The Black national anthem was played ahead of the NFL’s first game of the season between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.
The NBC broadcast played a video of Alicia Keys singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" while the Florida A&M University Concert Choir joined in from Raymond James Stadium. Players from both teams stood in their respective end zones and locked arms to show unity ahead of the game.
Lift Every Voice and Sing" was played before the start of Week 1 games during the 2020 NFL season, and Front Office Sports reported in July the NFL planned to make the song a "prominent part of big league events."
The national anthem is usually only heard before early-season games or some primetime games, the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was played before Super Bowl LV and the draft in April.

National football losers
To be fair, a nice rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was sung immediately prior to kickoff. The black anthem was sung earlier.
It’s disgusting, but the NFL is dead to me, so I guess they can do whatever they want without affecting me.
There are times when the free market is the only means of administering justice.
That song was retarded. I saw it
Any idiot who stood with any sort of reverence for that stupidity are the true losers, even more than the idiots who still follow the NFL.
“Oh say b—tch can yo’ see and s—t dawg!”
Was it...
“Say it loud.. .
I’m black and I’m proud”....?
This color crap is full BS!
Dead to me
Now I’m in a quandary...do I post my Gomer Pyle meme (surprise, surprise, surprise) or the one of my failing Give-A-Sh!t meter? First world problems, I guess...
Did anybody in the stands take a knee?
Just a matter of time before some latino ticket holders start asking ‘What about us? We just turned invisible?’
Which black nation has this anthem?
Send them to Liberia. Let them use their “anthem” there.
That is one of the reasons I stopped watching professional football and basketball. When they go political, go “woke”; I go away.
“Amazing Grace how sweet the sound...”
Done with the NFL.
