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.

In playing this random song they are elevating it to the level of our national anthem. For that they can go to hell.

We have a lot of very wealthy, very Slow Learners in charge of the NFL. Let them absorb the losses then. They seem to enjoy losing.

That’s the thing libs and gays don’t understand about Christians....we can disagree with the life choice
and still love without judgment.

If libs and gays disapprove they seem to go right to blind hate and rage. That comes from an ungrounded life without Jesus Christ.

Lots of songs are very compelling, How about “Stairway to Heaven”, or “Paradise City”. There is only one National Anthem, two Anthem’s means two separate nations. Biden compares the opposition to Confederates and routinely compares any opposition to him with the Civil War. This is cultural death by a thousand cuts so they can take their compelling song and stick it where the sun don’t shine.

The NFL believes the bleeding has stopped, they lost people like me years ago, so they think they have stopped bleeding fans. We need this to become a arterial wound to the NFL.

The only reason its being played is for its political impact. I know the lyrics etc.

But it is being used to push a false narrative and saying one race is better than others.

Boolshite.

Lets just play “Dixie” and see how that goes.

EFF these people. They want to make a game political...right back at ‘em.

Last year, the back of the end zones had the mottos “End Racism” and “It Takes All Of Us” painted at each NFL stadium. This year, the NFL and BLM will team up for edgier messages: “Defund Police Now” and “Hate Whitey”.

(Note: the second sentence is not true but you had to read this far to know it wasn’t.)

Too bad “they” are pimping that hymn for their nefarious cause. It’s been in our hymnal for decades, and NOT as “Black National Anthem”. Two brothers who are black wrote it, so they’ve glommed onto it. Ridiculous.

They did the same with the rainbow. Satan is alive and wall.
