Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Good. Black lives matter too. 13 1
machine gun kelly Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Hey, if it helps, fine. Why worry about it? I’m all for black lives matter, as well as all lives matter. If this helps people, then great. 2
Jdragon2 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) This is not the big deal that some people on here are going to make it. It's a good message. Edited September 1, 2020 by Jdragon2 3
TroutDog Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 What a shift from Roger. This would NEVER have happened in the not so recent past. Glad he wisened up. 5
Kirby Jackson Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 That’s it I’m done with this league!! I like my politics and sports separate!! It is an escape for me. Shut up and dribble!! They want to “end racism?!?” What’s next they are going to come take our guns?!? LAW & ORDER!! 4 21 4 1
SCBills Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) No issue with this at all. This is also nothing like the NBA. You can push a positive message and not alienate people. So far, I think the NFL has found that balance. Edited September 1, 2020 by SCBills 6
H2o Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 Personally, I don't stand with BLM for reasons that I will not divulge into because this is not PPP. I don't have a problem with these in the endzone though. You can't be mad at "End Racism" and "It Takes All Of Us". Any person who cares about his fellow human beings shouldn't see color to begin with. It does take all of us being responsible for and carrying ourselves in that manner. 8 2
Orlando Buffalo Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I don't think end racism is a social justice idea. I think this is Godell riding the line between placating the SJW and pissing off conservatives. 1
machine gun kelly Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 H2O. No one deserves to know you’re politics or social values, but I applaud you for you’re stance. I agree you’re politics are yours and no one else, but I don’t know how to go against a message saying end racism. I just added to it in All Lives Matter. I just don’t know how people oppose saying, be fair to everyone. I think almost everyone kn this board defines that.
Dragoon Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 They’re so out of touch with working class Americans. 1

dwight in philly Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Just now, Captain Hindsight said: Good thing they just said "end racism" and "it takes all of us" then..... Who said end all racism?
Magox Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I don't oppose this at all. And I'm just glad that this will end racism. 5 2
HamSandwhich Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 “End Racism” is actually a good way to put it. It is not stating that racism is systemic, just that racism should end, which I agree with. Racism should be stamped out when it happens, it is not systemic, but there are dummies that continue to practice it. “It takes all of us” is along the same line. I would agree that it takes all of us to call it out when ACTUAL racism happens in our lives. I do not stand with BLM but agree with the idea that black lives matter in the literal sense. Of course they do! 1
