The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.
Imagine a world where every single POC quit on the spot. Goddamn, that would be beautiful.
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.
Are they taking it off the helmets too, did we solve racism already?
My consolation is that these motherfuckers are not ready for how hard the pendulum will swing back.
It will be a proper wrecking ball.
I would be amazed if there is anything left to demolish once they’re finished.
No it wont. Normal people are tired of being preached to when they are at a football game of all places. Ironically sports were at the vanguard of improving race relations in the United States. There’s something to be said for showing rather than telling.
I agree, what’s that timeline look like for you though? 4 years? 8 years? The “wait” is gonna fuckin’ suck.
Crossing my fingers for the first trans president, though.
2 years. Think positively, act positively, make it happen.
2/3 control of the House and a clear majority in the Senate. Not enough to make an impeachment stick, but more than enough to stop the madness.
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.
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…
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…
Lick the boot.
Ooo, I like this one, edited.
These giant, greedy corporations are fucking pathetic…
Boycott, whenever you can. Research your choices: https://www.goodsuniteus.com/
Also , the spineless viewers , musical artists, players, and advertisers that enable the whole event
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.
Alternate story: Racist was going to go out and harass somebody today, instead he saw “end racism” on the TV and had an aneurysm
Tbh both are equally likely.
Would be more honest had they only removed ‘End’
Just stick an S in front, will give the same message and will be much cheaper!
Or a T
Oh, America.
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
Now that we know our stupid president wants to attend the game, I’d love it if Kendrick just went off during halftime.
Same here
He’ll call Drake a racist and the crowd will go wild. That’s the state of things.
If that’s all that happens, I’m not sure how I’ll feel about him going forward. Isn’t he meant to be the thinking man’s rapper? Kind of an educated leftist type? For him to accept a Superbowl halftime show and not be planning ANYTHING would make so much of his work and messaging become hollow to me.
On the other hand, idk what he would even do besides saying ‘fuck Trump’. That would be the weakest, most watered down shit, but you’re 100% right, that’s the state of things.
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.
More of a meta comment, but are all organisations stuck with their slogans forever?
NFL rotates these messages and this game it moves from “End racism” to “Choose love”. Next it will rotate again and people will be upset they removed the “Choose love” slogan because they are anti-LGBT?
Google changes their motto from “Don’t be evil” to “Do the right thing” and everyone is upset. One day they will change it again and everyone will be upset because of course they are not doing the right thing anymore?
Both NFL and Google are evil and deserve no sympathy, but I wonder what’s the expectation here? Never change any slogan?
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.
