The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.
Well, the NFL did it. They ended racism.
I, for one, have found racism considerably less appealing since reading this sideways in endzones. Thanks NFL for making me not a bigot anymore. I think blacks are probably fine now.
Of course this was not about to end racism, but building safe space to not trigger the racists is encouraging them.
It was about product placement
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?
Every single
Blackplayer. They’re a team, and I’m willing to believe they respect each other enough to stand still for each other.This would be fucking awesome.
Fire all black people and somehow fault them for the whole thing.
At least if the rest of the country does not show solidarity and doesn’t organize a general strike - which is illegal by the way.
Fire every black person in the NFL??? Hooooooooboy.
2026 headline. “NFL viewership falls to 3. As in there are now 3 people still watching.”
Point taken.
Just don’t pay them, get them arrested and lease them back from the prisons. Slavery is legal in the US after all.
Why are people talking about a general strike in the USA? Surely you must realise everyone is too busy keeping their heads above water.
What the fuck? No wonder Trump is doing whatever the fuck he wants, Americans are too busy thinking about losing some of the comfort if they try raising their voice.
General strike and massive protests should have happened days ago.
It is beyond surreal that he is just face fucking everyone right now, and noone is doing anything. Because they are worried about losing their comfort.
Just wait a bit longer and you won’t have any comfort left anyway.
Why are people talking about a general strike in the USA? Surely you must realise everyone is too busy keeping their heads above water.
As opposed to the other general strikes done in times of plenty and happiness?
General strikes usually happen when people realize that they won’t be able to keep doing that.
I’d love them to take a knee at the anthem. I hope someone or many do.
They shouldn’t be so political!
I’m glad to see you bought a copy of my book! Would you like me to sign it for you?
As the literal president who started the whole thing sits in the stands. Hopefully getting boo’d.
Here’s the nazi!
Wouldn’t want the snowflakes feeling bad about their natural tendencies, would we?

Stupid article with irritating title. They’re just changing it to Choose Love, which apparently was one of the other messages used this season.
“Choose Love” sounds a lot like the message that pastor had at his inauguration. Point being, he’s likely to be offended by that as well.
Is that the love between a man or a woman or the love of a man for a fine Cuban cigar?OP is bringing reason and common sense get them!
I think the point is more that they are changing it to appease the great big orange convicted criminal who is currently gutting our government and destroying affirmative action in the name of “efficiency” with a literal Nazi at the helm of that effort.
But hey, it’s only a nationally televised sporting event so who cares. 😒
Fuck the NFL. I honestly hope people torch the Superbowl over this and FuckwADUS attending like Nero in the colosseum.
Interested to see if Kendrick is gonna have ANYTHING to say about the state of things at his performance at the halftime show.
It’s literally the only thing I’m tuning in for
He’ll call Drake a racist and the crowd will go wild. That’s the state of things.
Cowards.
…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.
Racism is over, brought to you by Bud Light

KANSAS CITY RACISTS
Haha hope uncle kenny speaks on some o this
They can save time by only removing ND from END and adding MOR before END.

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.
You need to realize the privilege you have to say this. There is a mass erasure of people going on.
Acknowledging the world has issues, and active removal of that acknowledgement is not just fucking “politics.” It’s about humanity. It’s about respecting people. It’s about progress.
This is being done to appease the same fat shithead nazi who is scrubbing Trans from the government. Who is stoking fear into the lives of millions because of the ACTIVE effort to suppress them and their concerns.
And this isn’t only a US issue. There’s been a clear push towards fascism worldwide for a while.
You don’t see that because you have some kind of privilege, or you just idiotically have your head in the sand.
When did, “End Racism” become a controversial political statement? 🤔
You are missing the point, friend. Sometimes no politics, or messaging or virtue signaling is better or desired. I do need or want to end a video game stage with AE flashing a banner that reads, “Consume less corn syrup!” At all times. Despite the fact we all know that consuming it leads to obesity. Does that sound crazy to you? Or does everything, everywhere has to be covered in slogans?
Or do you honestly assume the vast majority people are removed or evil that do not want to avoid racism without being having to be reminded of it 24/7? 'Cause despite the good intentions, that is how you annoy the hell out of people as it is both patronising and tiring. That is partly the reason why Trump got elected. Let’s not make the problem worse. Let sport be sport.
Oh, I see. Your problem is that you’re concerned it’s taking up space… a space that would otherwise be filled with an advertisement trying to sell you something. Interesting.
That is literally not what I said.
Why are you attempting to side step my point? Are you doing that on purpose, or in bad faith?
Yes, it is. You’re upset about being shown an anti-racist message, and the alternative to that, whether you acknowledge it or not, is that you will be shown an advertisement in the same space. So it’s 100% accurate to say that you dislike seeing an anti-racist message so much that you’d rather be shown an ad.
Is being against racism political?
Only to racists.
Do you think people need to be annoyed or reminded of this 24/7? Why not put, Eat more vegetables? Or, Water Great! Or, Chew your food before swallowing to prevent choking? Point is that as well meaning as they are, the constant, propaganda style messaging is annoying. And counterproductive, unless you think you are special and the only one who wants to be, you know, not racist. It comes off as patronising. I mean, you may disagree but I am sure this is a big reason why it is being removed.
Why do you not tattoo end racism on your forehead? You are not being political, you just want to remind people of something most people actively do not want to be. Do it. Take a photo of it. Unless you are a racist, because why would you not do it, otherwise?
I look forward to you posting a photo of your forehead.
Damn bro
People not eating vegetables or not drinking an optimal amount of water doesn’t kill them. You know what kills people? Racialized violence that’s normalized by society.
Honestly it was pretty dumb to begin with. “End racism” is not really a measurable or actionable goal.
Its a message that society won’t accept racism. As in, if you are acting racist, you are a problem to society. Its the “only YOU can prevent forest fires”. Its a call to personal action.
Removing that message from the field when it was there before does the reverse saying “Racism is a-okay!”.
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.
No one gesture or action can fix race relations. Just as racism is a societal problem that manifests itself in many ways from tiny things all the way up to awful explicit actions, societal change needs to happen in both large and small ways. Things like having an ‘end racism’ banner by itself doesn’t do much, but it’s part of a collective effort to show that society is changing and to remind people that we need to and are doing the work to tackle the issue.
The only thing racism needs to thrive in society is for it to be quietly tolerated. Removing this banner can be seen as a backslide in that direction.
I’d also argue that by removing it (especially at this time) you’re in fact doing the opposite—you’re now inciting racism because the racists will call it a win and take it as a sign that they’ve “won” or it’s acceptable now.
