Could it be that the National Football League (NFL) is at long last getting its act together after years of bending the knee to the woke mob?
Maybe.
In what could be seen as a positive sign that the NFL is moving away from its Colin Kaepernick-inspired years of embracing the woke—and abandoning the fans—the league has apparently made the decision to do away with the incredibly divisive “End Racism” messaging that has adorned end zones in recent years.

RedState Sports Report: Yes, Kansas City Is in the Super Bowl. Again.
The new messages, which, truthfully, are only marginally better, will appear in the end zones of the Superdome this Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
According to two league sources, Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will mark the first time since February 2021 that “End Racism” is not included as a message in the back of a Super Bowl end zone. Instead, “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us” will be stenciled onto the back of the end zones at the Caesars Superdome.
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said the message change seemed appropriate as New Orleans, the host city, is still reeling from the New Year’s Day terror attack on Bourbon Street.
“We felt it was an appropriate statement for what the country has collectively endured, given recent tragedies, and can serve as an inspiration,” said McCarthy, who noted that “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us” also appeared in the end zones for this year’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City.
Many conservatives abandoned the NFL after it began changing the rules and implementing procedures that prioritized skin color over skill and experience. Players like Kaepernick began sporting attire with anti-police messaging and some took a knee when the National Anthem was sung before games; a few even refused to be on the field during the anthem. Let’s face it, we were looking at a bunch of spoiled brat millionaires very hypocritically ginning up a faux controversy over race. There was good money in that scam, to which the Black Lives Matter cabal can attest.

And NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was all in on it, thus the “End Racism” end zone messages and other DEI-centric flourishes that appeared at every game. Goodell seems wedded to DEI, unfortunately, based on his recent comments:
“We got into diversity efforts because we felt like it was the right thing for the National Football League, and we’re going to continue those efforts because we’ve not only convinced ourselves, we’ve proven ourselves, that it does make the NFL better,” Goodell said. “We’re not in this because it’s a trend to get in or a trend to get out of it.
“Our efforts are fundamental in trying to attract the best possible talent in the National Football League, both on and off the field, as I said previously. We see that. We see how it benefits the National Football League, and so I think we’ll continue those efforts.”
But, as with all businesses, money talks loudest in the NFL. The recent crop of superstars, such as quarterback Jayden Daniels right here in Washington, D.C., playing for the Commanders seem to be polar opposites of the corrosive elements of the league (such as has-been Colin Kaepernick) who always put themselves ahead of their team. No, Daniels and many other high-profile players have distinguished themselves by consistently giving all the glory to God when asked to comment on their play. That’s a refreshing change, and you can bet that Roger Goodell will abandon the racism and embrace Christianity if that’s where the money is at.
