‘End Racism’: NFL to Continue Requiring Teams to Post Social-Justice End Zone Messages
National Review ^ | August 18, 2025 | KAMDEN MULDER

Posted on 08/21/2025 7:57:58 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

For the sixth consecutive season, the NFL will require teams to choose from a list of pre-approved social justice messages, such as “End Racism” and “Stop Hate,” to stencil in their end zones.

The league said the initiative coincides with other campaigns the NFL is involved with, including Salute to Service and Crucial Catch. Each team can select which phrase it would like displayed on the opposite end zone. Other options include “Choose Love” or “Inspire Change,” though all international games will feature the end zone messages “End Racism” and “It Takes All of Us.”

“For decades, the NFL and its players have been a unifying force in American culture and society that brings people of all cultures and backgrounds together to enjoy America’s most popular sport,” NFL senior vice president of social responsibility Anna Isaacson told The Associated Press.

“We’re working hand-in-hand with players, and alongside our clubs, to amplify player voices and underscore what is most important to them,” Isaacson said.

Recently, football viewership dropped by 2.2 percent throughout the 2024-25 season, with the league averaging 17.5 million views per game compared to a previous 17.9 million views.

In recent years, several professional athletes and major sports teams have used their platforms to promote political and social causes, prompting significant public blowback.

Some team should paint their end zone with “Choose Life.”

It’s way past time for a Bud Light/ Gillette boycott of the NFL.

As long as this garbage is funded by fans, it’s going to continue.

I only watch a few games now, I used to watch many more. The NFL is turning me off with their leftist politics.

Calling it “leftist politics” obscures the evil.

It is anti-white hate.

There should be zero tolerance for that garbage anywhere.

NFL quest to replace 'boomers with Swifties...

Sometimes it pays to be a Lion's fan...makes it easy to find other things to do.

The NFL should make their teams look like America, end racism and sexism.
