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.

End the NFL.Maybe that should be painted on the street in front of one of these taxpayer funded football stadiums.
Nah, don’t want to do that. Trump needs indoor and outdoor venues for rallies. (Just kidding, I doubt he would even go there.)
Me too, but I am done
Where did they get these idiots that run the NFL
We can have a new haunted jail...
Of course they’ll never mention that many blacks and other minorities are some of the most racist people on earth. They’re actually throwbacks to a different time, whereas most whites have moved beyond being racist in any way shape or form.
Myself and the rest of America are getting sick and tired of this crap always being pushed out by the liberals and the media.
I don’t need sports stars, or their filthy rich team owners lecturing me on morality and fair treatment. It would be much better for me to go running or biking during whatever time I might have spent sitting and watching professional sports.
Billion dollar Marxists
The alternative to pro sports is I dont care.
Can you believe the high anxiety/angst among some Freepers re what is happening with their pro sport Gods?
end all racism....
End BLM? Nothing any more racist than that.
Yep!
The NFL is a form of corruption that really ought to die, even without the political crapola.
Bring back the USFL baby! Mike Ditka for Commissioner, John Elway spokesperson, Trump for President!
Agree. They know they're getting killed in social media and nightly reports of burn, loot and murder in Portland and Seattle and other places are illustrating what blm really stands for.
To sum it up....whitey bad, black good.
That is a great message...End Racism.
Because the players on the field know what being a minority involves.
Not enough white guys./s
Yep, no more violence against young, black women
Dogs chase balls.
woof-woof, gentlemen, you’ve just screwed the pooch. Buh-bye.
We know what the players think of us.
