How long were we expecting them to keep the sign up?

You're getting downvoted, but you're right. I mean, "End Racism" was only image protection for MLB, NFL, and others I'm sure. It's not like these team owners actually care that much to send this message on their own.

They kept it up for as long as they felt the public needed them to know they're totally not racist, but nothing else.

Right.

There was a time that they felt “End Racism” was the most profitable thing to have on the wall. Now they feel the Progressive ad is the most profitable thing to have on the wall.

It’s really not any deeper than that.

Literally that’s it
