NFL to Host Third 'Night of Pride' in Partnership with GLAAD During Super Bowl Week

The event, aimed at promoting LGBTQ inclusion in sports, has drawn criticism due to GLAAD's support for a controversial group.

Overview

  • The NFL has announced its third annual 'A Night of Pride' event to be held on February 7 during the Super Bowl week in Las Vegas.
  • The event is hosted in partnership with GLAAD (Gay, Lesbian, Alliance Against Defamation), a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change.
  • The 'Night of Pride' aims to spotlight advances in LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports and the NFL's commitment to LGBTQ former and current players.
  • The event will feature a panel discussion on LGBTQ inclusion in sports, with participants including Carl Nassib, the first active NFL player to come out as gay.
  • Some critics have expressed displeasure with the NFL's partnership with GLAAD, citing the organization's support for The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group that has been accused of belittling Catholicism and Christianity.
