I didn't know there was a "black" national anthem.
I went to a predominantly black inner city private high school many years ago. Lift Every Voice and Sing was sung at many events, but never along side the Star Spangled Banner and most certainly never in place of it. It is a beautiful hymn-like song. Whites and blacks (this was several years before white liberal elites foisted the term “African American” on the nation) sang the song together with joy. Even though it was nicknamed the black national anthem, there were no militant or separatist overtones. It was and is a beautiful song and it is a shame to see it exploited in such a crass and divisive manner.
There isn’t but that won’t stop the left from making one up.
“I didn’t know there was a “black” national anthem.”
There isn’t. The ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ didn’t become the U.S. national anthem until March 3, 1931. On this day in 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed the bill designating “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the official national anthem of the United States. No such bill of any other anthem for the US has been recognized or signed into being. They can play what ever it is all they want unless the facility they are using says no. That is private property. But as a retail product, they will also have to reap the backlash of public opinion even for only 2 games.
This is what can happen, and I hope it does:

If I were not already boycotting, this would cause me to.
I wasn’t going to be watching anyway.
There is no nation of blacks much less an anthem.

Not bad, but we already have a national anthem for all. Our nation is based on equality, not the generalizing “equity” (linguistic tool of fascism).
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.
SOLID!!!
F this BS
16 Tons?
Reminds me of the brits telling rugby fans they cannot sing SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT at matches. Riiiiightttt. What poor bastard is going to tell 50,000 British rugby fans they cannot sing?
Mark Levin was on fire about this tonight. I bet Stephen A Smith won’t be his best buddy anymore after his rant.
No more National Football Liberals
I remember the NFL.
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.
Coming soon - black drinking fountains and separate bus seats.
#1. Neither did they!!!
Singing about the NFL, “By, By Anti-American Guys”.
