Dado el clima de descontento social por las diferentes situaciones de brutalidad policial y racismo estructural que se han producido recientemente en Estados Unidos, los jugadores en consonancia con la liga acordaron utilizar el reinicio como plataforma para ayudar al cambio social y reivindicar su posición en cuestiones de justicia social, así como de apoyo al movimiento Black Lives Matter.
Los mensajes aprobados fueron:
Black Lives Matter (Las Vidas Negras Importan); Say Their Names (Di Sus Nombres); Vote (Vota); I Can't Breathe (No Puedo Respirar); Justice (Justicia); Peace (Paz); Equality (Igualdad); Freedom (Libertad); Enough (Suficiente); Power to the People (Poder para la Gente); Justice Now (Justicia Ahora); Say Her Name (Di Su Nombre); Sí Se Puede; Liberation (Liberación); See Us (Míranos); Hear Us (Escúchanos); Respect Us (Respétanos); Love Us (Ámennos); Listen (Escucha); Listen to Us (Escuchadnos); Stand Up (Ponte en pie); Ally (Aliado); Anti-Racist (Anti-Racista); I Am A Man (Yo Soy Un Hombre); Speak Up (Hablen); How Many More (¿Cuántos Más?); Group Economics (Economía Grupal); Education Reform (Reforma Educacional) y Mentor.
A continuación está la lista completa con los mensajes elegidos por los protagonistas del juego de cara al reinicio de la competición. Si el nombre de un jugador no aparece en la lista, es porque optó por no usar un mensaje en su camiseta.
