By Bill Donohue, Catholic League president
The National Football League (NFL) is pairing with an anti-Catholic LGBT organization, GLAAD, during Super Bowl week, celebrating what it calls “A Night of Pride with GLAAD.” Sponsored by Smirnoff, the fun and games begin on February 7 and will be carried on CBS Sports, GLAAD, and NFL social channels.
GLAAD has a history of
anti-Catholic antics, ranging from celebrating anti-Catholic plays to bashing
popes. More recently, it heralded the decision by the Los Angeles Dodgers to
honor an anti-Catholic group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, at its June
16 game in 2023; the Dodgers reversed its earlier ruling to disinvite the
Sisters.
On June 17, NBC Los Angeles noted the
role of the Catholic League in getting the Dodgers to initially disinvite the
bigots. “The Dodgers pulled the Sisters from their Pride Night the day after
Bill Donohue…had emailed Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred to urge
the team to yank the group.” Manfred was bombarded with emails from our
subscribers.
But then the Dodgers caved in to
gay pressure groups. Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, said the
ruling to reinstate the Sisters restored “fairness.” Fairness to whom? Not to
Catholics.
As
we recounted at the time, the
Sisters have a long history of Catholic bashing extending back to 1979.
Why is the NFL cheering homosexuals
and the sexually confused (males who think they are females and vice versa)?
Why is the NFL now aiming at the kids? To be precise, why is it hosting its
second annual Pride Flag Football Clinic for young boys? Does it really expect
that these kids are the future of the NFL? Or are they pandering?
More seriously, why is the NFL
teaming with GLAAD, an organization that is not shy about bashing Catholics? If
it is wrong to host an anti-gay group during Super Bowl week, why is it
acceptable to host an anti-Catholic group?
For that matter, if the NFL is
reaching out to young LGBT boys, why doesn’t it reach out to young Christian
boys? Why doesn’t it have a clinic for young Jewish and Muslim boys?
The NFL, under its woke
commissioner, Roger Goodell, is not content to promote professional football.
Its foray into left-wing politics is no secret, but less well known is its
embrace of anti-Catholic bigotry. But now the word is out. Our fans will surely
weigh in against him.
