Dissatisfied, the bad boy stressed that the decision to give Bad Bunny a platform was only possible because, in his understanding, the 'National Football League' had lost its masculine identity, becoming increasingly fragile. Never one to mince words, Strickland, outraged by current society, took the opportunity to speak out against homosexuality, classifying it as a disease.

“Look at the NFL… There was that guy, I don’t even want to say the name of the bastard. Say his name, the guy from the halftime show, the Puerto Rican. Bad Bunny, that son of a bitch. It’s crazy what America is like today. Back in the day, the NFL was the standard for being a man. Now, every damn year, I think everyone in the NFL gets around the table and says, ‘How are we going to ruin this sport? How can we make it gay?’”, said the bad boy.

“Well, I’ll say one thing. Why not bring in a gay foreigner who doesn’t speak English to perform? The NFL is insanely pathetic these days. Even the players probably hate it. I think we all agree that the NFL has gotten very gay lately. Mental illness is real. It’s very simple. If you’re gay, go suck it. Go be happy, be gay. I have no idea what it’s like. Actually, I feel bad for gay people. Imagine a guy waking up and thinking, ‘I want to have sex with other guys.’ I don’t know what that’s like.”

“It’s very strange. It’s clearly a mental illness, but I support it. Sometimes you have to let your flag fly. That being said, transgender is a bit much. If you want to cut off your penis and call yourself Suzy, I don’t agree with that. If you’re gay, whatever. Go be gay. Keep it to yourself, keep it personal, but trans, no. I think we all agree that trans is bad.”, he concluded.
