NFL to feature social justice messages on end zones in every stadium as Goodell says league will 'not relent'
by Emma Colton, Social Media Manager | September 02, 2020 09:54 AM
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell doubled down on the league's support for Black Lives Matter activism, including featuring social justice messages on end zones.
“The NFL stands with the black community, the players, clubs, and fans,” Goodell said Tuesday. “We will not relent in our work.”
“Confronting recent systemic racism with tangible and productive steps is absolutely essential ... We will redouble our efforts to be catalysts for the urgent and sustainable change that our society and communities so desperately need," he continued.
I wonder if Roger Goodell will address the systemic racism of black players that think Hews control the world
My DH is die hard football fan.....will not watch or support, any more. See how far they get with the blm support. Think they will be buying tickets?. How are these black players, going to react, without their big payday.
Last I checked, we don't watch football to see the news.
Professional athletes are talking themselves right out of jobs, which is a good thing; then they see what it's like trying to eat on an activist non-salary.
The NFL have been marketing gurus for decades, trying to shovel their new look offensive minded rule changes on fans.
Now might be a good time to begin a new professional league, focused solely on the game.
Their ratings may be higher than the No Fun League.
There are no crowds in the stands. I wonder how that factors in. The crowds would boo, cheer, heckle... who knows...but it wouldn't be all neat and clean. Without any real time human feedback, they can just do anything. They are in a vacuum of their own wokeness.
This is one of the worst things about this pandemic---things happening in artificial situations devoid of normal human interaction.
Systemic racism is in the NFL. How many Asian players? How many Hispanic? We need affirmative action to make the players more diverse.
