The National Football League left everything on the field for Hispanic Heritage Month.It recognized Latino and Hispanic coaches, players and executives. It teamed with community organizations including the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement. It partnered with celebrities, clothing designers and its own teams to reach underserved audiences.Then, on social media during its “Por La Cultura” campaign’s first day, it put a tilde over the “n” in NFL that, it said, provided “unmistakable Latin flavor.” https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1570397029452455936 While the league said it was meant to be playful and lighthearted, the tilde’s juxtaposition against the league’s stated mission to “amplify the voices” of its Hispanic and Latino community led critics to throw a flag on the play.
