This is what happens when Corporations get too big, and Anti-Trust Laws aren’t enforced.
As far as I’m concerned the NFL can do whatever they please. If they decide to go with the the Soviet National Anthem or that of Communist China, let them have at it.
As to the “Redskins”, if they choose to rename the team, have at it. I would suggest that they drop the name of “Washington” entirely, so as to not besmirch his good name any longer. Just go with “SWAMP RATS”. It fits and nobody will doubt where their home field is located.
I have had enough of the “cancel culture” pukes and their cheap sh*t virtue signaling to last me a life time. The same applies to NASCAR, the NBA and MLB.
It was all good fun at one point in time, but as per SOP, the Liberals/Socialists/democRATs/Commies have turned everything that they touch into a steaming pile of Obama. I’m done with it.
The Nasty Freaking Liars.
Hey Nasty Freaking Liars, when you get your head out of your a$$ and actually focus on football, let me know.
'I don't really have a problem if they wanna play some black spiritual song, what I'm concerned about is kneeling during the actual national anthem.'
Good point, Impy. The far Left wants to eliminate every vestige of America's past, but they can't find a reason to protest and burn the Star-Spangled Banner in effigy - no mention of God or slavery there, so they virtue signal their own non-'National Anthem' into existence out of a slave spiritual, chock-a-block full of references to God - and the last two lines:
True to our God
True to our native land
Who's 'God? Everyone's, or just 'yours'?
And what native land do you speak of? Given that you were brought here as 'slaves', you must be referring to Africa. That's your impetus behind the whole slavery/reparations angle, isn't it? I find your movement - nay, your very existence, is strewn with gaping holes in logic.
RE: “please stand for the anthem” and the loudspeakers rapping “I like big butts”
Will we all be expected to join in?
This begs the question, if there's a "black national anthem" what is the genuine national anthem? Are we promoting segregation by having race-based national anthems? SERIOUSLY! What's the message the NFL is putting out there? It's as tone deaf as the looting and burning and statue toppling and "autonomous zones" (aka sedition, like the Confederacy before it).
More “Tear Zero”.
I’m with you - never heard of such a thing. I wonder if it’s like Kwanzaa, the made up black holiday that takes the place of Hanukkah and/or Christmas?
