NFL players can wear social justice messages on their helmets again this season and "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism" will be stenciled in end zones for the second straight year as part of the league's Inspire Change platform.

The league will also bring back the "Say Their Stories" initiative and for the first time, each team will highlight its social justice work during a regular-season home game in Weeks 17 and 18

As long as it doesn't actually impact the game I don't care.

I look forward to poorly written paragraphs about the NFL’s slow death from people who think things like “end racism” are controversial statements

Will the names of any of the 13 marines killed in Kabul be used? Will they "Say Their Stories"?

Are they still playing football on those fields with the end zones?

Yes, then I'll be watching. I can easily tune out anything I don't care about and watch football only.

They’re also still gonna display soldiers in every broadcast, have obnoxious 10000 square foot American flags, and have USAA as a major corporate partner.

Stop cherry-picking your outrage. You never mentioned “Salute to Service.”

I guess your downvotes mean you all ignore known facts.

Only in the US can we have a sport that allows hundreds of black men from any socio-economic background to earn more money than 99.9% of people will make in their lifetimes, all while playing in stadiums with thousands of white people adoring the black players, wearing their jerseys, etc, and still pretend we have a huge racism problem in this country.

Are their racists in this country? Sure. Of all skin colors. But the US is the most diverse and tolerant country in the course of human history. Yet, because things are BETTER, PEACEFUL and MORE TOLERANT than at any point in US history we have a very vocal portion of the population that is incredibly bored and DESPARATE to find a "crisis"...even if they have to create one that would not otherwise exist.

I’m syainng we’ve been there 20 years and have had hundreds of servicemen die. They all died serving their country equally.

I think we should honor all of them.

I was surprised how many guys refused to play fantasy due to this type of thing. Guys that have been in our league for 15+ years. They all said they're over the Social Justice grandstanding and refuse to watch/participate.
