The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.
The problem is that most “anti racism” campaigns are just low ganging “white men bad” bullshit. They don’t actually tackle the source of racism or actually do anything to help minorities, since that would cost actual money.
So they just attack white men, which alienates working class people because they are getting fucked by the system just like the rest of us schmoes.
In reality it’s another way to divide the working class against each other, because Cletus from Alabama is getting fucked just like Wayne from the Bronx, but they are both being pitted against each other by the ultra rich and mega corps.
The right latches onto the anger of Cletus and tells him it’s all Wayne’s fault the left rushes to the side of Wayne and tells him Cletus is a racist piece of shit that needs to be knocked down a peg.
Meanwhile, Chad is siphoning both their 401ks and laughing his ass off from his mansion.
Most MAGA people I have been forced to listen to, say there is only racism against whites. “Racism can only be a supremacist view” (not simply I just hate/suspect members of a race because…) and so accusing America of being racist “can only be an anti-white racist view”.
That NFL removes this, may, just may in the DEI advocate view, encourage whites to adopt supremacism instead of being angry that this “racism against whites” is the new NFL approved policy.
Now racism won’t end at the end zones!
Imagine that you managed to scrounge up the several thousand dollars needed to attend the super bowl. You and your fat wife pile into your lifted f250 and manage to park, get your BudLight™® and squeeze into your double wide seats. But, hark, you spy as Mahomes throws another uncontested touchdown: the NFL’s anti racist messaging has been removed from the end zone! How will you be able to dissuade your own white guilt as the black receiver shucks and jives in the end zone after making the catch for over one million dollars a year. A tear runs down your cheek, knowing that you should never have voted for Trump…
My consolation is that these motherfuckers are not ready for how hard the pendulum will swing back.
It will be a proper wrecking ball.
No it wont. Normal people are tired of being preached to when they are at a football game of all places. Ironically sports were at the vanguard of improving race relations in the United States. There’s something to be said for showing rather than telling.
I agree, what’s that timeline look like for you though? 4 years? 8 years? The “wait” is gonna fuckin’ suck.
Crossing my fingers for the first trans president, though.
2 years. Think positively, act positively, make it happen.
2/3 control of the House and a clear majority in the Senate. Not enough to make an impeachment stick, but more than enough to stop the madness.
Frankly I couldn’t tell you, but whatever the timeline is, I expect it will be much faster than before, as everything is.
There are a few very young politicians and new media commentators that know what’s up, and I think we should rally around them.
In the meantime, boycott as best as possible, build, develop and protect your community and funk up the authoritarian machinery at every turn possible.
The revolution will be federated.
There are very few young politicians, we need more.
“Funk up the authoritarian machinery at every turn possible.”
I’ll bring the drums 😎
Jokes aside, that sentence is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. “How can I cause the most disruption with the least harm?” lmfao No good answers yet, but I’ll keep pondering 🤔🫡
“How can I cause the most disruption with the least harm?”
If you haven’t voted in the past, start immediately.
First participate in the existing process fully.
Would be more honest had they only removed ‘End’
Can’t be offending the Racist of the United States of America.
I was going to go out and do some racist shit today, but I saw that the NFL wanted to end it, so now I’m seriously reconsidering said racist shit.
Alternate story: Racist was going to go out and harass somebody today, instead he saw “end racism” on the TV and had an aneurysm
I like a society that openly makes racists uncomfortable for their beliefs. It lets them know they’re unwelcome, even if it doesn’t change their mind.
Silence is agreement, afterall.
Oh, America.
Bend the knee, kiss the ring. These giant, greedy corporations are fucking pathetic…
Lick the boot.
These giant, greedy corporations are fucking pathetic…
Boycott, whenever you can. Research your choices: https://www.goodsuniteus.com/
Bend the knee
are you sure?
Also , the spineless viewers , musical artists, players, and advertisers that enable the whole event
Just stick an S in front, will give the same message and will be much cheaper!
Or a T
I think people are reading too much into this. They’re changing it to ‘Choose Love,’ as an obvious shot at the orange-haired man who’s never gotten a hug.
I just love Today combining the two events (changing it; 1st prez to go) to make it obvious why.
Not sure I understand the point of the NFL with these anti racism sayings.
Like is there anyone racist out there that reads these and changes their mind?
That’s not how racism works at all.
NFL can continue doing what they want I just don’t see the purpose.
In addition to what others said it sparks discussion when some asshole in the friend group complains about it and hopefully gets torn into or excommunicated or otherwise corrected by their peers
It also normalizes the idea by making it ever present. Even if people don’t directly act on it, the message is there being presented as the normal thing society does. It pushes anti racism towards being an ambient condition by exerting a (slight) social pressure.
The message isn’t to stop people from being racist. It’s to stop the racists from being part of their fanbase. Macho sports are really susceptible to concentrations of assholes and they need to be actively discouraged or they will take over.
Cowards.
Haha hope uncle kenny speaks on some o this
