NFL ROCKED: Jordan Love Cuts Ties with LGBTQ+ Supporting Brands After Controversial Revelation Linked to Charlie Kirk Shooting

Green Bay, WI — The NFL was thrown into turmoil this morning as Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love made an unexpected and controversial announcement: he will immediately sever ties with all brands that publicly support LGBTQ+ causes.

The bombshell decision comes in the wake of an explosive and unconfirmed report suggesting that the alleged shooter involved in the Charlie Kirk assassination had previously lived with a transgender individual and may have collaborated with a secretive agency identified only as “F3I.”

A Statement That Shook the League

Love’s statement, issued via his verified social media account, read in part:

“Recent developments have shaken me to my core. While I’ve always respected people’s right to live freely, I can no longer align myself with corporations that, knowingly or not, may be supporting agendas connected to extremist ideologies or political chaos. Effective immediately, I’m cutting ties with all LGBTQ+-aligned brand partnerships.”

The post went viral within minutes, sparking a firestorm of backlash, praise, and confusion across the sports world.

Fallout Begins

Several brands that had previously collaborated with Love — including two apparel companies and a national energy drink sponsor — have removed promotional material featuring the quarterback pending internal review. One of the companies issued a brief statement:

“We are disappointed in Mr. Love’s recent remarks and are reviewing our ongoing relationship.”

Meanwhile, fans have flooded forums and social media platforms with polarizing takes. Some are hailing Love’s stance as courageous and principled, while others are denouncing it as reactionary, misinformed, and harmful to LGBTQ+ communities.

NFL Responds

The NFL issued a cautious statement hours later, aiming to distance the league from Love’s comments while walking a delicate PR tightrope:

“The National Football League respects the diverse perspectives of its players while remaining committed to inclusion, equality, and support for all communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals. The statements made by Mr. Love do not reflect the position of the league.”

Several players across the league have also responded.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby tweeted:

“We play football, not politics. Keep the hate out of this game.”

On the other hand, a few conservative-leaning athletes have privately expressed support for Love’s right to “make a moral stand.”

The Charlie Kirk Link

The source of the controversy — a widely circulated conspiracy theory claiming that the assassin involved in Charlie Kirk’s shocking death had personal ties to LGBTQ+ communities and connections to a covert group called F3I — remains unverified. Investigative outlets have yet to confirm any legitimacy to these claims.

Still, the damage may already be done. Love’s response to the swirling rumors has created a public relations crisis not only for himself but also for the Packers and the broader NFL community.

What Happens Next?

Jordan Love is expected to address the media later this week. Legal experts warn that certain contractual partnerships may seek financial penalties for violating ethics clauses.

For now, one thing is clear: this incident has exposed deep cultural fault lines in America’s most-watched sport — and the fallout is just beginning.
