The NFL reportedly plans to play a song titled, Lift Evry Voice And Sing, also known as the Black National Anthem, prior to every season opening game this year.
The song, according to a source to ESPN, will be played prior to the Star-Spangled-Banner.
According to ESPN:
Early last month, commissioner Roger Goodell in a video admitted that the league had erred in how it handled peaceful NFL player protests of police brutality and systemic oppression. Goodell condemned racism and affirmed that Black lives matter, pledging his allegiance to the players in the battle for equal justice under the law.
Also in June, the league revealed plans to increase its social justice footprint by pledging to donate $250 million over a 10-year period.
The league hopes its efforts demonstrate a genuine commitment to the public, players and coaches and that player voices continue to be heard, the source wrote in a text message. This is key to educating fans, and becoming a prominent voice in the fight to end racism.
The NFL is also reportedly considering other social justice measures, such as listing the names of victims of alleged police brutality on team uniforms.

Check out Shooby Taylors version of Lift Every Voice and Sing on You Tube!! THAT is the version the NFL needs to play.
(Sorry, I tried to follow the HTML tools to post the link but failed). Im sorry.
Yes, the removal of the silver and the hoarding of the Kennedy halves pretty much marked an end of the half dollar in general circulation.
The U.S. lasted longer than most nations in keeping our silver1964. WWI made Britain go to 50% silver, WWII made them eliminate the silver entirely. Imagine a time when money was actually pretty much worth what it said it was.
What a wasted opportunity for the XFL
I have a map here, where is the country of Black?
Black Lives Matter, Thoughtcrimes R Us.
I guess I will continue to get the three hours I used to spend watching the Seahawks. Buh-bye! Hope they have a nice trip into fiscal insolvency. Maybe Colin will be able to save the league! /s
Idiots.
Instead of playing the black national anthem (which no one knew existed) why not announce the names of all the illegitimate children the black players have sired. Then at halftime could announce all of the felony arrests of each player.
It is amazing, how a group of black football player’s kneeling during the National Anthem could cause a little chickenshit commissioner to bend over and hide his face.
The overpaid little chickenshit then does a pump fake and throws the bomb, coming up with a “black national anthem!”
Is that nation found in Africa? Is Goodell out of his everlovin’mind? Now, on the agenda, changing the name of the Washington REDSKINS. Madness, pure effin’ madness.
Stay away from the NFL, they might “get it” after seeing the damage to their attendance.
Eventually the left will realize that, and attack white people for singing the song and pretending that things are better now.
They’re dead to me.
That may take a while.
Well, I sure won’t be singing it.
Well, so much for watching pro football. I am so done with pro sports sticking their noses where it don’t belong.
EFF THE NFL
The white players should *kneel* while this is being played!
Amen, timestax!
Four weeks ago I said on Twit that the NFL would have BLM logos on their uniforms. I still expect this (the NBA has already gone there.
Recall that two years ago, after the first “kneeling” started, the ratings crashed, the stadiums were only half full, and ESPN nearly went out of business. Then the NFL managed to recover by not including the anthem on TV. But they just got back on their feet then this.
And DON’T THINK “well, muh college.” Nope. All the colleges and universities will cave just as fast.
As earlier, done with all of them. Even the local little league will get woke so, buh bye! No doubt they’ll miss me. NOT! LOL!
