The NFL's main social media accounts remained silent about Pride Month on its first day

The ‘Outnumbered’ panelists discuss controversy in Washington State, where residents are pushing back after the city allowed the POW flag to fly over city hall but doesn’t allow the Pride flag.

The annual June 1 kickoff to Pride Month came and went on Monday and the NFL's X account that serves over 36 million followers and its Instagram account that serves 32 million followers did not mention the event.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The league accounts that, in the past years, have told fans that "football is gay," that "football is lesbian," that football is queer, transgender, bisexual and, for everyone, were silent on the issue. The National Football League's social media accounts this year stuck to, well, football.

The league posted about the Myles Garrett trade to the Los Angeles Rams. About the A.J. Brown trade to the New England Patriots. About Odell Beckham signing with the New York Giants. And Raymond Berry dying.

So, this may mean something.

Or nothing.

EX-NFL STAR DEZ BRYANT SLAMS LEAGUE'S PRIDE MONTH MESSAGING: 'FAR FROM RIGHT'

For conservatives, Christians and others, it is a small victory they hope extends throughout the entire month and eventually to the league's individual teams, most of which embraced Pride Month on its first day. Nine of the 32 teams did not recognize Pride Month on Monday.

For some gay activists, the NFL's action (or inaction) on social media on Monday means they're hoping some admin corrects an oversight as early as Tuesday morning. Otherwise, it's a big loss for those activists that want their sexuality celebrated and amplified by the country's most popular sports league.
