INSIDER: NFL needs to bench divisive social justice propaganda

Views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.

Apparently, the NFL hasn’t yet gotten the message that the “woke” era is over because once again, the country will be subjected to social justice messaging from a league that takes great pride in promoting left-wing politics.

The 2025 preseason is now in week two with less than a month before the real action kicks off and once again, there will be propagandistic slogans painted in the end zones during games, a divisive and unnecessary addition that spoils the enjoyment for fans, most of them hard working stiffs who only want to kick back, drink a few beers and escape from the grind for one afternoon a week.

This week, it was announced that after a brief respite for Super Bowl LIX when it was refreshingly missing, “END RACISM” is back with a vengeance and will be one of the messages displayed to viewers every time a team scores a touchdown, making it impossible to just enjoy the action on the field without being gang tackled by the political activists at NFL headquarters.

Powerful: The NFL will be bringing back end zone social justice messages for its sixth consecutive season.

All 32 teams’ endzones must feature:

“End Racism”
“Stop Hate”
“Inspire Change”
“Choose Love”

For the sixth season – a tradition that the league adopted during President Donald J. Trump’s first term  – the slogans will be mandatory for teams, with other choices being “Stop Hate,” “Choose Love,” or “Inspire Change” and “It Takes All of Us.”

The fact that racism still exists – and has become institutionalized by Democrats and the political left – would seem to suggest that the league’s insufferable virtue signaling has been a failure, unless it has never been a point to evangelize for social change, and more about shaming whitey which became a national sport after criminal junkie George Floyd perished while resisting arrest.

The NFL just proved it’s a puppet for social justice nonsense.

End zones filled with slogans won’t change a thing.

This is virtue signaling, zip, zero, nada.

The game is about football, not leftist propaganda.

Wake up and smell the manipulation. https://t.co/GjeXtbz2qc

When the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles take the field against the hated division rival Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field in the regular season opener on Thursday night, September 4, in the “City of Brotherly Love,” there will once again be a soaring rendition of the so-called “Black National Anthem” which the league now showcases before its big national games.

Is all of this really necessary?

The Super Bowl halftime shows used to feature bands and performers who were actually popular with a wide segment of the population before turning almost exclusively to vulgarians and gangsta rappers, with the last Super Bowl treating the biggest television audience of the year to the foul antics of Kendrick Lamar.

Prior to the league’s pivot during the first Trump administration, the crowd-pleasing halftime shows were a veritable Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Who, U2, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Madonna, and Aerosmith, among others.

Times changed, and sure as hell not for the better.

Long a unifying experience that at least for a few hours could be enjoyed by fans of all races, classes and creeds who shared a common love for their favorite team and a sport that long ago replaced baseball as the national pastime, the NFL under Commissioner Roger Goodell has become just another institution that has been corrupted and perverted by leftism, the national cancer.

“We’re working hand-in-hand with players, and alongside our clubs, to amplify player voices and underscore what is most important to them,” Anna Isaacson, NFL senior vice president of social responsibility, told the Associated Press. “For decades, the NFL and its players have been a unifying force in American culture and society that brings people of all cultures and backgrounds together to enjoy America’s most popular sport.”

It’s time for the NFL to bench the politics and get back to what it used to be, a great patriotic league that once exemplified the best that America had to offer.
