The NFL will feature social justice statements stenciled in each team’s end zone during games, league says
And Finally.The NFL, which up until recently had restricted its players from protesting on the field for social change, is going all in for the 2020 season.
League Commissioner Roger Goodell walked members of the media through a series of social justice initiatives the league has planned in a call on Tuesday, including helmet decals, a voter activation push, and phrases stenciled in the end zones.
Those phrases, Goodell said, include “It Takes All of Us” and “End Racism.” They will be stenciled in paint in each teams’ end zones all season long.
The NFL will also play the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing” – a song known as the Black national anthem – before games on opening weekend, while airing footage that showcases the social justice work of players and teams, Goodell said.
