Just in time for kickoff, the NFL announced on Thursday that social justice messages may make a comeback as players will once again have the option to feature them on their helmets.
The NFL is allowing players to continue to wear pre-approved social justice helmet decals again this season.

As part of the NFL’s “Inspire Change” platform, the league plans to address social justice through messages on the back “bumper” of player helmets, across end zones and through a “Say Their Stories” initiative.
“We are committed to Inspire Change and the social justice work that inspires change for the long-term,” said Anna Isaacson, NFL senior vice president of social responsibility, via The Associated Press.
Players who want helmet messages may choose from the following six helmet decals: “End Racism,” “Stop Hate,” “It Takes All of Us,” “Black Lives Matter,” “Inspire Change” and “Say Their Stories.”
The “Say Their Stories” initiative returns and will coincide with each team highlighting its social justice work during a regular-season home game across Weeks 17 and 18.
Additionally, NFL end zones will have a relatively new, but familiar look. “It Takes All of Us” and “End Racism” will be prominently featured in the end zones of each team for a second consecutive fall.
“The key message for us as the season is starting, we are ramping up again in a big way with our social justice work,” added Isaacson.
Too bad. I’ll probably do what I did last year. Skip the regular season and then maybe tune in for the playoffs. Or maybe not. Unless someone has the courage to put a decal on their helmet that says “stop killing unborn babies”. If someone has the guts to do that, then maybe I’ll watch
You nailed it!
Nope count me out don’t need any lectures from these clowns how about some names lets say of the 13 Marines and Navy medic who were killed in Afghanistan you know some real hero types smfh
You nailed it too!
Or how about a sticker that says, “Trump Won”
If they’re going to allow this then players should be able to wear pro-police and patriotic stickers.
But to be clear the inmates are not running the asylum, correct? Because this worked so well last time.
Shitty leftists ruin everything.
I haven’t watched an American professional sport since April 2020 for just this very reason.
Can’t fix stupid.
Goodell is an idiot. Must be nice to be a complete failure at your jib and still get paid millions.
Oh goody. More criminals’ names on helmets.
Here are some messages I’d like to see:
“Abortion Kills Children”
“Free the Uyghars”
“Get all Americans out of Afghanistan”
“Defund Planned Parenthood”
Somehow I don’t think these idiot woke NFL players will have those messages on their helmets. They’re brainwashed into only putting radical left wing messages on their helmets.
Agree.
How about “Fatherhood”
I’d be supremely impressed if any player had that on their helmet, but wouldn’t see it because I don’t watch the NFL or NBA because of their fixation with SJW blowhardness.
Black Fathers Matter.
but they don’t wanna have that conversation…
This woke players will have Taliban lives matter decal……Have not watched since Kaperturd
Count me out. Don’t want to have their social justice garbage pushed on me, Haven’t watched a game since the “kneeler” wore a San Fran uniform.
