Former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant Faces Backlash Over Comments on NFL Commercial

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is drawing criticism online after publicly speaking out against a recent NFL commercial that promotes inclusivity with the message “Football is gay.”

The commercial, originally released as part of the league’s ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community, has resurfaced in discussions around Pride Month.

Bryant, known for his outspoken nature on social media, called the ad “unnecessary” and questioned the NFL’s messaging.

His comments have sparked a wave of backlash, with many fans and advocacy groups accusing him of being insensitive and dismissive toward the LGBTQ+ community.

Critics argue that the campaign aims to show support for all fans and players, regardless of identity, while others have supported Bryant’s right to express his opinion.

As the controversy grows, neither the NFL nor Bryant has released an official follow-up statement.
