At this point in the season, it’s hard to imagine that anything could get worse for the UConn Huskies football team. Their record is 0-7, with an average loss of three touchdowns per game. They are the most irrelevant team in college football and are in some desperate need of attention but can’t get any because they are playing so pathetically. But on Friday night’s matchup with Middle Tennessee State, they are bound to get plenty of attention – and it has nothing to do with football.
The first Pride Night at UConn will see thousands of gay pride and rainbows pouring into the faces of those who attend or watch the Huskies’ tilt against the Blue Raiders. Following a disturbing trend the Washington Football Team started in September, the Huskies will put on a full-blown display of gay pride for all attending to indulge in.
The Hartford Gay Men’s choir singing the national anthem, the first 500 fans to the game will receive a rainbow headband, and the Huskies will wear stickers on their helmets that depict their mascot against the Pride colors.
David Benedict, UConn’s athletic director, said:
We are happy to host the first Pride Game in our history…UConn athletics aspires to promote an inclusive environment for all of UConn Nation and we plan on hosting additional Pride games in the future.
Outsports.com is calling it “a wonderful thing.” In reality, it is anything but that.

The LGTBQ agenda is based on intimidating other people into accepting them for who they are and getting what they want, and unfortunately, they’re good at it. Businesses have lost their jobs or been sued by LGTBQ members for not making cakes, and their influence on society grows. They are now threatening to pursue the next generation through schools, but they continue to play sports.
UConn’s current predicament is understandable. Your team is horrible and you must find ways to get fans to the game. Why did they choose this path? Couldn’t they provide some other incentive for loyal Huskie fans instead of putting on a full-blown display of celebrating an agenda that uses fear, threats, and coercion as its tools to spread its message?
UConn seems to be failing to do anything and should instead try to find ways to win.
