The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.

    I was going to go out and do some racist shit today, but I saw that the NFL wanted to end it, so now I’m seriously reconsidering said racist shit.

      I like a society that openly makes racists uncomfortable for their beliefs. It lets them know they’re unwelcome, even if it doesn’t change their mind.

      Silence is agreement, afterall.

        Making racists openly uncomfortable without changing their minds just makes them use dog-whistles, sneakier tactics, and play martyr; and when the ruling authorities (like the government, powerful corporations, world leaders) fuck up, racists can just take advantage of that. The great irony is that “End Racism” is doing everything but actually ending racism, because actually ending racism would be a threat to a lot of people in power, namely the police who rely on fear of Black people, mega-corporations who scapegoat Jews, countless corporations who rely on prison labor, ICE agents who’d be put out of a job if immigrants were welcomed in, and so on and so forth. Racists, from 2008 to 2024, were not foreign, dangerous wolves who needed to be shoved back into the forest. They were rich, well-respected, and relied on racism for their powerful position in society.

        I prefer a society that doesn’t pay lip-service to the agendas of adults who never grew up.

        Seriously. So many people on the left just sit around and look for anything they can complain about on the internet to support their agenda.

        It’s disgusting, a waste of time, and only exist to stroke their fragile egos.

        It’s also sad watching you people say going back to what we did before we started appeasing these children is what makes us fragile? Lol. It definitely reinforces my view of the average person at this point.

        Hypocrites and scumbags on both sides of the aisle.

      Alternate story: Racist was going to go out and harass somebody today, instead he saw “end racism” on the TV and had an aneurysm
