    Full Title:
    NFL to stencil 'End Racism' on end zone borders as part of social justice rollout for kickoff week

    For starters, the NFL is going full work. They should have stayed neutral.

    Second, where is all this racism? There is no racism. The people alive today were just as alive during the Obama years, so what happened to them and how did everyone, and I mean just about everyone, become a racist or a victim of it?

    Third, the average NFL ticket price is $151.00. Considering a person would need at least 2 tickets to attend a game (and who knows how much to park their car and buy snacks?), the NFL has priced out the people they claim are marginalized, disadvantaged and poor.

    Fourthly, we're told by BLM and the left there are two kinds of white people; those who admit their racism and atone for it, and those who refuse to admit they're racists. Is this the NFL's way of atoning for their racism?

    Fifth, notice how the word black in the article is capitalized. Why?

    Hopefully the black players will start making more in the league to be comparative to the white athletes...or they will be given more opportunities to play...or have an equal representation in the league commiserate with the American demographics. Maybe they should paint "don't beat your wives/girlfriends" in the end zone. Or "give whitey a chance at CB". But, you know, the NFL is really racist.

    They can offer free tickets and beer. I will not be attending or watching.

    The NFL is 75% black. They should end racism by hiring more whites, latinos and asians.

    So... is an affirmative action is coming to the professional sports? And why not, we already men playing against women and earning prizes... pretty soon we will see black sprinters starting 100 yards run 10 yards in front of whites. Why not?

    The NFL has lost me, too.

    Huh?

    WHO is going to pay for a ticket, if the NFL hasn't even decided whether or not fans are going to be allowed to attend?

    In any event, anybody who has a problem with the End Zone paint can stop watching (and/or attending).

    ^Problem solved,

    The NFL will never miss them.

    they should just ban NFL and make americans compete against the best in the world at real sports, NFL is too dangerous for a "sport".

    why you lot call it football is beyond believable.

    Who is "they"?

    What authority is going to MAKE Americans compete against anyone?

    Who determines what "real sports" are?

    If not for fantasy football the NFL would have the same amount of fans as women's basketball. Hopefully when some of those gangbangers in the NFL beat their women and children again this year we'll have a few 'women's lives matter' protests.

    I haven't watched an NFL game since the second player took a knee. They can do what they want as far as I am concerned. I'm not a part of it.

    I know, you worship the only real god and watch the only real sport. You're a real sport!

    Do you think MotoGP is dangerous?

    sport is about athleticism. sitting on your arse for an hour is not sport, a purest would agree, a vegetable not so much.

    I would have to respectfully disagree.

    That happens quite often in America's Pastime.

    You don't make any sense. Other than being an example of why forums have an IGNORE feature, do you have anything on topic?

    Why does everyone have to join in in the "I'm offended" club? Their offended because of their perspective and other are offended because their offended..... PC culture to the max
