Opinion: What if football players chose love instead of the game?
Briefly

In the context of the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, the end zones feature messages like "CHOOSE LOVE" and "IT TAKES ALL OF US". While these messages seem misplaced in a high-contact sport, they invite players and fans to contemplate deeper values. The article imagines a scenario where players question the aggressive nature of the game and instead promote love and unity, potentially transforming the competitive dynamic into one of brotherhood and mutual respect.
Why do we heed orders to run into each other, week after week, to win fleeting, fragile fame, when we know that only our noble brethren across the line of scrimmage truly understand and value us!
