The Pride Night Out has come as Team DC completes its circle of pro LGBTQ nights in the Washington, D.C. In part because NFL teams host so few games - only eight during the regular season - and because so many NFL teams sell out every game, few of them have had a Pride Night on the radar.
Teams from every other major professional sports league in America have already hosted an official Pride Night during a game. The Washington Football Team this Thursday will be the first NFL team to host an official LGBTQ Pride Night at a game when the club hosts the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football.
