In a statement, NFL vice president of events strategy Matt Shapiro acknowledged the power of poetry. When the league began planning the Super Bowl back in November, it wanted to pay homage to those who have bettered their communities in wake of the devastating pandemic.
“We knew that in order to honor them properly — and all of those across the country that they represent — we needed the right words that would match the power of that moment, and there’s no one more perfectly suited to bring those words to the world than Amanda Gorman," Shapiro said.
Despite tragedy and struggle, these heroes deserve to be celebrated.
Gorman closed the poem:
"We celebrate them by acting
With courage and compassion,
By doing what is right and just.
For while we honor them today,
It is they who every day honor us."
