Weak … just weak.

This year’s Super Bowl is being held in Las Vegas, and though the Super Bowl is always glorious, it’s a little bit more special in 2024 with it being held in Sin City. So why is the NFL ruining it with a “Night of Pride?”

That’s right, the league is hosting their third “Night of Pride” event during Super Bowl week, and though I guess LGBTQ+ (or whatever they’re named today) and a city of sin mixes well, I don’t want them to have this one. NOT VEGAS. This event is more for a boring city like Minneapolis, where the first “Night of Pride” was held in 2018.

In the official press release from the NFL, they say they’re hosting this event with GLAAD (Gay, Lesbian, Alliance Against Defamation) and that Smirnoff is sponsoring the social justice shindig — it’s being held Feb. 7.

“A Night of Pride with GLAAD is an evening of music, cocktails and interview-style conversations with GLAAD, a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change,” the league said. “The NFL family and partners will gather to spotlight advances in the future of LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports as well as the NFL’s commitment to LGBTQ former and current players.”

First, the Black National Anthem, now this … what a disgrace, NFL.
