The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.
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…
My consolation is that these motherfuckers are not ready for how hard the pendulum will swing back.
It will be a proper wrecking ball.
Can’t be offending the Racist of the United States of America.
Bend the knee, kiss the ring. These giant, greedy corporations are fucking pathetic…
Also , the spineless viewers , musical artists, players, and advertisers that enable the whole event
Bend the knee
are you sure?
Bend both knees or neither
Would be more honest had they only removed ‘End’
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.
I like a society that openly makes racists uncomfortable for their beliefs. It lets them know they’re unwelcome, even if it doesn’t change their mind.
Silence is agreement, afterall.
Alternate story: Racist was going to go out and harass somebody today, instead he saw “end racism” on the TV and had an aneurysm
Oh, America.
Just stick an S in front, will give the same message and will be much cheaper!
Or a T
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.
I just love Today combining the two events (changing it; 1st prez to go) to make it obvious why.
Well, the NFL did it. They ended racism.
Didn’t they just end “ending 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
For real. NFL is a business, and every decision they make must tip the scale of “will this make us money”.
Considering it’s an American company yes, for the rest of the world there are other factors that contribute besides just profit
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.
In addition to what others said it sparks discussion when some asshole in the friend group complains about it and hopefully gets torn into or excommunicated or otherwise corrected by their peers
It also normalizes the idea by making it ever present. Even if people don’t directly act on it, the message is there being presented as the normal thing society does. It pushes anti racism towards being an ambient condition by exerting a (slight) social pressure.
The message isn’t to stop people from being racist. It’s to stop the racists from being part of their fanbase. Macho sports are really susceptible to concentrations of assholes and they need to be actively discouraged or they will take over.
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?
Hire all white people and the trump Nazis are perfectly happy?
Unfortunately, those players make so much money that it moves them into the big club that we ain’t in. Not a lot of class/race solidarity there, from what I’ve seen…just solidarity with whatever gets them paid.
Which I guess makes sense. The sport itself is extremely predatory, preying on young, very poor (usually) black men, offering them the promise of wealth they wouldn’t normally have access to—if they just sell their bodies and physical health to the wealthier white men who own them. So they work their asses off all through high school and college to hopefully have the chance at the NFL; joining the league literally becomes the culmination of their life’s work.
Not many want to actually rock that boat.
Have you ever watched Rollerball (1975)?
Every single
Blackplayer. They’re a team, and I’m willing to believe they respect each other enough to stand still for each other.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.
Pretty sure Adam Sandler produced a documentary about that years ago.
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?
Our healthcare is tied to our work here in America. Losing that kind of safety net is scary, especially when you will be beaten by police for protesting, and now you need to go to the hospital.

And general strikes were how you got any health care, time off, better work hours, work safety, etc. The fact is, we’re at the point where people have to do this, and it sucks, and no the boomers didn’t, but some of their parents may have (depending where you’re from.)
The fact is Americans believe the narrative that they can’t strike because they’ll ‘lose too much,’ but the reality is they’ll lose it anyway. A Fascist Oligarch is literally stealing their SSN’s and personal info to put them on lists and they’re still saying “yeah man but if I don’t work my shift at waffle house I won’t make rent.” Will you when they decide you’re not white enough to work? Or not white enough to cross the street? Or that women aren’t allowed to do that job anymore? Or when they just arrest you because you looked at a cop at the wrong time?
Kids being born just to throw onto the wage slavery pile, the worst healthcare of any peer nation (and most below), leading cause of death for pregnant women is being shot by their partners, concentration camps being set up, an entire middle class gone and replaced with people a hundred bucks from destitution, a child’s most likely cause of death is gun violence in their schools, super PACs, Citizens United, the Patriot Act, skyrocketing rental costs, skyrocketing grocery costs, and you just roll over for all of it.
What WOULD it take for you guys to do something?
The French understand the concept of worker solidarity though.
Yeah but Americans have fought back before, too, just not Gen-X or Millenials.
Look at the years on those. American workers gave up and gave in from 67 till 83, and then never did it again. It’s sad.
General strikes usually happen when people realize that they won’t be able to keep doing that.
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.
Honey, sweetheart, half the population voted for him. He won the popular vote.
Half the population would work as scabs for free.
Honey, sweetheart, I used to fight the fucking police during protests, over the course of years, in pretty much authoritarian society, where I was a minority by any means. We eventually won.
Americans are fucking cowards.For all the talk about their guns and bravery and freedom and all that shit, they are just paper tigers. Americans got comfortable and would now rather suck a dick than suffer some discomfort. Fucking representatives writing strongly worded posts on Twitter or BlueSky instead of raising hell on the streets. Incredible.
Also, 33% of eligible voters voted for Trump, so don’t act as if he has some massive majority.
This would be fucking awesome.
So awesome it’ll never happen, but it’d make a great scene for Remember the Titans 2.
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?

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
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.
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.
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.
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!
