Former Dallas Cowboys\u00a0star wide receiver\u00a0Dez Bryant\u00a0has always been outspoken throughout his\u00a0NFL\u00a0career. Sometimes, that has gotten him into trouble. On social media, Bryant is no different and is always willing to sound off on trending topics, so it was only a matter of time until he sounded off on the league’s Pride Month campaign.<\/p>\n

Teams around the league showed their support for the LGBTQ+ community by changing their avatars on social media to include rainbow colors.<\/p>\n

Some teams, like the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams, encouraged fans to\u00a0join in on Pride celebrations\u00a0throughout the year. Others, like the\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers, shared the\u00a0dates of events in the community taking place throughout Pride Month, from a parade to a street fair.<\/p>\n

Bryant didn’t share his thoughts on the Pride Month campaign until an old video resurfaced and began going viral. The video was first shared by the NFL in 2021.<\/p>\n
