Berlin, with its vibrant cultural scene and growing sports fanbase, is seen as a prime location for the league to showcase American football to a European audience. The opening event will feature a star-studded lineup of players, musical performances, and various festivities designed to engage both American and international fans. The league had hoped that having two major Hollywood stars like Voight and De Niro would help to bring even more attention to the event and its growing presence on the world stage.<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/go.ezodn.com%5C/ads%5C/charity%5C/proxy?p_id=92543def-0f9c-4706-7efe-faf05479b103&amp;d_id=395285&amp;imp_id=5371207683461615&amp;c_id=1084&amp;l_id=10016&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazonconservation.org%2Ftake-action%2Fdonate%2F&amp;ffid=1&amp;co=XK%5C%22">\n\n\n\n<p>However, Voight\u2019s refusal to participate has cast a shadow over the NFL\u2019s marketing plans. While some may view his rejection as a sign of principled integrity, others see it as an unfortunate missed opportunity to bring together two major figures from the world of entertainment to promote the NFL\u2019s global ambitions. The ad campaign, which would have been a key part of the league\u2019s efforts to drive excitement and viewership for the 2025 season opener, will now have to be reimagined without Voight\u2019s star power.<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/go.ezodn.com%5C/ads%5C/charity%5C/proxy?p_id=92543def-0f9c-4706-7efe-faf05479b103&amp;d_id=395285&amp;imp_id=5785216837476375&amp;c_id=1134&amp;l_id=10016&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fjoinourvillage.org%2Fdonate%2F&amp;ffid=1&amp;co=XK%5C%22">\n\n\n\n<p>The decision to have the 2025 NFL season opener in Berlin is part of the league\u2019s broader strategy to expand the sport\u2019s reach and increase its fanbase beyond the United States. As American football continues to grow in popularity in Europe, the NFL has increasingly looked to international cities like London and Mexico City to host regular-season games. Berlin, with its rich history and diverse population, is seen as an ideal city to showcase the sport\u2019s international appeal. The NFL is hoping that by hosting the season opener in such a vibrant European city, it will generate more interest in the sport and establish a larger fan base across the continent.<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/go.ezodn.com%5C/ads%5C/charity%5C/proxy?p_id=92543def-0f9c-4706-7efe-faf05479b103&amp;d_id=395285&amp;imp_id=958098675447958&amp;c_id=1084&amp;l_id=10016&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazonconservation.org%2Ftake-action%2Fdonate%2F&amp;ffid=1&amp;co=XK%5C%22">\n\n\n\n<p>The ad campaign, which was expected to feature a variety of stars, would have used Voight and De Niro to appeal to American audiences while also tapping into the European market by showcasing the two actors\u2019 global fame. However, with Voight\u2019s rejection, the NFL will now need to reconsider its approach and possibly find new ways to promote the event.\n\n\n\n</p><p>In the wake of Voight\u2019s decision, the debate around \u201cwoke\u201d culture and its impact on the entertainment industry continues to grow. Voight\u2019s rejection of the NFL offer is just the latest example of the increasing polarization of the industry, where figures on the right are increasingly vocal in their opposition to progressive cultural trends. As the NFL looks to finalize its plans for the 2025 season opener, the actor\u2019s comments are sure to fuel ongoing conversations about the intersection of politics, culture, and entertainment.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Whether or not the NFL will find another way to capture the attention of audiences and create excitement for the 2025 season opener in Berlin remains to be seen. But for now, Voight\u2019s decision to reject the $20 million offer serves as a reminder of the growing divide in the entertainment world and the larger cultural battles playing out across the United States and beyond. The NFL\u2019s international aspirations are now paired with the challenge of navigating these cultural tensions, as it continues to find new ways to engage with its global audience while respecting the diverse opinions of its stakeholders.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><div class='\"mh-excerpt\"'><p>\u00a0NFL\u2019s offer, Voight is continuing to distance himself from what he perceives as the Hollywood establishment, which he believes has shifted too far left.
