In a surprising and contentious move, the Kansas City Chiefs, a prominent NFL team, have announced their decision not to participate in Pride Month celebrations this year. The team described the event as “extremely woke,” igniting widespread debate and drawing both praise and criticism from various quarters.

The announcement came through an official statement released by the Chiefs’ front office, clearly expressing their stance. The statement read, “While we support diversity and inclusion, we believe that the current iteration of Pride Month has become overly politicized and does not align with our team’s values. We have therefore decided not to participate in any Pride Month events or celebrations this year.”
