The National Football League painted for the first time as “end of racism” in the final areas in 2020 after a summer of racial tensions.
That specific message was abandoned for the February Super Bowl, but others remained.
Despite the efforts of the league to promote unity, the legend of the NFL Brett Favre feels that the messages are counterproductive.

“I feel they are maintaining a divisive position. They can say: ‘Well, we are trying to unite everyone.’ No, that is not to unite everyone,” said Favre in “The Sage Steele Show” earlier this week.
“There are many things in this world and in this country where we can be better. And I think we continue to improve in certain things. But you are creating more division when talking about a problem that I do not say that it is not yet a problem, racism, but I think you could do more when not talking about it. Talk about unity and how much we have arrived.
“There are those who say: ‘I have faced this all the time.’ And congratulations to the NFL.
The phrases “Choose love” and “It Takes Al OS” were painted in the final areas of the confrontation of the cowboys of Filadelphia Eagles-Dallas on Thursday. Those were the same messages painted during the Eagles Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City bosses, changing the message “final of racism.”

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said The Atlético Before the Super Bowl, the decision was made after the US tragedies since the beginning of 2025, including the terrorist attack in New Orleans, forest fires in the Los Angeles area and the mortal plane accident near a Washington airport, DC.
“We feel it was an appropriate statement for what the country has supported collectively, given recent tragedies, and can serve as an inspiration,” he told The Outlet.
McCarthy added that the “end of racism” was only seen during the victory of the Eagles NFC championship against Washington’s commanders. The AFC championship, in which the Chiefs exceeded Buffalo tickets, included the aforementioned phrases.

Before the start of Thursday, the National Black Anthem was held, which received a reaction in social networks.
“NFL, you have to stop opening the season singing the” Black National Anthem “… We have a national anthem,” wrote an user in X.
“This is the most racist and awake bull that I have heard,” said another.
