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.”

Well, the NFL has gone full retard.

Looks like the Washington Redskins are going to change their name to the “Red...tails”. Gay.

OJ needs to be removed from the HOF; he’s a racist that killed TWO WHITE PEOPLE.

And don’t forget to keep paying your cable/satellite every month...

And then the NFL will become the BFL, like BET. Because “National” is like Nationalism, which is racist.

Black National Anthem

Black Lives Matter

See the trend? So much for the United States of America. Black separatists are on the march. BTW, if you don’t vote for Joe Biden, you ain’t Black.

black power good white power racist
black lives matter good, white lives matter racist

The list goes on and on.
So in essence here is my answer to PC ignorant crowd .

F you if one is good for one race then the same rule applies for other races, or you can cut the crap and just be an American.

The Black Panthers told kids to kill their parents. It wasn’t a back empowerment movement, it was a racist militant Maoist Marxist revolutionary movement.

The racist Virginia Democrat governor is still in office, they gave him a pass.

They love him so much they should put up a statue.

Because the Black Lieutenant Governor had too many skeletons in his closet.

I wonder when BLM will start demanding territory for a black homeland?

They already were given one. It is called "Liberia". But I'm sure they could dump their American citizenship and get citizenship there pretty easily with the hundreds of millions of Dollars they have already "collected". I understand bribe money goes a long way there.

Oh, wait. Most of that cash has already gone to Democrat slaveholders politicians and the DNC. Oh well, they can always demand more and get it.

Maybe the NFL and their fans can help out?

I never heard of such nonsense either.
Maybe they’ve only sung it for Kwanza?

Just cannot get past the likelyhood of hearing the call “please stand for the anthem” and the loudspeakers rapping “I like big butts and I cannot lie”.

The only NFL I care to watch are games from when America was still America with players like Jim Brown, Otto Graham, Walter Payton, Jim Taylor, Sam Huff,Alan Ameche, Rosey Grier, Bart Starr, Dick Butkus etc.

“Perhaps Lincoln was correct.”

Perhaps Jefferson Davis was correct?

Let me know if you want on/off the list

Its sounds like a religious song to me, I never heard of it referred to as a "black national anthem" before.

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.

They are putting corporate squeeze on the Redskins, very sad, these corporate cucks are almost worse than swine in the streets.

They’ll make bank selling off the old merch (which will then become collectible), and then more with the new merch.

Indians *should* be embarrassed about the name, but only cause they’ve really sucked lately.

"They are putting corporate squeeze on the Redskins,"

The NFL is cutting it's own throat. For once I feel sorry for the Redskins. The old rivalry between (My team) the Cowboys and Redskins won't be the same as the Dallas Cucks vs. the Washington Black Lives Matter.

Not that I will care if My Boyz kneel.

Please give me a "provisional" "keep" on your list. If for nothing else to join the obnoxious NeverNFLers of which I may join.(Sorry, Impy)
