The decision comes as a stark contrast to many other NFL teams who have embraced LGBTQ+ inclusion and held similar events, with Pride Nights becoming a staple of professional sports leagues across the country. The Chiefs’ refusal to participate has led to intense reactions on both sides of the aisle, with supporters praising the team for “staying true to football” and critics decrying the decision as a backward step in societal progress.
While the Chiefs’ management stands firm on their decision, the reaction from players has been notably mixed. Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was quick to diplomatically distance himself from the decision, stating, “I’m here to play football, not politics. But I do believe everyone should be treated with respect, on and off the field.” …
However, kicker Harrison Butker, known for his more conservative stance, seemed to side with the team’s leadership. “Football is football. I think people are tired of having everything politicized. Let’s just stick to what we do best: playing the game.”
Of course, no modern controversy is complete without the virtual battleground of social media weighing in. Twitter exploded with hashtags like #WokeFreeChiefs and #CancelTheChiefs, as users took sides in the debate. Some fans argued that the Chiefs were simply maintaining focus on the game, while others accused the team of alienating a significant portion of their fanbase. …
The NFL, notorious for staying tight-lipped on such polarizing matters, has yet to issue an official statement. …
Even politicians jumped into the fray. Senator Ted Cruz shared a tweet congratulating the Chiefs for “standing firm against the tide,” while Representative Αlexandria Ocasio-Cortez used the moment to call for a broader conversation about inclusion in sports. “This is a teachable moment,” she tweeted. “We need to ensure that our sporting institutions reflect the diversity and values of the people who support them.” …

Psalm 31:18 Let lying lips be quieted; they speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt.
Proverbs 8:13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil. I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
Isaiah 2:17 The pride of man will be bowed down, the arrogance of men will be humiliated, and when that day comes, Adonai alone will be exalted.
Mark 7:21-23 “For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities…pride and foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Messiah have now come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown out: the one who accuses them before our God day and night.
Dear Lord and Almighty God, please forgive us when we speak in arrogance and pride. Please replace the rejection of truth with Godly shame. Please press conviction into sinful hearts to create room for repentance and salvation and throw the accuser out of each one. May You be exalted! Lord, please create more opportunities for teams such as the Chiefs to say, “no.” I ask this and so much more in the Name of Jesus Christ. I love You Lord. Amen
I am so very happy to hear this decision the Kansas City Chiefs has made not to host Pride Night.
GOD works in mysterious ways and I truly believe this is an act of GOD to give the Kansas City Chiefs the courage to make this decision and stand on it.
GOD bless you and keep you Kansas City Chiefs.
Wake up America !!! Satans agenda for us will prevail no more !!
