In a 2021 essay published by the Detroit Metro Times, El-Sayed argued that “toxic masculinity” sits at the heart of America’s most popular sport.
El-Sayed also described the locker room culture he experienced as a player: “Racism, misogyny, and homophobia were lingua franca.” On the field he felt free, he claimed. On the sidelines and in the locker room? “I was fed a hefty dose of the worst kinds of racist taunting.” A particular “bro” culture, he said, has been replicated in football for decades.
His essay reads, in part:
“The toxic masculinity at the heart of America’s most popular sport — and men’s sports culture more generally — is way deeper than a few emails or a Jay-Z turnaround.
Growing up, sports were my lifeline. As a brown kid with a funny name that most people couldn’t pronounce (my full first name is Abdulrahman), sports were a safe haven. On the football field, I felt free. And yet on the sidelines and in the locker room, I was fed a hefty dose of the worst kinds of racist taunting.
After all, it’s where a particular kind of “bro” culture has been inculcated and replicated for decades. Racism, misogyny, and homophobia were lingua franca. And while coaches would call out the most egregious forms, there was rarely a concerted effort to uproot the culture that drove it.
Indeed, too often, coaches were raised in the same culture. So while I remain grateful to all of my coaches for many of the lessons they taught me, I can’t help, in the spirit of coaching itself, to ask how we can improve.”

Short answer is, yes.

I think calling it a "Death Cult" pretty much covers it.
Also, I can believe that males and females are better suited for differing roles in society and not think they should walk around in a table cloth all day hiding theor faces.
I can disagree with homosexuality but not think they should be executed.
I can disagree with a person leaving ones faith without believing they should be executed.
Get my drift here????

That was a really dumb statement for a campaigning politician in the US. Maybe not quite the disaster that Beto's gun statement was, but really, really, dumb.

To answer that, I would need to know what toxic masculinity is. I thought I knew, but the wife and I (no pics) just finished watching the show Absentia. Both she and I noticed that the main character, played by Stana Katic, exhibited almost every toxic masculine trait that has been given.
So I guess masculinity is only toxic if it is found in men and is never toxic if found in women.

Apparently I was way off course thinking superhero women films are loaded with toxic masculinity. It was football all along.

LOL at the NFL for trying to cater to leftists.
They would destroy the sport tomorrow if they could.

Abdul El-Sayed said the "sordid history" of Manifest Destiny, destroying Native Americans, and the transatlantic slave trade is "echoed in the ethos of football."
How many foreheads met hands in the democrat party leadership when he said that?
The idiots the democrats are putting forth for the general election is going to wind up making them look like Leon Lett in the Super Bowl.

I sure do. I turned the title around to point out the obvious.

I guarantee this homo reciprocated the taunting.

So his strategy is vote for me because I’m oppressed.
Sadly, it might work.

They don't want strong American men hindering their ability to take over the country...they want them weak and feeling guilty by using woke language.

Abdul needs to be slathered in feral pig grease.
