Pandering to under 4% of the population

| No Comments

The gays may be loud. They do have an excellent PR department. I'm a numbers guy and the numbers do not lie.  About 4 out of every 100 people lie somewhere on the homosexual spectrum.  The majority just live a quiet life with their sweetie. The tranche who loudly display their pathologies - gender, etc... are a few percent of that 4 percent. A statistical rounding error. Noise.

This population is not evenly distributed.  If you were flaming and were born in some small town in Iowa, you would move to San Francisco stat.

Something that is very fun to see these days is large organizations bending over backwards to pander to this 4% at the expense of the other 96% of their clients.  Disney does gay days at their theme parks - this is the perfect way to do it. Quiet and everyone has a great time.  Don't forget your red shirt. The National Football League is going to discover that their idea was not the way to do it. From Russia Today:

‘Football is gay’: NFL releases bizarre video after player’s coming out
The National Football League has declared “football is gay” and “transgender” in a new ad. What seems like a mission to alienate the NFL’s red-blooded fanbase is a stunt backing Raiders star Carl Nassib, who recently came out.

A video released by the NFL on Monday features simple white text on a black background, declaring among other things that “football is gay,” “football is lesbian,” “football is queer,” and “football is transgender.” It ends with the league’s logo decorated in pride colors and with a promotion for The Trevor Project, a youth-focused LGBT charity.

One of the comments to their video summed it up perfectly:

“Football is football,” he wrote, “stop trying to push this s**t down our f*****g throats.”

Exactly.  The NFL has a responsibility to their fans as well as to their advertisers.  If their advertisers are not getting the audience they want, they will pull the funding. The fans may have favorite teams but there are a lot of other televised sports out there. Soccer (the other footbal) looks fun and certainly has a passionate fanbase...
