Bill Maher leaves journalist stunned when he tells her the “End Racism” message in the NFL end zone does nothing to end racism.

MAHER: “I noticed that at the Super Bowl, they’re, for the first time in, I think, four years now, the Trump administration is making them take away ‘End Racism,’ which they had written in the end zone.”

TARA PALMERI: “But why? It just seems silly.”

MAHER: “To do it or not to do it?”

TARA PALMERI: “Why get rid of it?”

MAHER: “Oh, I could tell you why. Because it was stupid to begin with. But let me ask you, who is it for? And if you’re a racist and you see ‘End Racism’ in the end zone, you’re gonna stop being a racist?”

TARA PALMERI: (Stunned) “But the sentiment is basically like, don’t be an asshole.”

MAHER: “But I think it’s an asshole to nag us during a football game about something that doesn’t change anything. If I’m not a racist and I see it, it doesn’t matter. And if I am a racist, it’s gonna make me more of a racist.”

BYRON DONALDS: “Look, I think if you write ‘Don’t be an asshole’ in the end zone, everybody will agree with that.”

(Round of Applause)
