NFL will remove ‘End Racism’ from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl

Because they want to continue racism? I mean, how did it get there in the first place. "Oh wait... Nevermind. We weren't serious."

Imagine a world where every single POC quit on the spot. Goddamn, that would be beautiful.

Because they're gonna replace it with "End Fascism", right?

Are they taking it off the helmets too, did we solve racism already?

They'll replace it with "End DEI".

My consolation is that these motherfuckers are not ready for how hard the pendulum will swing back.

It will be a proper wrecking ball.

Most MAGA people I have been forced to listen to, say there is only racism against whites. "Racism can only be a supremacist view" (not simply I just hate/suspect members of a race because....) and so accusing America of being racist "can only be an anti-white racist view".

That NFL removes this, may, just may in the DEI advocate view, encourage whites to adopt supremacism instead of being angry that this "racism against whites" is the new NFL approved policy.

Kiss the ring, lick the boot. These giant, greedy corporations are fucking pathetic...

EDIT: "Bend the knee" has different connotations, as pointed out by some MFs...

Imagine that you managed to scrounge up the several thousand dollars needed to attend the super bowl. You and your fat wife pile into your lifted f250 and manage to park, get your BudLight™® and squeeze into your double wide seats. But, hark, you spy as Mahomes throws another uncontested touchdown: the NFL's anti racist messaging has been removed from the end zone! How will you be able to dissuade your own white guilt as the black receiver shucks and jives in the end zone after making the catch for over one million dollars a year. A tear runs down your cheek, knowing that you should never have voted for Trump...

Can’t be offending the Racist of the United States of America.

I was going to go out and do some racist shit today, but I saw that the NFL wanted to end it, so now I'm seriously reconsidering said racist shit.

Just stick an S in front, will give the same message and will be much cheaper!

Oh, America.

I think people are reading too much into this. They're changing it to 'Choose Love,' as an obvious shot at the orange-haired man who's never gotten a hug.

Well, the NFL did it. They ended racism.

Legit question. What happens if every single black player just REFUSES to play at the superbowl?

Like, lets say you get opening kickoff, and it's a white guy kicker. So he kicks the ball. It lands at about the 15 yard line. And just NOBODY even attempts anything. They all just stand there, pointing at the endzones.

And it's both teams. I don't know exact numbers, but I'd guess every teams roster is 90%+ black.

And since it's both teams, you can't call one side a forfeit.

I think they should. Embarass the NFL on the biggest stage. The game is Feb 9th. This would be the lead story Feb 10th. They either repaint it back onto the endzones DURING the game, reschedule the game, or the whole game is 0-0, with a clock running down for 3 hours.

What would the NFL do?

Wouldn't want the snowflakes feeling bad about their natural tendencies, would we?

Interested to see if Kendrick is gonna have ANYTHING to say about the state of things at his performance at the halftime show.

Stupid article with irritating title. They're just changing it to Choose Love, which apparently was one of the other messages used this season.

…in case you were curious if it performative in the first place…

Responding to the collective movement of 2020 with endzone prints was a bad look. Removing them is an even worse look. It's like when google changed their slogan from "Don't be evil"

Yeah we all knew they were evil before, but when they stopped claiming to not be evil they got worse.

Well. This is that for the NFL. They did almost nothing to help their players and fans, and now they're doing even less.

Cowards.

KANSAS CITY RACISTS

I mean I am all for ending racism, but if we are being honest with ourselves the little "end racism" banner wasn't doing shit for race relations lol.

Spending time with people outside your bubble is always good even if it's uncomfortable at first. There are countless records of racist white guys joining the army and leaving with a different perspective on the different races. People raised by racists who then went and spent time being shot at and laughing next to people they had been told were somehow different than them simply because of their skin pigmentation. Many people came back from military service with friends of all nationalities.

Anyway the whole "End racism" banner feels a lot like the "gun free zone" signs. The people who are going to read the sign and listen to it are probably already following those instructions. The people who are going to ignore it and continue on their way weren't going to read it in the first place.

They can save time by only removing ND from END and adding MOR before END.

/j

Honestly it was pretty dumb to begin with. "End racism" is not really a measurable or actionable goal.

Haha hope uncle kenny speaks on some o this

Not everything has to be drenched in politics at all times. And doing so is not a crime, aside to those cultist people, whether they are on the right or the left.

Edit:

Wow. Some people here really want politics into everything.

Shocker: Not everyone wants that, 24/7. That is how you alienate average people and why trump got elected.

Not because people are racist, as this sort of thing comes off as a cult. Despite the obvious good intentions. Can't be the only one that sees this. I mean, can't be, since the orange man won. And I say this as a non-American looking in.
