The annual LGBTQ+ celebration, which began June 1, has been embraced on social media by 25 franchises, along with the league itself.

However, the reigning Super Bowl champs haven’t shared any posts about the celebration.

The Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans and Cowboys have also been silent on the topic this year.

Mail Sport has reached out to each of these teams for comment but did not hear back prior to publication.

Although the franchises haven’t acknowledged Pride, which commemorates the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, several teams are currently selling Pride merchandise featuring their logos.

T-shirts, hats, home décor and more rainbow-hued products are available for purchase on the official NFL Shop.

Some teams, including the Detroit Lions, have been promoting their Pride Month apparel collection on social media, while others like the Washington Commanders changed their profile picture on X to their ‘W’ logo in rainbow colors.

The NFL recently issued a statement in the wake of Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s anti-LGBTQ+ graduation speech at Benedictine College.

‘Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,’ the NFL’s Chief Diversity Officer Jonathan Beane said last month.

‘His views are not those of the NFL as an organization,’ he continued. ‘The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.’

The league has also released a line of Pride gear, hosted multiple Pride parties at the Super Bowl, and even shared a video saying, ‘Football is gay. Football is queer. Football is accepting,’ in 2021.

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks have both shown their support for Pride Month heading into the NBA Finals.

‘This month and always, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community, embracing equality and respect for all,’ the Celtics captioned an Instagram post on June 1.

‘Together, let’s continue to champion ongoing advocacy efforts, open conversations, and create safe and inclusive spaces.’

The Mavs, for their part, wrote on social media, ‘This month and every month, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community.’

The MLB has also shown support for the annual celebration, as all but one of the 30 teams are set to host a Pride Night.

The Texas Rangers, who are continuing to opt out of supporting LGBTQ+ fans within their community, came under fire for changing their slogan to ‘Straight Up Texas’ throughout Pride Month.
