It’s game over for racism.
We all know what was going on back in 2020, when corporations were tripping over themselves to prove how inclusive and against racism they were, rolling out meaningless gestures one after the other as most Americans just rolled their eyes at this corporate virtue signaling.
And never one to pass up on the opportunity for a meaningless PR stunt, the NFL decided back in 2020 to paint various slogans in their end zones designed to promote diversity and inclusion, with messages like “End Racism,” “Stop Hate” and “It Takes All Of Us” making appearances on the field as part of their “Inspire Change” campaign.
Clearly these did nothing but make the NFL feel like they were actually doing something good, while allowing sexual predators to sign massive contracts and doing nothing to address domestic violence within the league. Guess those players didn’t spend enough time in the endzone.
Well this past winter, the NFL decided to do away with the “End Racism” message for Super Bowl LIX, instead choosing to paint “Choose Love” and “It Takes All Of Us” in the end zones at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Of course a lot of people mocked them for it, while some suggested that it was because President Donald Trump was going to be in attendance and they didn’t want to make him mad. (It also came just weeks after the horrific New Year’s terrorist attack on Bourbon Street).
Well I have bad news for anybody who thought it was ok to be racist now that the NFL wasn’t here to tell you that it’s not.
With the 2025 season just a few weeks away, the NFL has announced that they’ll once again be bringing back their social justice messaging in the end zones, and that “End Racism” will be among the slogans that teams can choose from to stencil on their field.
Teams will have four options for their on-field messages: “End Racism,” “Stop Hate,” “Choose Love” or “Inspire Change.” The opposite end zone will once again say “It Takes All Of Us,” in case anybody was thinking about skating by on everybody else’s work inspiring change.
Speaking on the messages, NFL senior VP of social responsibility Anna Isaacson said the initiative is meant to promote “unity.”
“We’re working hand-in-hand with players, and alongside our clubs, to amplify player voices and underscore what is most important to them. For decades, the NFL and its players have been a unifying force in American culture and society that brings people of all cultures and backgrounds together to enjoy America’s most popular sport.
This is an honor and responsibility that the league takes seriously, which is why we actively invest in off-field programs and on-field initiatives that promote unity.”
Yeah, tell that to the Raiders fans who threw a beer on Steelers fans and then hit a lady in the face last season. “Unity” you say? I mean, didn’t a Ravens fan get arrested for randomly jumping a Commanders fan last year? What are you even talking about?
Of course if the NFL really wanted to promote “unity” among fans they would stop selling alcohol in their stadiums so that opposing fanbases weren’t brawling in the stands, but that would cut into their revenue more than some paint for a meaningless slogan on the field.
At the end of the day, the whole thing is just another virtue signal from a billion dollar corporation that’s more interested in scolding others than actually doing something about their own problems. But hey, it’s good to know that the NFL is against racism again after taking a break for the past few months.The post The NFL Announces That They Will Once Again Be Ending Racism After Taking A Break During The Super Bowl first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
