A mere four NFL teams switched their logos on Sunday for Pride Month, and fans were quick to voice their opinions:
Pride Month is celebrated every June in the United States. It is devoted to honoring and celebrating the rights and inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community. Many professional sports teams host “Pride Night” and other events to show their support for community members.
On Sunday , Dov Kleiman noted that the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers were the only clubs to change their logos on X/Twitter for Pride Month, though the Buffalo Bills followed suit and shared their support for the LGBTQ+ community as well:
