The NFL is set to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a powerful way. This weekend, during the divisional round playoff games, the league will display 'Choose Love' in the end zones and on helmet decals, a move that resonates with the values Dr. King championed. But here's where it gets interesting: the message 'Choose Love' and 'It Takes All of Us' will also grace the opposite end zones at the Super Bowl next month, with host teams deciding which end zone gets which message for the conference championship games. This isn't just a symbolic gesture; it's a continuation of the NFL's commitment to social justice and meaningful moments. 'Choose Love' was born out of a tragic event in Buffalo, New York, in 2022, and has since become a unifying message for NFL teams, reflecting the league's values of dignity, empathy, and shared humanity. The NFL has been using on-field social justice messaging for the past six seasons, and this move is a testament to the league's ongoing efforts to inspire change and promote unity.
