The NFL is continuing its efforts to expands its woke agenda. The professional football league has committed to have the Black National Anthem performed before every big event in the upcoming season. Fans will also see social justice decals on team helmets and additional public service announcements.

Black National Anthem “Lift Every Voice And Sing”

While the national anthem will still be performed, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be included as well at tentpole events such as the Super Bowl, NFL Playoffs, NFL Draft, and NFL Kickoff game.

It was played before the start of week 1 games in 2020.

This isn’t the NFL (per se) this is a continued and coordinated effort by the communists to overthrow the United States.

All the woke corporations are complicit and - are - coordinated to indoctrinate their truth.

Mark my words - next year we will be celebrating “black Independence Day” as China continues to extend its empire around the world.

We’re in a full on, cold, civil war.

It’s like they’re trying to dig that grave a little deeper.

Before condemning the song, I invite FReepers to read the lyrics. I find them pretty dang compelling, to be honest. Preach!

If white folks WOULD boycott the league would go under but too many out there are living their lives vicariously through a player or team.

Its just entertainment.....plenty of places to seek it elsewhere

“The NFL is continuing its efforts to expands its woke agenda.”

I was hoping Tim Tebow would be able to single-handedly turn the NFL around.

It appears to be too late for that now. I hope he doesn't get caught up in that mess and gom.
