The US still has what's called sundown towns where it's legal to attack black people after dark. It's not officially on the books everywhere anymore but some small towns still claim it as law. Texas definitely has sundown towns. This show fully downplays the racism of small-town America especially in the south.

The missed calls on the game were a racial thing. It was a very clever way of proving the point about racism without crossing any lines are making the show, too controversial/unpopular.

I can’t lie… I love Tim Riggins from the very first episode. There’s the rough around the edges character that I always related to. I swear you will love him by the end of the show. It’s very creative character building that they have. I wouldn’t want it done any other way.
