The National Football League first painted slogans like “End Racism” in the end areas in 2020 after a summer of racial tensions.
This specific message was abandoned for the super bowl last season, but others stayed.
Despite the league efforts to promote unity, the legend of the Brett Favre NFL believes that messages are counterproductive.

“I have the impression of maintaining a division position. They can say:” Well, we try to bring everyone together. “No, that doesn’t bring everyone together,” said Favre on “The Sage Steele Show” earlier this week. “There are a lot in this world and in this country, we can be better. And I think we continue to get better in certain things. But you create more division by talking about a problem that, I do not say, is not yet a problem, racism, but I think you could do more by not talking. Talk about unity and how far we came.
“There are those who say:” I faced this all the time. “And congratulations to the NFL.
The phrases “Choose Love” and “It takes all” were painted in the end zones of the Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys match on Thursday. These are the same messages painted during the victory of the Super Bowl of Eagles over the Chiefs of Kansas City, going from the message “End Racism”.

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said Athletics Before the Super Bowl, the decision arrived in the middle of the recent tragedies that have occurred in the United States since the beginning of 2025, including the terrorist attack in New Orleans, forest fires in the Los Angeles region and the murderous plane crash near a Washington airport, DC,.
“We estimated that it was an appropriate declaration for what the country has endured collectively, given the recent tragedies and can serve as inspiration,” he said at the point of sale.
McCarthy added that “end racism” was only seen during the victory of the NFC Eagles championship against Washington commanders. The AFC championship, in which the chiefs dominated buffalo bills, included the aforementioned sentences.

Before kick -off Thursday, the national black anthem was played, which received backlash on social networks.
“NFL, you have to stop opening the season by singing” the national black anthem “… We have a national anthem”, wrote a user on X.
“It is the most racist and the most awakened Pandering Bull S — which I have ever heard of,” said another.
