Donald Trump heads to the Super Bowl with a complicated NFL history The league is not putting the phrase ‘End Racism’ behind one of the end zones, something it has done since 2021.
President Donald Trump will become the first sitting US president to attend the Super Bowl in person this Sunday, navigating a complex relationship with the NFL and a history of intertwining politics and sports.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who could come into contact with Trump at the game, said on Monday he had no plans to scale back NFL diversity programs.
Last year, as a presidential candidate, Trump ran ads during football games blasting his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris, for her stance on transgender rights.
It also highlights the contrast between Trump’s order to eliminate government diversity, equity and inclusion efforts with the NFL’s decision to stick with its own initiatives to promote inclusion.
