As part of the NFL's ongoing commitment to social justice programs, the messages "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism" will be stenciled on all end zone borders for home openers, the league office informed clubs in a memo Monday obtained by ESPN.
The two messages of inclusion, which will be stenciled on opposite end zones during kickoff week, are key elements of the league's broader, multifaceted rollout intended to highlight its efforts to support diversity and inclusion while the new season begins.
The end zone messages demonstrate "how football and the NFL brings people together to work as one and use our example and our actions to help conquer racism," the memo reads. The memo also confirms that players will have the option to wear helmet decals honoring victims of systemic racism.
"Each player will have the option to honor an individual by displaying that person's name via a decal on the back of their helmet," the memo reads. "Players will be offered a list of names and short biographical information to help guide their decision-making, however, they can also select a victim of systemic racism who is not represented on this list." If coaches desire, they can honor victims of systemic racism by wearing patches on their hats.
Additionally, the league will recognize essential workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We need to start labeling every picture like that as kneeling to the massa. Which is what these idiots are doing., Dont they know that standing for the national anthem was to signify the privilege of being a free man, not being forced to kneel in subservience to anyone except God? What fools they are. I bet their white leftist masters laugh at them in private.
I have gotten to the point where I will ask my bartender to change the channel if a football or basketball game is on the screen.
I have had enough. I will leave my drink and walk out if they refuse.
Way back when, Hill Street Blues had a scene where the “diversity department” or some such came in and told Furillo that he had to follow the ethnicity guidelines to the letter.
Furillo went to the squadroom and said “Okay guys, this book says I have to fire 2 Chinese, 5 Latinos, and 9 Blacks.
The “diversity” clown backtracked HOOOOOOOGELY.
Just like today. There really isn’t anything new under the sun, and while history doesn’t repeat exactly, it certainly rhymes.
Funny.
Never watched the show. I assume it was leftist.
I don’t watch the cop & detective shows after my beloved DVD sets of Dragnet,Untouchables,Racket Squad, Richard Diamond, Mike Hammer,Adam 12, State Trooper and others. Not later ones with one female,one black,one Latinx, and so on. Too much like my employer.
Finished with them
They should add “YEA YOU SUCK AMERICA!!!”
Marginally better than stenciling “Black Lives Matter” which is probably what they wanted to do.
Still not watching.
