Amid Calls for Cancelation, Promise Keepers Stands Strong

"We're teaching men to lay down their lives, to be godly leaders...It's amazing that anybody would be threatened by that."

Written by Tony Perkins | Friday, May 21, 2021

USA Today’s Mike Freeman, a columnist for the paper, is the latest to bet that the NFL will back him in his absurd quest to cancel a Christian conference for daring men to act like… men! In today’s world, that’s apparently a shocking enough concept that Freeman thinks Dallas’s AT&T Stadium should call off the event entirely.

 

The cancel culture must be getting desperate. After a month of having their lunch handed to them by Georgia, Montana, Arizona, Texas, and the conservative movement in general, the bullies on the Left are frantically trying to prove they’re still relevant. The trouble is, fewer and fewer people are a) intimidated; or b) paying attention. But as Promise Keepers’ Ken Harrison will tell you, that hasn’t stopped the mob from making a stink about the big PK event scheduled for July in Texas.

If you’re looking for woke hot spots, U.S. sports may be the biggest offender outside of government schools. From Major League Baseball to the NCAA, America’s leagues seem intent on driving away fans and profits with its political extremism. USA Today’s Mike Freeman, a columnist for the paper, is the latest to bet that the NFL will back him in his absurd quest to cancel a Christian conference for daring men to act like… men! In today’s world, that’s apparently a shocking enough concept that Freeman thinks Dallas’s AT&T Stadium should call off the event entirely.

“I’m tired,” Freeman declares dramatically. “Just really tired. Tired of ignorance. Tired of fear. Tired of how some use both as weapons, cloaking bigotry as patriotism or religious freedom” — which is what he accuses Promise Keepers’ Harrison of doing. Comments like his, the sports beat writer says, “shouldn’t be anywhere near an NFL team. A company like AT&T shouldn’t be associated with them either.” And what are these outrageous comments that has the Left in such hysterics? Nothing short of biblical worldview on marriage and gender. “Look,” Harrison said, when USA Today contacted him and asked if he regretted his stance, “today’s culture is blurring the lines when it comes to sexual identity.” That’s not hate speech, he insisted. That’s reality.
