In a grand twist of irony, the NFL is planning to display a rather peculiar message of “Choose Love” in the end zones during the upcoming Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, set to take place at the Superdome in New Orleans. This gesture is intended to respond to recent tragedies, aiming to promote unity and positive values.

Contrary to what might have been expected, none of these events have unfolded; there hasn’t been any recent season opener game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, nor has there been any incident of an Eagles player spitting on a Cowboys rival.

Additionally, while the NFL has previously played the Black National Anthem during games, there is no mention of it being played during a recent game, nor are there any reports of awkward silence during such an anthem.

The league’s emphasis on blending sports with social justice is planned for this specific Super Bowl event and remains to be seen how it’s received by fans. Rather than critiquing a past occurrence, those interested in the NFL’s progressive initiatives will have the chance to observe this upcoming grand event in February, when actions may indeed speak louder than end zone stencils.
