“It’s Pure Wokeness and Satanic” (Page 6 ) | October 14, 2024

Annonce:

Teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, which have historically embraced inclusive initiatives, have remained conspicuously silent, perhaps hoping this controversy will pass like a brief commercial break. Meanwhile, some league insiders are speculating that this could lead to even bigger clashes between NFL teams and the league itself, which has made efforts to appeal to a broader audience.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, whose job these days seems to involve navigating between various political landmines, has yet to comment on the Steelers’ boycott. But considering the league’s attempts to balance progress with appeasing its more conservative fanbase, it’s only a matter of time before Goodell finds himself issuing another vague, “We’re all about unity” statement.

The real question now is: What happens next? With Pride Nights off the table, it remains unclear whether the Steelers plan to boycott other events they deem “woke” or “satanic.” Will Breast Cancer Awareness Month be next? After all, those pink towels could be deemed just as “distracting” as rainbow flags. And heaven forbid the NFL hosts another military appreciation night, lest they be accused of weaponizing patriotism.

For now, the Steelers will return to doing what they do best: playing football and pretending like they didn’t just ignite a controversy that nobody asked for. As for the rest of us, we’ll just sit back and enjoy the spectacle of a league where glitter is apparently more threatening than a pass-rush defense.
