“We Did It”: NFL Fans React To The League’s Decision On “End Racism” Signs In End Zones

Did the NFL end racism? Not quite, but they have made a decision on the statement.

For the first time since 2021, the NFL will not have the message included in the back of the end zone during the Super Bowl.

Sources told The Athletic that it will finally come to an end at Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Super Bowl 59 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will instead include the phrases “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us” at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The timing of this decision seems to be significant due to the fact that President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the game.

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy made it clear that the change was made due to “recent tragedies.”

Fans had a lot to say about the NFL making this shocking decision.

“I can’t believe Trump ended racism already. Best president ever IMO,” one fan said.

The ‘End Racism’ End Zone Paintings Began In 2020

For the first time in years, the Super Bowl will not feature the “end racism” message written in the back of one of the end zones.

It was a message that was written starting in 2020.

The NFL began displaying the messages as part of the “Inspire Change” campaign, and other messages included “It Takes All of Us,” “Stop Hate,” “Choose Love,” and “Vote.”
