
The message came in a pro-gay ad released by the macho sports league. The ad also said that: “Football is lesbian;” “Football is queer;” “Football is transgender; “Football is bisexual;” “Football is American;” and “Football is for everyone.” It ended with the NFL in the new pride colors that include black and brown. (Because POC are apparently their own sexual orientation.) The ad came out shortly after Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib announced he was gay, becoming the first active player to come out of the closet.
If you love this game, you are welcome here. Football is for all. Football is for everyone.
The NFL stands by the LGBTQ+ community today and every day.

This is a pretty big deal for one of the cornerstones of “guy” culture in America. Football is the pastime of guys who just want to have a beer and watch three hours of coordinated violence. It was no place for “fag” shit — that was left for the musicals and fruity shows on Bravo. Real, straight red-blooded men liked to watch football with their bros.
Now these red-blooded, all-American men are getting a full dose of poz any time they turn on the NFL — or any other professional sport, for that matter. Every major sports league now pumps out more gay propaganda than reruns of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Sports fans have to accept it if they want to watch the big game and cheer on their favorite players. Sports fandom is no longer a healthy bro activity — it’s pretty damn gay.
The NFL is following a path paved by other leagues. The MLB, NHL, and NBA all host “Pride Nights.” They all sell “pride” merchandise to go along with these events. Many teams also change their logos to pride colors at random points in the season. Some teams go the extra mile and wear pride colors on the field. This is typical of most corporations, but sports teams enjoy a greater loyalty and commitment from their customers than most corporations. Few people define themselves by what cereal brand they buy, but many people strongly identify with their favorite sports teams. And many sports teams have pretty conservative fanbases, particularly among hockey fans. Yet, these teams feel the risk of alienating social conservatives is worth it to show their LGBT pride!
This isn’t just an American problem either. The Euro Cup this year made sure to celebrate gays at every possible moment. Munich city officials wanted to light up their stadium in rainbow colors to protest the bigotry of Hungary when Germany faced off against the Magyar team. Euro Cup officials denied the request, but players, teams, and other stadiums found ways to express “pride.” Germany’s team captain wore a rainbow armband during the match. Fans waved pride flags and one spectator charged the field to brandish one in front of Hungarian players. Several stadiums throughout Germany lit up in rainbow colors during the match. England’s team captain wore a rainbow armband during his team’s match against Germany. It’s always a good time to show that your sport is gay.
You can buy Greg Johnson’s It’s Okay to Be White here.
This is all a very sudden change, particularly with the NFL. In the early 2010s, there was a serious pushback within the league against gay players. San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver, a black player, said on a radio show in 2013 that gay players would not be welcome in his locker room or any other team’s locker room. “I don’t do the gay guys man,” said Culliver.”I don’t do that. No, we don’t got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.” Culliver apologized for his comments, but did not suffer any punishment. Another player, former Minnesota Vikings kicker Chris Kluwe, said he lost his job in 2012 due to his strong support for gay marriage. Now the league says the whole sport is gay.
Much of this reflects the broader changes within American society. It wasn’t so long ago when even liberal states voted to ban gay marriage. The same year Barack Obama was first elected president, 52% of Californians voted to outlaw gay marriage. Four years before that, George W. Bush won partially on the promise to pass a constitutional amendment banning the practice. Obama opposed gay marriage in 2008 and gays weren’t allowed to serve in the military when he first entered the White House. A majority of Americans still opposed gay marriage at the beginning of the 2010s. Now 70% support gay marriage, including a majority of Republicans.
Sports leagues can be more pro-gay because the rest of the population is more pro-gay. But it’s more than that. Same-sex marriage was presented to the public as a way to put this issue behind us. “Just let the gays marry and they’ll just be like you and me!” Instead, gay pride has become a civil religion along with black power and we’re all forced to submit to LGBT indoctrination. Our government uses gay issues as a form of soft power around the world and the pride flag has replaced the Stars and Stripes as the symbol of American influence. More than ever, you can’t escape from the clutches of the LGBT movement. Same-sex marriage only made this cause stronger — it didn’t hide it from view.
Sports are intended as an escape and a fun hobby. They were usually bereft of politics, for the obvious reason of attracting the widest possible audience and keeping life’s troubles away. Now sports act as the most insufferable organs for state propaganda. You get lectures about systemic racism from official team social media and have to stand for the “black national anthem.” You better get excited for your team displaying its famous logo in trans colors for Pride Night. Sports act not as an escape but as a reinforcement mechanism for the system’s ideology.
And it works. While some leagues have suffered a ratings decline, the fans still turn out and people are particularly excited to return to watching games in person. Sports fans don’t seem to mind all the propaganda — they swallow it hook, line, and sinker. They’re some of the committed adherents to the system’s ideology and will react angrily to anyone denying their right to see their favorite team play on Pride Night. These are people who live vicariously through black athletes, even wearing the names of these black players on jerseys. All people have hobbies, and sports are fun to watch, but sports fandom is beyond redemption. These pack animals are too addled by ESPN agitprop to ever wake up from their torpor.
Nationalists have to give up on sports fandom. It doesn’t matter how attached to a team you are or how it’s your established hobby. It’s time to pick up something else that doesn’t humiliate you and tell you to hate yourself and worship blacks. Listen to the NFL: sports are gay.

The sportsball management’s posturing is taking the Havel’s Greengrocer shtick a little too far. If I were gay, I’d find all that praise lavished on my inclination to be embarrassing by now.
I gave up the NBA when I was a kid. NFL a few years ago, too political, too anti-White. MLB finally lost me for good this year with the boycott Georgia thing. NHL is very close to the edge, but I barely watch that anyway. Looks like the leftist, anti-White crowd wants us to stick with shooting and weightlifting. Probably for the best.
Guess what the N in the NBA and the NFL means.
Let’s stick with weight lifting, firearms, and the outdoors.
Works for me!
All the more reason to MOVE OUT OF THE CITIES
Curling. It’s very White and the women’s teams are the flower of White Canadian womanhood.
The whole pride stuff is being driven by big corporations, media and universities. It is they whole declare a month be dedicated to the LGBT stuff and provide the propaganda and money driving it. I got notified in my mailbox with a leaflet and obviously at the corporation I work for. This is the most inorganic cultural movement in history. I m in Poland at the moment helping my wife get a much needed operation something that multicultural modern ‘progressive’ Ireland failed to do for her. I even notice this stuff in supposedly right wing Poland. I was walking through Wroclaw and at one point the concentration of multicoloured hairdos, openly gay people and the flag increased dramatically- sure enough we were close to the university of Wroclaw and not too far away a big shiny Google complex- Quelle surprise!
You can be sure to encounter more poz in big cities and Wrocław is on the Western Wall (or Polska A), that is, the region that embraces liberalism the most. Poznań, Gdańsk, Szczecin, you are more likely to find germanophilic libshits in city councils there.
Overall the cultural infiltration from the West goes rather smoothly, although at slower pace than expected by the compradors. There are also some unique quirks stemming from our history and national spirit. Nationalism became more fashionable than it was 2 decades ago, but similar trend happened in regard to lefty liberalism (a big city fad).
I notice signs of the culture war going on in Poland (Liberals vs Catholics / nationalists – graffiti being put on the opposition territory, polish flag vs LGBT one etc. Donald Tusk is the unofficial leader of the liberal camp and the surviving Kacynski twin the real head of PiS in the other one. PiS has strong links with the Catholic Church and I believe that there’s child sexual abuse scandals being revealed in the last couple years which is weakening the church power, just like what happened to Ireland prior to it becoming liberal globohomo land. The fallout will be obviously deleterious to the power of the church in Poland and so it would seem that there is a huge danger that Poland takes the same path Ireland went on. I really hope dissident right ideas take hold in time to save the beautiful nation of Poland.
My wife and I are very grateful to your country’s health service- she has had a successful operation to relieve chronic pain and is on the road to a full recovery. In many ways Poland is a model ethnostate – her people need to understand why certain things about it are so good. We in Ireland are paying a heavy price for liberal insanity taking hold here.
You left the “Q” off of “LGBTQ” which I think was added last week.
How’s that supposed to make people whose sexual preference begins with the letter Q feel?
It’s actually LGBTQIA now, so I’m deeply offended by you all! I and A stand for intersexual and asexual. Actually, I’ve invented the category of blancosexual for myself, only attracted to white people. That’s really true, I was born that way, can’t help it.
Well you’re not getting any reparations so forget about it.
I’ve read two things on the Q. One is that it stands for “queer” but isn’t that covered by the G for “gay?”
The other is that it stands for “questioning.” The questioning community gets its own letter? And how is their indecisiveness our problem?
This why I only watch combat sports like the UFC, boxing, and amateur wrestling now.
I’ve waited my whole life for England to get to the final of a major football (soccer) tournament, yet now that we’ve finally made it I actually find myself hoping we lose.
It was gratifying to see how there wasn’t as much interest in the Euros at first here this year because our team (which must be a third black) was still debasing themselves with the kneeling BS which the TV was editing out the booing of, but now that we’ve won a few matches people who haven’t said a damn thing about us being replaced in our own country have suddenly got the flags out and become ra-ra English patriots. Ugh.
I’m actually positively impressed with how white the English team is. 2-3 blacks or mulattos on the XI. France is the opposite, 2-3 whites. Italy has no blacks, they used to have Super Mario Balotelli but got hammered 4-0 To Spain in the 2012 Euro final.
I usually root for the eastern European teams or Spain and Italy.
I would similarly wish success on a 100% black African team vs an African team with whites or other foreigners on it. I root for true countries.
Technically, Italy does have one Black Brazilian (Emerson) but he is only playing because a White Italian was injured, and a White Brazilian (Jorginho).
I recall the days when having a transplant Brazilian on your national team was de riguer and everyone politely looked the other way. Seems they have been replaced by Africans.
Same, I have sat through almost every England match since 1990 waiting for this moment, with ever decreasing enthusiasm, and now it has arrived I feel nothing but contempt for the whole enterprise.
Andy Milonakis predicted all of this years ago:

I like women’s Australian netball.
I’m old enough to remember when American sports were indeed for the macho. Even then, though, I found watching sports (except, I confess, the Sunday replays of NFL team highlights with lots of slowmos) painfully boring. Who cares who wins? I haven’t watched a World Series or Superbowl since the 80s, except once when I had crashed at a pal’s house after a Saturday party; Superbowl was next day; had gotten a ride out there so I wouldn’t risk DUI; and didn’t want to pay $100 for a cab back, so I had to wait for someone heading home my way postgame to give me a ride. That was it.
The more whites who become alienated from sports, and every other “institution” of the degenerate Amerikwan way of life, the better. We are going to have to reach all the way down in order to rebuild ourselves all the way back up into something new and better than whatever we were that led us to this state of enervation and decline.
“Few people define themselves by what cereal brand they buy”
Frankly, I’m getting there. Weetabix and Shreddies are amongst the few things which are the same as they ever were.
This queerness needs to be framed as a hobby of the wealthy. Ordinary white working class men and women hate having this queerness shoved in their faces and they’re being force-fed it by the wealthy in the country who would rather have them argue over trannies, niggers and fags than over the wealth transfer that took place during the pandemic. Ordinary white working class Americans are fed up with this and we should play the class war angle as hard as we can – perhaps difficult for the former Libertarians among us but a sure route to success. Because there is a class in America that wants to destroy the lower and middle class, it is a race but a class also, the international clique class of the ultra-wealthy who grow fat off the misery they create. A little bit of class warfare makes the race realism go down.
Funny – compare the EuroCuck with the Copa America (the South American equivalent tournament). CA has no rainbow flags, knee bending or other gay [email protected], and half those countries are black! Willing to bet that gay crap doesn’t fly in the Africa Cup of Nations (the one actually played in Africa I mean).
Last paragraph hit the nail directly on the head. Worshipping queers and blacks.
The culture war in Poland has a colonial background so I doubt we’d follow the irish path verbatim (despite some similarities between our national spirits). Westernisation, cargo cultism and oikophobia are the main distingushing traits of liberalism in Poland (with some exceptions to right-wing libertarians) which operates under such terms like: progress, europeanness, tolerance. Cut the pipeline to western foundations, campuses or other institutions and see how quickly it withers. Even Donnie Tusk probably got back not because he wanted to, but because he had been ordered to by his benefactors. The guy left the chair of the Prime Minister in Poland so he could become the President of European Council for Chrissakes! He got better pay (with post-employment benefits) and little to do and now he would come back to the “Polish Hell”? His role is more akin to that of the caporegime, who has to discipline mafia soldiers in polish colonial area.
Christianity in Poland always had more rural character with folkisch approach to faith and even on higher levels it was weak on thelogical and philosophical levels. Our country never really underwent the Reformation outside political level, for example. Pedophile scandals is not the main drive behind losing faith, urbanisation is, you won’t likely see the same insanity like in Hispanidad countries or Ireland, at least in the short-term. Also, the Church is no longer the bluwark against the communism encroachment and the last greatest church leaders like cardinal Wyszyński are long gone. PiS links to the Church are mainly political, with higher hierarchy and their economic/political/social interests, but it’s no longer the deciding factor in the elections. Economic and social populism drove the post-communist voters and the undecided towards the party and brought them victory.
Thank You for Your warm compliments towards our country, we’re indeed a model for an ethnostate in some areas although it’s mostly thanks to post-war reshaping of our borders and demographics. We cling to the nation-state model on the EU level because we see no other way of advocating our interests or define ouselves politically however, with the recent immigartion policies we’re sliding slowly back to the 2nd Polish Republic scenario, that had to deal with Jewish and Ukrainian Questions among others. There is no point in making people (the masses) undestand that, since most know no history and don’t even bother to examine long-term consequences of those trends. Stoking nationalist feelings and building economic power to fund grass-roots efforts in fixing our issues is a better way, because globalists are the weakest on the lowest levels in provinces (which they hate more or less openly).
Training for athletic competition has always been for the masculine. Observing men engaged in athletic competition has always been for the effete. Sitting on a couch and consuming beverages that decrease testosterone production while observing men engaged in athletic competition is for the enervated effete that lie to themselves about their own masculinity and sexual prowess. Watching another man pretend to be at war is just as emasculating as watching another man pretend to mate with a woman. Watching sports was never “macho”; it’s homoerotic. Always has been. Always will be. The Pride flag is appropriate.
Sorry, this was meant to be a reply to Irishman
A correct observation. Although I have always felt genetically and culturally connected to my people, I have never understood the bonding between the fans of a sports team. Even as a kid, I felt that there is something utterly barbaric (and artificial at the same time) about such bonding.
Well, get over it. We’re heading towards a period of barbarism, especially against whites and you’d better be able to respond in kind.
No, sports are BORING. Geez, your life’s greatest thrill is watching other people bat around a THING? What the hell is wrong with you?
