NFL will remove ‘End Racism’ from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl
The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.

Legit question. What happens if every single black player just REFUSES to play at the superbowl?
Like, lets say you get opening kickoff, and it's a white guy kicker. So he kicks the ball. It lands at about the 15 yard line. And just NOBODY even attempts anything. They all just stand there, pointing at the endzones.
And it's both teams. I don't know exact numbers, but I'd guess every teams roster is 90%+ black.
And since it's both teams, you can't call one side a forfeit.
I think they should. Embarass the NFL on the biggest stage. The game is Feb 9th. This would be the lead story Feb 10th. They either repaint it back onto the endzones DURING the game, reschedule the game, or the whole game is 0-0, with a clock running down for 3 hours.
What would the NFL do?
they’ve been working their entire lives to get to play that game. they won’t just quit now that they’re finally there.
Unfortunately, those players make so much money that it moves them into the big club that we ain't in. Not a lot of class/race solidarity there, from what I've seen...just solidarity with whatever gets them paid.
Which I guess makes sense. The sport itself is extremely predatory, preying on young, very poor (usually) black men, offering them the promise of wealth they wouldn't normally have access to—if they just sell their bodies and physical health to the wealthier white men who own them. So they work their asses off all through high school and college to hopefully have the chance at the NFL; joining the league literally becomes the culmination of their life's work.
Not many want to actually rock that boat.
Fire all black people and somehow fault them for the whole thing.
At least if the rest of the country does not show solidarity and doesn't organize a general strike - which is illegal by the way.
Fire every black person in the NFL??? Hooooooooboy.
2026 headline. "NFL viewership falls to 3. As in there are now 3 people still watching."
Point taken.
Just don't pay them, get them arrested and lease them back from the prisons. Slavery is legal in the US after all.
Pretty sure Adam Sandler produced a documentary about that years ago.
Why are people talking about a general strike in the USA? Surely you must realise everyone is too busy keeping their heads above water.

As opposed to the other general strikes done in times of plenty and happiness?
The French understand the concept of worker solidarity though.
Yeah but Americans have fought back before, too, just not Gen-X or Millenials.
Look at the years on those. American workers gave up and gave in from 67 till 83, and then never did it again. It's sad.
Our healthcare is tied to our work here in America. Losing that kind of safety net is scary, especially when you will be beaten by police for protesting, and now you need to go to the hospital.

And general strikes were how you got any health care, time off, better work hours, work safety, etc. The fact is, we're at the point where people have to do this, and it sucks, and no the boomers didn't, but some of their parents may have (depending where you're from.)
The fact is Americans believe the narrative that they can't strike because they'll 'lose too much,' but the reality is they'll lose it anyway. A Fascist Oligarch is literally stealing their SSN's and personal info to put them on lists and they're still saying "yeah man but if I don't work my shift at waffle house I won't make rent." What about when decide you're not white enough to work? Or not white enough to cross the street? Or that women aren't allowed to do that job anymore? Or when they just arrest you because you looked at a cop at the wrong time?
Kids being born just to throw onto the wage slavery pile, the worst healthcare of any peer nation (and most below), leading cause of death for pregnant women is being shot by their partners, concentration camps being set up, an entire middle class gone and replaced with people a hundred bucks from destitution, a child's most likely cause of death is gun violence in their schools, super PACs, Citizens United, the Patriot Act, skyrocketing rental costs, skyrocketing grocery costs, and you just roll over for all of it.
What WOULD it take for you guys to do something?
General strikes usually happen when people realize that they won't be able to keep doing that.
What the fuck? No wonder Trump is doing whatever the fuck he wants, Americans are too busy thinking about losing some of the comfort if they try raising their voice.
General strike and massive protests should have happened days ago.
It is beyond surreal that he is just face fucking everyone right now, and noone is doing anything. Because they are worried about losing their comfort.
Just wait a bit longer and you won't have any comfort left anyway.
Honey, sweetheart, half the population voted for him. He won the popular vote.
Half the population would work as scabs for free.
Honey, sweetheart, I used to fight the fucking police during protests, over the course of years, in pretty much authoritarian society, where I was a minority by any means. We eventually won.
Americans are fucking cowards.For all the talk about their guns and bravery and freedom and all that shit, they are just paper tigers. Americans got comfortable and would now rather suck a dick than suffer some discomfort. Fucking representatives writing strongly worded posts on Twitter or BlueSky instead of raising hell on the streets. Incredible.
Also, 33% of eligible voters voted for Trump, so don't act as if he has some massive majority.
Every single Black player. They're a team, and I'm willing to believe they respect each other enough to stand still for each other.
Hire all white people and the trump Nazis are perfectly happy?
This would be fucking awesome.
So awesome it'll never happen, but it'd make a great scene for Remember the Titans 2.
They shouldn't be so political!
I'm glad to see you bought a copy of my book! Would you like me to sign it for you?
As the literal president who started the whole thing sits in the stands. Hopefully getting boo'd.
Here's the nazi!
I'd love them to take a knee at the anthem. I hope someone or many do.
Have you ever watched Rollerball (1975)?
