The National Football League's transformation into another arena for feminist virtue signaling is picking up steam, and conservative commentators aren't staying silent about it.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is sounding the alarm after Carlie Irsay-Gordon assumed ownership of the Indianapolis Colts following her father Jim Irsay's passing. But it's not just the ownership change that has Whitlock concerned—it's the media circus surrounding it.
"She magically appears as the team's owner and standing on the sideline. And she is what I'm calling an example of the equalizers and this whole feminist movement we have going on in the National Football League," Whitlock commented on his show.
"America, beyond the NFL, is being transformed by these equalizers who are pushing this feminist agenda into every corner of our culture," Whitlock continued.
The controversy has sparked heated debate on social media, with users like @BcoatsB sharing Whitlock's criticism and asking the pointed question: "Are women overtaking the NFL?"
This isn't happening in a vacuum, Patriots. Under the previous Biden administration, DEI initiatives and "woke" policies infiltrated every institution—from our military to our sports leagues. The NFL, once a bastion of American masculinity and competition, has increasingly embraced progressive talking points and female leadership positions.
The Bigger Picture
Whitlock's concerns reflect a broader frustration among conservative Americans who see the systematic feminization of traditionally male-dominated spaces as part of a coordinated cultural assault. The NFL has already faced backlash for its handling of social justice messaging and political activism on the field.
With President Trump back in office and the MAGA movement's renewed focus on traditional American values, expect more pushback against the NFL's continued drift toward progressive ideology. The question isn't whether women can own football teams—it's whether the league's obsession with showcasing female leadership is genuine merit or performative wokeness.
Are we watching the natural evolution of business ownership, or the deliberate deconstruction of America's most popular sport? The answer may determine whether football remains America's game or becomes another casualty of the culture war.
