I’d like to see some NFL teams wear ‘Prevent Election Fraud’ stickers on their helmets and paint ‘Protect Our Borders’ in the end zones.

Not necessarily pandering the NFL is trying to guilt you into voting a certain way.

I like the NFL better when they stay out of politics.

At face value, of course it isn't. However, things like this present this issue as if it's a divisive one. As if it's something every decent person doesn't already agree on. It wouldn't be that different than painting "End Nazism" in the endzone.

That would get people thinking hmm... I guess there's a bunch of Nazis out there

And as already mentioned, I think this is way more about politics than race, which is the main reason people find it so annoying.

No, but it’s a dumb sentiment and a gateway to even more stupid ideals

It’s like saying end sin

FIFY. This seems like one of those “everyone is laughing at you, not with you” moments.

Sigh. I just don’t get people like you. Does racism exist? Sure. Is it the most important thing we need to end, so important that it needs to be on the nfl endzone? No. It’s pandering

Why put end racism instead of “end child rape”? I mean it’s just silly

The MSB a could do it’s part by not melting and starting threads about how every random song they don’t know during a televised sporting event is the Black National Anthem.

That would be a good start.

What's retarded about putting it there in the first place is that when do you ever remove it? Will racism ever be ended? Pretty sure the answer is no, so I guess it stays up forever?

Premier league in England stopped kneeling before matches so either racism is solved or they don’t care anymore.


I believe a lot of the players stopped doing it on their own. There were definitely a few black players who felt it had run it’s course.

Yes because in America we all know statements like this are only geared towards ending racism against black people, everyone else is ignored.

Much like racist policies that are currently being implemented, once they stick you'll never be able to get rid of them

Yep

Pretty cringey, to be honest.

1 out of every 10 Bee articles might give me a chuckle

How about some “Bush did 9/11” or “Q” memorabilia or blurry Bigfoot photos while we’re at it

How about "End Domestic Violence." It's far more pressing an issue and the NFL has its fair share of purveyors.
