I still think it makes no sense to write ~~political~~ non-sports slogans on a football pitch. (Not that I support racism)
Edit: Ok I'm clearly missing some US-specific sports context here.
You witness a huge political display at the start of every game. The NFL was paid by the department of defense for the athletes to be present on the field for the anthem.
