The NFL announced Thursday it will once again use the phrases "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism" in the back of end zones throughout the 2021 season, and players retain the option to feature social justice messages on their helmets as part of the league's Inspire Change initiative.
"We are committed to Inspire Change and the social justice work that inspires change for the long-term," NFL senior vice president of social responsibility Anna Isaacson told Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press.
Players can choose from six preselected phrases—"End Racism," "Stop Hate," "It Takes All of Us," "Black Lives Matter," "Inspire Change" or "Say Their Stories"—to place on a decal on the back of their helmet.
