The NFL regularly participates in holidays throughout the year, whether it be during the season or not. June marks the start of Pride Month, however, the number of teams who chose to publicly support this month shocked many fans.
Number Of NFL Teams Who Changed Logos For Pride Month Ignites Massive Controversy
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:

Social media had a lot to say about the posts:
“grown men getting mad over rainbows in 3. . . 2 . . . 1,” a user said.
“I’m sure the comments will be rational this year,” said another.
“The Bills and I’m damn proud they do. #billsmafia,” a fan wrote.
“Absolutely they should follow thats embarrassing for the NFL,” a user said.
“Shout-out my team @Lions,” a fan added.
