Leave it to our gigantic media conglomerates to double down on bad ideas.
Repeating a controversial move from last year’s Super Bowl (and most recent sports events since 2020), the NFL has announced that they are, again, beginning the game with the so-called “Black National Anthem,” as well as the actual national anthem, at Super Bowl LVIII next month.
As announced by Adam Schefter, an ESPN reporter and podcast host, on X (formerly Twitter), the NFL has chosen country legend Reba McEntire to sing the national anthem, rapper Post Malone (of all people) to sing “America the Beautiful,” and singer/actress Andra Day, most famous for playing Billie Holliday in the 2021 biopic “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

What the heck, I want the **White** National Anthem as well. . . (evil grin. . .). What's that, you ask???
Stop watching NFL if you want this to stop.
I thought the black national anthem was, “I’m gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I seeeeeee......”
Thanks to the NFL for reminding me why I am boycotting their pathetic rear ends.
High fives!
“Ahem. Notice anything missing ? Like the **actual** National Anthem ? “
Did you read what you posted?
“the NFL has chosen country legend Reba McEntire to sing the national anthem”
I was ahead of my time when I stopped watching pro sports 30 plus years ago.
Let me guess.................TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!.................
For the last few years, I’ve only watched the fourth quarter if the game was close.
In that case, I'd rather hear the black national anthem.
White players should take a knee.
So here’s the problem ... You DO it once and suddenly if you DON’T DO it ... you are racist! They stepped into this trap willingly and now it’s gonna cost them, figuratively speaking of course. SIGHZ!
I don’t see anything wrong with “Lift Every Voice and Sing”
Lift every voice and sing,
’Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on ’til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place For which our fathers died.
We have come, over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
’Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet, stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.

I AM done with the national felon league at this point.
Well, 85 percent of the players are black...
Except for F1/ IMSA Racing, I quit about 30-35yrs ago, too.
I loved that movie! There’s a song by the Circle Jerks that might be a good White National Anthem, but I won’t even mention its name.
It won’t be long until they push it to replace the Star Spangled Banner, just as Juneteenth will replace Independence Day.
It’s been a beautiful hymn for about 100 years, and in Baptist hymnals. Blacks glommed in to it because the authors were black. It wasn’t meant to be any kind of “national anthem”.
