NFL updates 'No More Racism' end zone message by removing the 'No'
NEW ORLEANS, LA - The NFL has announced that the prominent end zone messages of “No More Racism” will be updated for Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday by simply removing the word ‘No’.
No, more racism!
Black lives matter?
No, more racism!
This is the better version of the joke.
That's a good one. I actually thought they did it as a weird protest until I saw the source.
Their second option was 'no mo' racism.
The Onion has lost all credibility since a couple of weeks.
EDIT: Geez you people don't like jokes... I'm saying this because reality got so stupid lately that even The Onion can't go far enough. And it's the very nature of satire not to be credible. That's what the joke was all about, it's.... The Onion lol. Also fuck you all if you're trigerred by this.
This is either an amazing joke, or a really stupid statement.
I felt the joke was really obvious...
I can't believe the number of people that didn't get this was a joke
Just wanted to say that I understood your joke immediately and it gave me a good laugh. Irony in text is tricky. These are triggering times so I can see how people got confused...
Lol thanks. I wasn't expediting so much reaction for this. I mean it's The Onion...
Why did you add a bot flair
I still think it makes no sense to write
politicalnon-sports slogans on a football pitch. (Not that I support racism)Edit: Ok I'm clearly missing some US-specific sports context here.
Quite frankly it's flat out scary that you think that saying 'racism is bad' is politics.
Fundamental human rights, and a basic respect for human beings regardless of what race they were born as, is not politics. People who want to make it politics should have the ever living fuck smacked out of them at minimum.
'political' was probably a bad choice of word on my part because I agree that whether racism is bad needn't be up for debate. The point I was trying to make was more that this proclamation has nothing to do with football. They could plaster a hundred other agreeable slogans like 'end fossil fuels', 'tax the rich' etc. across the pitch but I don't think it's something the football goer would appreciate.
You witness a huge political display at the start of every game. The NFL was paid by the department of defense for the athletes to be present on the field for the anthem.
When someone yells racial slurs at games do you just tell them to keep politics out of the stadium?
He's the one yelling
So you're agreeing racism is part of the GOP platform then?
