The first openly transgender cheerleader has joined NFL team the Carolina Panthers– a “big” moment that she says she hopes will inspire others on and off the gridiron.
Some years back, as a then lifelong Steelers fan, I stopped watching the NFL because it went from being a fun game to watch to being a preachy, woke, and vaguely anti-American experience. So with the exception of watching the last few games that Ben Roethlisberger played in, I have not watched the NFL in about 3 years. Now that they have transgender cheerleaders, I am thinking about coming back just so I can make a statement by quitting again.
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:" Romans 1:24 (KJB)
As Christians, we are called to preach the gospel of the grace of God and to be a witness to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ according to the scriptures. Since a large percentage of people who watch the NFL are Christian, I think it would be great if they all stopped supporting the NFL as they careen forward into this new woke business model. For those of you who have read my testimony of how I got saved, you know that it was the witness of the people who held up those John 3:16 signs back in the 1970's and '80's during NFL games that played a large part in me getting saved. So for that I am grateful. But that was then, this is now, and it's a whole new ball game.
