June has arrived, which means it's pride month everywhere, including in the NFL. About two-thirds of the NFL teams celebrated pride month on social media, sending messages of support to their millions of followers. Some teams even changed their logos to match the pride flag colors.Not all teams joined in, though. Eleven teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys, chose not to acknowledge pride month on social media. This division among teams reflects a larger cultural divide in the United States.Some people don't support pride month for various reasons, while others feel it's being pushed too aggressively. However, silence from teams doesn't necessarily mean opposition—it could simply mean neutrality.In a world where even silence is interpreted as support or opposition, the NFL teams' actions—or lack thereof—during pride month become newsworthy. The fact that 21 teams expressed support while 11 stayed silent on the subject highlights the ongoing cultural wars in the country.Regardless of individual opinions, it's clear that the NFL is embracing LGBTQ+ inclusion and pride month celebrations, signaling a shift in societal attitudes over the past decade or more.
