Also noteworthy is the contrast between Trump’s order to eliminate governmental efforts of diversity, equity and inclusion with the NFL decision to maintain its own initiatives to promote inclusion.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who can contact Trump in the game, said on Monday (3) that he had no plans to reduce league diversity programs.
The NFL is not putting the phrase “end with racism” behind one of the end zones, something it has done since 2021, replacing this guideline with another: “Choose love.”
During his first term, Trump criticized the league and his members to draw attention to racial injustice.
Last year, as a presidential candidate, Trump aired ads during football games detonating his Democratic opponent, former vice-president Kamala Harris, for his position on transgender rights. “Kamala is for them/them; President Trump is for you, ”said the announcement.
It proved to be effective, and Trump, signing last week an executive order seeking to exclude girls and transgender women from women’s sports.
