This is the side of the Rooneys, and probably Tomlin, that I like.

When do we celebrate Nuclear Family Month?

And don't say every month, I want TV ads and talking heads shouting the virtues on a daily basis for that month, and even longer like some of the other issues that we are told are important.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Exactly, and what do most of those 11 teams have in common?
I'm not gay but I have gay friends and relatives. I don't hate on people who are but I don't want it pushed in my face every day.

Right, and that's not hate.

Exactly how I feel about religion.

 

[Stewey]

Exactly how I feel about religion.

I would too if it were pushed in my face.
The only thing I get is a knock on the door by some Jehovah's Witnesses once a year.

 

[Stewey]

Right, and that's not hate.

It's intolerance.

Apparently.

I would agree if religion was being pushed in people’s faces the same way pride month and all the LGBTQ stuff is pushed. Perhaps there was a time, but those days are long gone.

January is Jesus Month! Yeah that would go over well. Maybe it's payback for the Christmas season. I'm not religious but I like Christmas. Might be because of the classic shows. I like getting presents and sending Christmas cards and decorating trees and all that, but I'm still not happy. Still hoping to finally get a Red Rider BB gun this year.

That said, I could see where it would get old for folks who hate Christmas and all that goes with it.

I know all about your Christmas story. You tried bribing your teacher with a giant fruit basket, and then took advantage of a teacher that assigned "What I Want for Christmas" essay for which you got a C+...Then you go to Santa as a last resort....
...and now you somehow think we at SN message board will be able to twist some arms?

You'll shoot your eye out kid. LOL

I read elsewhere where Tomlin was attributed to being against recognizing it. He claimed not the NFL's place to support social issues.

If true, I support Tomlin's position. It's not up to the NFL to make social statements. Go somewhere else if you want that kind of thing. This woke BS has gone wayyyyyyy too far, way. If we aren't having a "hetereosexual pride" month, why have any of them? It's not the NFL's place to support or not; just stay uninvolved.

Out of the AFC North, only Balt. has chose to partake. Make obvious jokes if you must.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through both the sports and social communities, Steelers’ Coach Mike Tomlin has directed his team not to participate in Pride Month activities, calling it “woke crap.” This decision has sparked a heated debate, drawing sharp reactions from fans, advocacy groups, and fellow athletes.

Good. I don't care how they live, but I am lefthanded and I don't expect some kind of celebration for it.

I'm surprised the Bungles opted out.
All Bengal fans are gay.

 

[Steelr4evr]

If you look at it from a biblical christian view. We have dedicated a month to celebrating a sinful ungodly lifestyle that you should turn away from. You should love them just the same as we are all sinners.

the sign at the local church- " LGBTQ and Allies game night" what does that mean? am I included if I wanted to go to church for the 1st time in my life? am I excluded?

What I'm hearing said here is Lamar Jackson is gay. OK. Good to know.
