Episode Date: February 5, 2025

The NFL will remove "End Racism" from the Endzone at the Super Bowl. Of course, people are angry. This is what happens when you virtue signal. There is no winning. How is it possible that we are so stupid? How has every country not overtaken ours? Rant..... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All right, everybody. Obviously, there's big news involving the Super Bowl. You know, you got Kelsey, and you got, is he going to get engaged to Taylor, and can the Eagles overcome the Chiefs and the Refs? Is it rigged? So many storylines in the NFL. But one of the biggest ones today, and this is a huge story, guys, is that the NFL will not have end racism stenciled in the back of the end zone

for this Super Bowl game. They're done with that. So apparently racism has been ended. The NFL is stenciling choose love in the back of one of the end zones at the Superdome for the Super Bowl on Sunday. And what the league says is an effort to encourage the country after a series of tragedies over the first six weeks of the year. It's not using end racism for the first time since the NFL began using Super Bowl end zone stencils. Let's see here. This is from Brian McCarthy, a league spokesman. The Super Bowl

is often a snapshot in time, and the NFL is in a unique position to capture and lift the imagination of the country choose love is appropriate to use as our country has endured in recent weeks wildfires in southern California a terrorist attack here in New Orleans a plane and helicopter crash near our nation's capital and the plane crash in Philadelphia like I don't really know how choose love, like two of those things, actually literally one of those things applies here. Like if your message is choose love, you're trying to tell somebody who's doing something mean or bad or unloving, something that's unloving. So that would be someone who you know drives a truck down bourbon street and kills some people you would say hey choose love choose love i don't know that choose love applies to wildfires although some of those were probably set by people

or it doesn't really apply to a plane and helicopter crash nor does it apply to the plane crash in philly like what would choosing love have done to prevent those things right because usually you're telling people to choose love because you're trying to prevent bad things from happening right so if you say choose love like when you're talking to that wacko that killed those people in New Orleans like if you were with him say hey bro bro I know that you're planning on driving this truck through these barricades and killing innocent people for absolutely no reason on Bourbon Street. But choose love. Please. Before you do that, you have a choice.

You could choose no love. You could choose hate. Or you can choose love. Which do you choose? You're going to go, God damn it, I choose love. Not going to happen. But I don't think as a plane is crashing in Philadelphia, there was really an option to choose love that was going to save anybody's life. None of this makes any fucking sense.

And this is what happens when you get yourself into this circle jerk of trying to show that you are better than everybody or you're trying to appease people. This is what happens. It's like when you wear a pink ribbon on breast cancer awareness month or a yellow ribbon or a green ribbon or whatever it is you do, you're just trying to show that you are better than everybody else. You are just trying to show that you are virtue signaling. That is all we are doing here. And that is the only reason

end racism was written in the end zones. and it's the only reason that choose love is written in the end zone it's because people are virtue signaling that is all we are dealing with here it is dumb now it takes all of us will be stenciled in the other end zone and it's been since the league began using field stencils in 2020 for the nfl's inspire change initiative teams this season have selected vote, end racism, stop hate, and choose love for the other end zone. The two-time defending Kansas City Chiefs used choose love in the AFC title game against Buffalo. The Eagles selected end racism.

Like, can you help me? Like, you're never, like, put something in the end zone that could actually happen. Guess what? Racism's never going to fucking end. There could actually happen guess what racism's never gonna fucking end there's always gonna be racism and I know the angle you're trying to take the angle is well we certainly got to end all these white people that hate everybody when in reality guys everybody hates everyone black people hate white people white people hate black people black people hate

Asians Asians hate other Asians black people are racist against certain Asians. Asians hate other Asians. Black people are racist against certain light-skinned other black people. Everyone is full of shit. You are all full of shit. All of us. So stop virtue signaling and feeding us a bunch of bullshit about choose love and end racism and just play a fucking football game. There is nothing that a football field stencil can make me do to change my opinion about anything. If there's some guy sitting around in his robes and his bed sheets riding around like ghosts, spooks or something, that guy is watching football on Sunday. Do you think he's turning on the Super Bowl? And he goes, you know what? I was thinking about being racist today. In fact, I was going to go to a

cross burning after the Super Bowl. But you know what? The field told me to end racism. And you know what? It's time. I'm going to end fucking racism. How about that? Do you think that was going to happen? What is your bullshit virtue signaling message going to do to anybody? All of it is virtue signaling and all of it is pointless.

It doesn't help anybody. It might make you, I don't even think it makes the NFL feel good about itself. Like the argument you could go, well, they're just doing that to make themselves feel better. No, they put that shit in there. So a bunch of angry people on the internet wouldn't bitch. And now by taking it away, all you've done is caused more dipshits on the internet to bitch. Like that's why you should never get involved with this virtue signaling bullshit to begin with. Because when you stop virtue signaling, then the people are gonna bitch even more. Here's what you gotta learn about people on the internet, because that's who you're catering to.

You're pandering to the people on the internet. Most people at home, black, white, Asian, Mexican, it doesn't matter, most of them aren't sitting at home today going, God damn it, the NFL needs to say something about all this racism. No one's sitting at home thinking that. No one is sitting at home doing that. They're sitting around worried about their own goddamn lives and worried

about watching football. That's what they're there for. No one's turning to the NFL to solve the racial issues of the world. The NFL and the players do that to look good on social media. They ain't helping shit, okay? It ain't changing the world. So do you think when someone who's a racist is sitting around watching the Super Bowl and they're planning on doing some really racist shit or they're sitting around going you know who i think is inferior to me asians like you think they're sitting around and they're like you know what i used to hate asians but man the field on the super bowl told me to end racism so i was like fucking right i guess maybe now's the time. Maybe I need to stop being racist and see the error of my evil ways. No, it doesn't. But what happens when you get into the business of

virtue signaling is when you stop virtue signaling, it has an adverse effect and then people attack you even more. That's why you should never get in the business of virtue signaling to begin with.

By having end racism or choose love or stop hate or vote or whatever it is you put in the end zone, it's going to piss someone off. And then when you stop doing it, it's going to piss them off even more. You cannot win. It is a fruitless endeavor. Two people familiar with the league's thinking

shot down the notion that Mr. Trump's presence is the reason that in races, oh, that's rich. So because the president is going to be there, like, I love when people tie everything back to Trump, too. It always goes back to Trump, like, oh, the NFL is not going to put end racism in the end zone anymore because Trump is there.

Like, God, shut up. Shut up. God, you people are nuts. We like the people in this country are truly, we have to be the dumbest people on the planet. We have to be like, I can't imagine there's a dumber group of people in the world in a, in a, in an area than the people who are in this country fucking around on social media. We are stupid. We are just dumb people. It is fascinating. We have all the access in the world. We have any piece of information you could ever want, all the access you could ever want,

all the opportunity you could ever want. You can be an absolute no one, do one thing on TikTok, become a millionaire. We have every possible thing. You can come from the nothing and become a superstar football player or a scientist or it doesn't fucking matter. You could do anything. And all we choose to do is sit around and bitch on the fucking internet. We have to be the dumbest people. China should just take over.

Like, they really should. Because we're dipshits. China should just come on over and say, we got you. Because at least the Chinese people have figured some shit out their kids are smart they figured some shit out we're fucking imbeciles that can't get out of our own way we step on our own dicks constantly we are fucking stupid and like this is the kind of shit we're concerned about super bowl biggest event of the year coming up and people are worried about the fact that in racism isn't in the end zone anymore when it shouldn't have been there to begin with. Like, I love these kind of things that like are obvious

things that you can't change, but people keep saying we need to change them. We have, hey guys, end racism, end racism. Then what's even funnier is we're talking about how racism needs to be ended in one breath, right? So you go to ESPN, you see a story. NFL will no longer have end racism in the end zones for the Super Bowl, and people are worked up about that. Next story, black NFL players share on number of black coaches in survey. The point of the story is that they feel there need to be more black head coaches. So essentially, you're telling me that somebody needs to be a head coach based on the color of their skin, which to me is racism. So we're obviously not ending racism. We're actually perpetuating it. Think of the stupidity.

Now, I want to be very clear. I don't think it's a bad thing that there'd be more black head coaches. And I can understand where a black dude who grew up with nothing but black guys and maybe had a black coach in college or in high school and kind of understands his culture, I can understand where there'd be some relatability there and it would be a good thing. I'm not telling you it wouldn't be. I didn't grow up.

Look, I've always grown up around white coaches when I played sports. Actually, I take that back. I had some black coaches too. I'm cultured. But that said, I understand it. I get it where you could kind of feel like maybe you'd have a better relationship with a black coach than a white coach, father figure types, whatever.

Like, I get it. Like, I respect that. But like this idea that like, guys, we've got to end racism. The end zones told us to. And then the next story is, is a 100%. It's a piece that's basically, not even basically, it is 100% about how the NFL has too many white head coaches and there need to be more black head coaches.

And there's no real like, hey, let's go hire a coach based on his skill or whatever. No, it's let's make sure we get more black head coaches. And we put these people in bad spots too. Because if you're a black player and they ask you, hey, do you think there need to be more black head coaches? Well, what the fuck are you going to say? Like, you have to say like, yes, I feel like we need more black head coaches. It'd be great for the culture because if you don't, then the internet's going to call you a fucking uncle Tom. And then you're fucked there. Like we're too busy trying to gotcha people all the time. We're so full of shit as a people we're lazy lousy fucking losers that sit

around on the internet all fucking day and just look to harass people and end people we are poison we are toxic we are terrible and we deserve to get our ass kicked by other countries other countries should come over here and fuck we like deserve to have our elections interfered with and we deserve to have our internet interfered with because we we deserve to have our internet interfered with. Because we're fucking stupid. And we do nothing to try to improve it. We're morons. Oh this great country of ours.

This great experiment. And we're the greatest country. Are we? Because what I see when I look at social media. Is the dumbest collective group of fucking imbeciles on the planet. Like at least other countries that have no education. you could say they have an excuse to be dumb. And even they have more common sense than most of the people in this country who are now just feasting. We feast on stupidity and likes and clickbait.

We're stupid. We are dumb, dumb people. And we pander to dumb and we want people to be dumb. Our politicians want us to be dumb. Everyone wants us to be stupid. And we bend over and say, please fuck some more stupidity into us. We're morons, but we want to be even dumber what are we doing and like that's just to show how dumb we are like we're in a place where like the NFL puts end racism in the end zone and somehow people view that as like boy this is a step in the right direction we're we're on our way we're dumb and I get it not everybody's super educated but you like to think that a lot of people possess common sense, but there's actually no currency in having common sense. Being irrationally

stupid and being part of different cults and cliques, that's where the money is. That's where the attention is. That's where the cliques are. That's where the likes are. That's where the retweets are. It's part of the reason I hate sports radio now because sports radio in every local town as well. You just got to be a real rabid Homer and, and, and have no objectivity. Like what are we as a people? We suck. And now we're mad. Like the NFL says end racism. Well, we got to stop now that does the NFL not want to end racism anymore? The NFL shouldn't have been in the business of it to begin with. Cause it's just a stupid virtue signaling virtue signaling thing that's bullshit and anybody with a brain of any color should have said that when it happened they should have said this is stupid what does this accomplish absolutely

nothing but instead there's people that fawn over it like boy this is great and then there's another dipshit group of people that are like hey man what the hell we doing, man? In racism, I got a black friend. Like, fuck. God, I don't, look, I try to be positive. I try to be, like, I know you listen to this and go, no, you don't. Maybe you're right. But, like, I try to be positive and kind of upbeat and be like, hey, I'm fun. I'm a fun guy

and I am most of the time but some of this shit is so beyond stupid it is dumb and how in one breath can you go you know what we got this is bullshit that we don't end racism anymore and then in the next breath hey we need more coaches based on the color of their skin not about their not about like what they've done, not about their achievements or accomplishments. And yes, I think we're getting to a point where there are more black coaches anyway, because guys are getting more opportunities at the lower level and then they're moving up and they're, you know, coordinators and other shit and they're moving their way up. I do think that's a real thing. I think for years and years, a lot of nepotism, a lot of inside shit guy had a job here. He moves with this head coach here.

And a lot of those guys that were getting those opportunities were white dudes. That's real, 100%. There's nothing wrong with the idea of more coaches being black or Mexican or Asian. None of that matters. But when you read a headline, and the headline is basically, we need more black head coaches because there are more black players, and then, hey, we need to end racism. Well, I don't know, but giving a guy a job based on the color of his skin,

while it might not be technically Well, I don't know, but giving a guy a job based on the color of his skin, while it might not be technically racist, I guess, it is certainly a biased thing to do. And it seems to be counter to what the message on the field was that you're so fucking upset doesn't exist anymore. What are you going to do? How do we get smarter? I don't know that we can. We're dumb people. We are a stupid country and we waller in it. We just waller in our stupidity. Common sense doesn't exist. Discourse doesn't exist. Conversations don't exist. Like when I was growing up, I don't feel like we were this stupid. And maybe I'm just trying to like gloss over things and try to fondly remember my childhood because that's what we all do. I don't remember us being this fucking stupid or at least not being able to see it, which is all that's also very realistic. We didn't see it because there was no internet to show us how

stupid everybody else was. But don't tell me how great this country is. And then we look at all the dipshits out here and tell me how great we fucking are. We deserve to get our asses kicked. What we need to do is have someone come over and kick the shit out of us figuratively not like you know end us but you know figuratively kick the shit out of us then maybe we'd learn a little something the problem is you got a bunch of dipshits in this country now that never had to experience any sort of trials and tribulations they've lived in the internet era where you can just sit on the internet and bitch all day. They've never had to know what real life is like. They don't know, like they live in this world where I'm just going to leave this country. If this guy wins this

election, then good go. See what happens over in fucking Tazikistan. Tell me what happens there. Tell me how much you fucking enjoy it. But no one calls these people and says, just go fucking do it. Then we sit there and baby and pander and virtue signal. We're morons. We're a stupid people. And since we're all here, we're all part of it. Anyway, all that said, I do love you guys. You guys are not dumb, most of you.

Some of you may be. But I love you anyway. We'll talk later.
