3. When the NFL removes the "End Racism" sign for that reason,

it also proves that the NFL organization is racist to the core.

This is it, DUmp'Rats? This is your evidence that Donaldus Magnus is a racist?

From https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/nfl-will-remove-end-racism-end-zones-ahead-super-bowl-rcna190686 :

Quote
Throughout the 2024-25 season, NFL teams have advertised pro-diversity slogans at their stadiums and on their uniforms. The field stencils have been a part of the league since 2020, McCarthy said.

"Teams have used on the field this year 'Vote,' 'End Racism,' 'Stop Hate,' and 'Choose Love.' This is part of the NFL’s Inspire Change," he said.

At their conference championship games on Jan. 26, the Chiefs had "Choose Love" in their end zone and the Eagles had "End Racism."

The NFL said Tuesday that it would have stenciling only of the phrase "Choose Love." Sunday's game will be the first Super Bowl since February 2021 at which "End Racism" will not be in an end zone stencil.

"The Super Bowl is often a snapshot in time and the NFL is in a unique position to capture and lift the imagination of the country," McCarthy said.

He said the phrase is most fitting because of tragedies the country has endured in recent weeks.

"'Choose Love' is appropriate to use as our country has endured in recent weeks wild fires in southern California, the terrorist attack here in New Orleans, the plane and helicopter crash near our nation’s capital and the plane crash in Philadelphia," McCarthy said.

My emphasis. Unsurprisingly, context and the NFL's actual statement, ummmmmm, spoils the narrative DU-Denizens wish were true.

The NFL is racist you say? Makes me wonder why such a racist league would allow 60+% of its players to be black.

Editing to add: I don't know if that's the current percentage, but it is bandied about that it is in that range.

The Eagles' QB is black, and KC's QB is "biracial". The NFL's "color line" got broken in 1946 by the LA Rams.

On a website that I pay for access to (The Athletic, which is owned by the New York Times), here was this ridiculous article title:

Two Black QBs will start Super Bowl 59, but NFL diversity is still a work in progress

It isn't worth your or my time to post the whole blather (and I did read it), but was pleasantly surprised to see that over the 2,000 comments from the mostly leftist types who frequent that cesspool, 90% were ridiculing the premise.

Holy Frack! What is it with those people and race? Most of America isn't as obsessed as they are and yet they seem to think there's a Klan member behind every tree.

Yes, to the left "diversity" is still a work in progress as there are still White players in the game. When there are no White players full diversity will finally be attained.

If you're a member of a message board who thinks black folks are too stupid to make it on their own unless they get all sorts of special treatment then chances are that you're a racist.

Not to mention the fact that the vast majority of the musical talent in the pre-game and halftime shows was black.  Surely, somebody in the NFL will be asked why all the other racial groups were so under-represented since diversity is the supposed goal.  Maybe next year they plan to do nothing but all white acts to make up for it.  :whistling:

I knew a guy who smoked meth.  He was absolutely certain there were "tree people" (cops hiding behind trees) every time he got high.

Wonder what the DUmmies are smoking?

They want to keep racism a thing. It's historically been their #1 go-to card. But like paper straws, silent films, and Hillary,  the race-card's time is mostly over.
