Not sure I understand the point of the NFL with these anti racism sayings.
Like is there anyone racist out there that reads these and changes their mind?
That’s not how racism works at all.
NFL can continue doing what they want I just don’t see the purpose.
In addition to what others said it sparks discussion when some asshole in the friend group complains about it and hopefully gets torn into or excommunicated or otherwise corrected by their peers
It also normalizes the idea by making it ever present. Even if people don’t directly act on it, the message is there being presented as the normal thing society does. It pushes anti racism towards being an ambient condition by exerting a (slight) social pressure.
The message isn’t to stop people from being racist. It’s to stop the racists from being part of their fanbase. Macho sports are really susceptible to concentrations of assholes and they need to be actively discouraged or they will take over.
