The NFL will have messages in support of Black Lives Matter and racial justice such as “End Racism” and “It Takes All of Us” displayed on players’ helmets and on playing fields during the opening games of the 2020 season.
Names of some black victims will also be stamped on players’ helmets.
“The NFL informed clubs today of plans to amplify its social justice initiatives, including helmet decals and signage in end zones for kickoff games and club home openers,” NFL reporter Tom Pelissero wrote on Twitter.

I grew up watching NFL with my dad. It was a thing we did... for years.
But this is just garbage. Screw them and their racial propaganda.
Haven’t watch NFL football for years, other than a few highlights on Youtube. Hasn’t been good for a long time.
Used to watch the women’s teams (Legends Football League) until that folded this year after 11 years. Some of the games were not bad at all. It’s fun watching people play mostly because they love to play & are competitive and not because they’re spoiled jerks just showing up to pick up a multi-million dollar paycheck.
There’s a report posted on FreeRepublic that a cable talk show (Tucker Carlson) viewership last Friday had more viewers than ESPN had for 3 MLB games combined.
American Sports leagues are killing their own organizations with Leftist Virtue Signalling.
So far, Hockey has not joined in the suicide pact. At least I’m not aware of any such BS from the NHL.
“Plus the announcers will never shut up about it either”
yep ... and that’s the most annoying part of the whole deal ... if it was writing on stuff, one could ignore it, but not the announcers yammering incessantly about it ...
my household is done with the NFL, as are many of my friends who WERE diehard fans ...
And still too many conservatives will continue to follow this and other pro sports. If not right away, within a few years. Just like after the Kaepernick debacle.
Back in 2016 the Dallas Cowboys asked the NFL for permission to wear a helmet decal to honor five Dallas police officers who had recently been killed in the line of duty.
The NFL denied that request.
By the way, those five slain police officers were killed at a BLM protest.

Only High School. And that’s only because no one from my Alma Mater has kneeled yet. I live in a small mostly white mountain town.
Hear Hear...Inclusivity needs to be the number 1 mission of the NFL. Far to long have Asian Americans, Latin Americans, Indian Americans, Transgender Americans, Midget Americans, and White Americans been excluded from spots on the team rosters.
FUNFL
I think the NHL will eventually bow to pressure too, sadly.
The NFL is committing suicide.
The only people who will care about the NFL in the future are gamblers.
So long mfl!!!!
Bastards take away any enjoyment they can, the left and anyone involved with them
There will be no NFL season this year, so paint away.
Turn out the lights, the party’s over.
Yep. They will spend 5 minutes talking about BLM than (assuming they have fans in the stands) after the cheers or boos stop go oh, it looks like The Washington Football Team scored some points, anyway, back to BLM...
