Fox News reports:   

The annual June 1 kickoff to Pride Month came and went on Monday and the NFL’s X account that serves over 36 million followers and its Instagram account that serves 32 million followers did not mention the event. Let that sink in for a moment.

The league accounts that, in the past years, have told fans that “football is gay,” that “football is lesbian,” that football is queer, transgender, bisexual and, for everyone, were silent on the issue. The National Football League’s social media accounts this year stuck to, well, football.

For some gay activists, the NFL’s action (or inaction) on social media on Monday means they’re hoping some admin corrects an oversight as early as Tuesday morning.
