NFL to Host Third Annual 'Night of Pride with GLAAD' at Super Bowl LVIII

Critics Question Sincerity of NFL's LGBTQ Inclusion Efforts Amid Lack of Openly Gay Players

The NFL is hosting its third annual 'A Night of Pride with GLAAD' during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, aiming to spotlight advances in LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports.
The event will feature conversations with GLAAD and a performance by singer-songwriter VINCINT.
The NFL is also hosting its second annual Pride Flag Football Clinic at the Super Bowl Experience, advocating for LGBTQ+ youth and members of the National Gay Flag Football League.
Former NFL player Carl Nassib, who made history as the first openly gay player in NFL history, is expected to feature in the event.
Critics argue that the NFL's efforts are insincere, given the league's history and lack of openly gay players.
