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.

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...

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…

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

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

It will be a proper wrecking ball.

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.

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

Now racism won't end at the end zones!

I feel like this is a great time to point out just how many of both teams playing in the Super Bowl are black (I didn't count them, but just take a look at their roster).

Interested to see how things play out. I'm hoping for protests on both teams when the game starts, but I'm worried what I'll get is a perfect example of why money is the root of all evil.

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.

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

Cowards.

Not sure I understand the point of the NFL with these anti racism sayings.

Like is there anyone racist out there that reads these and changes their mind?

That’s not how racism works at all.

NFL can continue doing what they want I just don’t see the purpose.

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.
