🏈 Two league sources told The Athletic that the NFL will remove the “End Racism” slogan stenciled in the back of the end zone for the Super Bowl.
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said that the decision was based on sensitivity to recent tragedies, including the terrorist attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter in January, the deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area and the fatal air collision near Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.
“It Takes All of Us” will also appear in the end zone for this year’s Super Bowl.
“We felt it was an appropriate statement for what the country has collectively endured, given recent tragedies, and can serve as an inspiration,” said McCarthy, who noted that “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us” also appeared in the end zones for this year’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City. The NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia included “End Racism” as an end-zone slogan.

“It’s blatant and obvious…And I never thought I would say games are rigged…It’s unreal the amount of calls the Chiefs get,” Owens said on the It Is What It Is podcast.
