The NFL end zone messages will contain for a sixth consecutive season. The initiative, which started in the autumn of 2020 during the Black Lives Matter movement, gives teams the option to choose between “end racism”, “Stop Hate”, “Choose Love” or “Inspire Change” in one end zone. The other end zone will contain the message: “It takes us all.”
Although each of these messages is Vapid and Cliché, they have now felt outdated for years, a remains of the Woke Sports era that started in the NFL, when Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem in 2016.
Now, nine years away from the gesture, most NFL fans prefer to return the competition to easily concentrate on football instead of using the field to make a political explanation at all. But although I prefer to remove messages such as it from the field, if the NFL is going to use the End Zone messages again this season, they must add one choice: give teams the option to record “Back the Blue”.
Colin Kaepernick did not only refuse to stand for the national anthem. He referred to the police as modern slave catchers, wore socks to NFL practices decorated with the police depicted as pigs, and said in his press conferences after the game that the police focused on black people and regularly got away from killing them. These were all lies that served to harm the relationship of the NFL with the police, but it was not only Colin Kaepernick who denigrated the police.

Why does the NFL always get away with so ‘woke up?’
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell did that too.
While the defense fled the police movement, the NFL unfortunately did not support the police as it should. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell even COLIN KAEPERNICK PROPOLE Public in 2020: “I wish we had listened to before, Kaep, to what you knelt and what you tried to draw attention to. We had invited him several times to have the conversation, to have the dialogue. I wish we had the advantage of that. We never did it. We would have benefited from it. Absolutely.”

Goodell also encouraged protests against the police.
The NFL was deep wrong.
As the data reflected, one of the sad realities of the Black Lives Matter era was that more black lives were taken by murder than at any other time in the 21st century.
From 2020 to 2021, when the NFL posted his messages on the field, the murder figures shot up with a rate that has never been seen by the FBI before. Thousands of more people may have died in 2020, 2021 and 2022, then if the police were supported and their work was allowed to do.
NFL’s virtue signaling just touches an embarrassing new low point
Five years later, as the murder figures finally start to fall, the hard -working police is the main reason why.
Placing bad guys of all races in prison – and they keep there – makes us all safer. The NFL gives teams the opportunity to acknowledge this fact, would go a long way to restore the relationship between the competition and the police that was exacerbated by Kaepernick’s lies and Goodell’s approval of those lies.
