Overview
- The NFL will feature 'Choose Love' and 'It Takes All of Us' in the end zones instead of 'End Racism' for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
- This marks the first time since 2021 that 'End Racism' will not appear during a Super Bowl, part of the league's 'Inspire Change' initiative since 2020.
- NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy stated the decision reflects recent U.S. tragedies, including wildfires, a terrorist attack, and multiple aviation accidents.
- President Donald Trump will attend the Super Bowl, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so; the NFL denies his presence influenced the change.
- Commissioner Roger Goodell reaffirmed the league's commitment to diversity efforts, asserting they improve the NFL and align with current legal standards.
