Fox News ^ | July 2, 2020 | Daniel Canova

The NFL will reportedly play “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing,” which is also known as the black national anthem, before every Week 1 NFL game in the 2020 season, according to ESPN.

The decision to play the song comes following the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, which led to nationwide protests over racial inequality and police brutality.

According to the ESPN report, the song will be played before “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

If there was ever a time to stop attending NFL games and stop watching them on TV, now is it. The NFL has gone totally PC and have ruined the game, and the other sports genres are following suit.

Mark Levin was on fire about this tonight. I bet Stephen A Smith won’t be his best buddy anymore after his rant.

“Men of Harlech” was the high point of the film “Zulu”.

Maybe it should become the anthem of besieged whites in America.

Might take the BLMers a while to catch on. All they know is Burn, Loot, and Murder.

Going to the range this wkd? I am. But do enjoy the Fourth. If you’re at a picnic with flags, BBQ, patriotic songs, and loved ones, be armed and ready.

God bless America.

I couldn’t agree more and these fools have ruined games that used to be fun.
It’s just not possible for me to contribute to this nonsense.
I can’t wait for sports to start so we can boycott and make our statement in the ratings.

Little symbolism there. That would be a great print for a T-shirt and probably sell hugely! ;D

How about the NBA painting the floor with BLM and encouraging players to adorn their jerseys with provocative slogans?

I think I’ll have to miss that too.

I’m done with them.
Raised in privilege, Pat Mahomes has gone all SJW.
He’s now the Chiefs’ Colon Kraepernik.

The National Felons League shouldn’t be allowed to play at all this season.

Due to the Wuhan scandemic, College Football will be canceled, so why the Hell is the NFL allowed to play? No one cares about pro sports.

I haven’t watched the overpaid, privileged morons in four years. Nor will I ever watch another game.

The NFL can burn in Hell.

Yep you can bet the NFL will have BLM either painted on the sidelines or on the field so if someone does watch they will be constantly bombarded by it.

Not to mention the armbands or embroidered patches on uniforms showing their support.

Oh and the insufferable commercials that will be airing.

They want new customers ok good luck with that.
