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.

Goodell seems to be doubling down on the woke this season with the black anthem, fag cheerleaders, and woke messaging in the end zones. He thinks Americans are so addicted to the NFL he can serve a plate of ***t sandwich and we will say more please.

Do what I do when it is played -sit down or turn your back to the field and cover your ears.

“He thinks Americans are so addicted to the NFL he can serve a plate of ***t sandwich and we will say more please.”

Sadly, I’m afraid he may be right.....at least in part.

White people living their lives vicariously through a team or player is what makes the nfl go and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

If not for that, tickets would be $20 and you wouldn’t be seeing this bs......but sadly this is now the state of what was once a great American sport.

Sadly, the NFL can spit on their fans, and they will still tune in

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

It’s more than that. Think of those stupid interviews between quarters. How we have to have a thorough explanation when a player gets emotional. Spitting the first minute into the game.

Be offended, but he will still watch the games,probably go to more of them and buy silly overpriced merchandise.
Cut the cord on sports, it’s amazing how much time you will have for the important things in your life.

I am so tiered of hearing that since I’m white I’m racist.
Now , They have finally gone and done it, am turning racist. I am not going to watch another NFL game. Last year was bad enough with their racist bull sh!t. They have finally done it. F them!
