Dez Bryant, a former NFL star, publicly criticized the NFL's Pride month campaign that promoted acceptance and support for LGBTQ+ youth. He took issue with statements made in the campaign, specifically saying that football being described with LGBTQ+ terms was not right for children. While acknowledging the existence of gay players in the league, Bryant expressed concern over what he perceives as an imposition of LGBTQ+ advocacy on children and suggested that the message of community should not overshadow the sport.
Football is gay Football is queerFootball is transgender.. these are wild statements to make..excuse my silliness. I'm going to proudly tell my boys football is none of these things. I have nothing against Gays but this is far from right.
[There are] gay players in the NFL but forcing it in people's faces, especially children, can send the wrong message. Football is a real community, like the gay community.
