Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach for whom the Super Bowl trophy is named after, returned in virtual form to get players and fans excited before the kickoff of Super Bowl LV.
A pre-produced video showed the "coach" walking through America's heartland giving a rousing pre-game speech. He wore his traditional hat, overcoat and glasses.
As the video ended, the virtual, deep fake form of Lombardi appeared on a stage at the corner of the end zone at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, where the Chiefs and Buccaneers were getting ready to play.
People on social media had strong thoughts about it, with one consistent critique comparing the virtual Lombardi to the hologram of late rapper Tupac Shakur.

So what were there? Five commercials with white people maybe? Just wasn’t enough, Lombardi had to be black to meet their quota? Disgraceful.
Bread and circuses
Honestly Vince Lombardi? Half these cupcakes in the league would have hurt feelings by the second week of training camp with his coaching style
I once met Vince Lombardi and he was not black.
Could have been James Earl Jones.
I thought it was supposed to be Louis Farrakhan.
Myself and my buddy, both just over 60 years old, turned and looked at each other and said “70% of the audience has no clue who that apparition even is”
Right after that part of the debacle know as the Super Bowl Corp. Commercialization of 2021 I left his house not to see one play of the actual game.
I was thinking that if someone from another country watched that game, and asked them what percentage of US residents were black, my guess is they would think 50-60%.
And those people would wonder how so few whites oppressed them still.
People don’t know what Vince Lombardi looked like anymore.
I swear, I don’t watch the Super Bowl each year and the day after it’s like hearing people talk about the NEW Star Wars film or Marvel Comics Universe film and trying to reverse engineer what the hell people are talking about.
Classic Vince: “WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON OUT HERE!!!? EVERYBODY GRABBIN’, NOBODY TACKLIN”! JUST GRABBIN’, EVERYBODY! GRAB, GRAB, GRAB, NOBODY TACKLIN’!”
He wan’t even in the video... what’d I miss?
Some folks see everything through their black glasses. Jesus was black. Vince Lombardi was black.
What a poor way to go through life.
May have well been cnn, nobody was watching.
It was disgusting and disrespectful.
I missed that piece of business, but did anyone notice that Lombardi crushed the Chiefs in Super bowl I?
Wokeness is just black racism.
The people doing all this are clueless. As such, they won’t be able to fix their problem. I’m fine with that!
