Many of their stadiums are provided using taxpayer dollars. These arrangements should be rescinded so long as they insist on insulting their fans.The NFL is a government protected monopoly.I just decided I won't be watching any football this season, or perhaps ever.
As part of the NFL's ongoing commitment to social justice programs, the messages "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism" will be stenciled on all end zone borders for home openers, the league office informed clubs in a memo Monday obtained by ESPN.The two messages of inclusion, which will be stenciled on opposite end zones during kickoff week, are key elements of the league's broader, multifaceted rollout intended to highlight its efforts to support diversity and inclusion while the new season begins.The end zone messages demonstrate "how football and the NFL brings people together to work as one and use our example and our actions to help conquer racism," the memo reads. The memo also confirms that players will have the option to wear helmet decals honoring victims of systemic racism."Each player will have the option to honor an individual by displaying that person's name via a decal on the back of their helmet," the memo reads. "Players will be offered a list of names and short biographical information to help guide their decision-making, however, they can also select a victim of systemic racism who is not represented on this list." If coaches desire, they can honor victims of systemic racism by wearing patches on their hats.Additionally, the league will recognize essential workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NFL is a private business in a free country, they can do as they please.
No on is forced to watch this.
they have been given special treatment, so that they could provide entertainment to the fans.
not so they can insult the fans and the nation with that asshole accusations.
they want to abuse the special privileges they have been given?
time to take those privileges away.
that would be step one. i'm not even sure what other protections that have, but they should all be rescinded.
