Lifelong football enjoyer here, but I can no longer stomach the NFL anymore. I realize the league is, and has always been, an entertainment business but they don’t even bother hiding the massaging anymore. They’re clearly feeling threatened by the fact that college football is more interesting now with the CFP and transfer portal, so they’re desperate for dramatic narratives. wilL iT BE A ThREEPeAT? wILL keLCe PrOposE to tayLOR SWIfT? dID wE MEnTIon TAyLOR swIFT iS HEre?

Anyways, good thing I got into rugby recently cuz it’s Six Nations time

    They removed “end racism” from the end zones so no, I will not be supporting an organization that is pro-racism.

    Honestly I stopped years ago due to how they handle concussions/injuries and just generally how vile the org is. But one more reason lol

      I thought those were different at every stadium kinda like the helmet messages where they get picked by the player. Don’t the teams pick what is on the end zones? I have season tickets to the Bills and have never noticed the endzone message say stop racism I’ve never actually looked at the message so I don’t know exactly what it says but I think their message was always “Stop hate”

      Yeah, that was another “they’re not even trying to hide it anymore” moment, considering they made that announcement right after Trump announced he would be at the game.

      The wildest part of that press release was when the NFL spokesperson said that “Choose Love” was more fitting than “End Racism” because the country has been dealing with tragedies such as the LA fire and the DC plane crash. Like… how will choosing love prevent natural disasters and vehicle accidents?
