According to Goodell, the league is coordinating with the White House’s Salute to America 250 Task Force to mark this moment in history.
The coins used by referees during the playoffs will be auctioned off.
Week 18 games are scheduled for January 3 and 4, with critical playoff races expected.
A UFC event will also be part of the celebration, taking place on the White House South Lawn on June 14, which coincides with President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.

I call BS on this! It’s the NFL (Noir Felon liberals). They have shown their disdain and contempt for America over and over again. So be prepared to see and listen about how racist America is. And that everyone is welcome especially illegals. They’ll be stupid sayings in the in zones, and plastered on the back of ‘oppressed black millionaire’s helmets. They’ll be knee dropping in opposition to the flag. They play the ‘black national anthem’, and a ghetto rapping thug show at half time. Oh, it will be fun for all!
