NFL fans slam 'divisive' Black National Anthem being sung at Eagles' season opener: 'Disgrace to the USA'
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 4, 2025 | Isabel Baldwin

Singer Laurin Talese's rendition of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' left NFL fans divided ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles' season opener, with many seething over the league's 'DEI' anthem.

The jazz songstress took center stage as the Eagles kick started their Super Bowl title defense in a divisional showdown against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

While the song - which has been dubbed the Black National Anthem - has become common place in the NFL and has been performed at the Super Bowl and the Draft, the performance in Philadelphia sparked backlash.

After Hours has also been called the Black National Anthem. There are no words, but the music reflects black musical styles and traditions.

I’m sorry, I thought the Black National Anthem was, “Camptown Races”....

I personally think we’re handling the song incorrectly. Lift Every Voice and Sing is a thanks to God for the abolition of slavery because the Christians won the argument against the pro slavery Dims.

Every time the left brings up slavery we should respond that the abolition movement was a church movement and that the so called “enlightened” people wanted to keep blacks in their place. A century later it was the same thing with the civil rights movement (again a church movement) ending segregation pushed by Dims. Now it’s a church movement protecting kids from abortion and hedonism pushed by Dims.

I do not watch or bet on the NFL. Currently, I am writing the words and music for the Samoan anthem to be sung at NFL games.

I know that. It is why it is a thugocracy.

50%? You probably way underestimate. It is little more than a plantation. The owners are the white overseers.

Finally some advertisers I can boycott. I don’t watch football but I do keep track of advertisers. There’s a few I get to boycott and write “concerned citizen” letters.

They didn’t even say it was the black national anthem. And was 15 minutes before players took the field. It was just “here’s this chick, she’s gonna sing Raise Every Voice”. People should whine less.

That statement is an obvious subterfuge intended to normalize balkanization.

No. It’s stating the reality of the situation. Literally the only people calling last night’s performance the Black National Anthem are the people complaining the song was performed. You’re the ones normalizing balkanization.

Your reply is too incoherent to warrant a response.

I suspect you're being purposely contrary.

Your need to throw insults shows you know the facts don’t back you. I know for a fact you just like getting your panties in a twist.

Would you be mad if they had somebody play Philadelphia Freedom half an hour before the game? Cause that’s really all they did. They had somebody sing a song. Again they didn’t introduce it as the black national anthem. It was just a song. And here you are whining and whining and whining. Sad sad little man.

I thought the black national anthem was Harry Belafonte singing “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)”.

Professional and college sports don't seem to be affected by the conservative half of the U.S. population walking away from the legacy media and Hollywood entertainment.

The WWE is widely recognized as scripted theater - but too many can't see clearly through the massive waves of ESPN talking head propaganda and advertiser dollars to realize that the NFL transformed into the same form of entertainment at least two decades ago. The fan's desire to belong to a tribe is too strong.

Now that knelling for the national anthem is no longer fashionable, the NFL has discovered another way to denigrate our country by replacing the Star-Spangled Banner and National Anthem, which provide the majestic musical/visual symbol for the miraculous founding of this country. My everlasting oath as a Naval officer requires honoring our true National Anthem.

Veterans understand resolving social issues requires revering, defending the essence of our country as found in the truths of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Since the emergence of independent colonies and for all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals finding their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties within bounds of voluntary self-restraint and accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms. Here property was first defined internally in personal self-protection, opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only through secure exercise of those liberties could one acquire and retain the traditional manifestations of property.

The objective of this NFL initiative is to replace our Republic with Cultural Marxism. Karl Marx said in introducing the Communist Manifesto, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”. Therefore, humanity existed as swarms identified to be segregated, dominated, and/or irradicated according to their ethnicity, gender, class, race and/or material possessions. The adherents to this philosophy must regard pseudo-economics and pseudo-science as a doxology; a liturgical expression of praise to their god.
