Shame on the NFL and their feckless commissioner Roger Goodell for the decision to remove the End Racism sign in the back of the end zone for Sunday’s Super Bowl. This is in apparent reaction to Trump attending the game and fear of not offending the advocate-in-chief of white supremacy and anti-DEI initiatives.
The NFL plans to replace the anti-racism sign with a Choose Love sign as if they were somehow mutually exclusive propositions. The new sign would have been a perfect compliment (not replacement) to the existing message of resistance to racism and racists everywhere. In the wake of this appalling decision, I implore the players to take a knee in defiance to the current administration, to the league where they work, and to the pernicious existence/resurgence of racism clearly evident here and throughout this troubled world.
