The National Football League (NFL) will be playing the “Black National Anthem” as “a prominent part of all big league events,” including the Super Bowl, NFL Playoffs, NFL Draft, and NFL Kickoff game, according to a new report.
The NFL also played the anthem, “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” during the first week of the 2020 season.
The Daily Wire notes that the NFL already featured Alicia Keys and the Cleveland All-City Choir singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before Super Bowl LV and even before the 2021 NFL Draft.

Front Office Sports reports that the NFL “will introduce more social justice messaging on fields and player helmets during the upcoming 2021 season, following up on initial efforts from 2020.”
“To reinforce its 10-year, $250 million commitment to combat systemic racism, the league will promote social justice via on-field signage, decals on player helmets, and in-stadium PSAs,” the FOS report explains. “The NFL also plans to make ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ — often referred to as the Black national anthem — a prominent part of all big league events, said sources. They will likely highlight victims of racial injustice with a ‘Say Their Stories’ project, as well.”

that should bulk up ther ratings.....
bwahahaha!!!
wish I could boycott them even more than what I’m doing now.
I won’t take a knee, but I will do something else other than watch Wokeball.
They sure love their black only, Jim Crow rules.
The “No Football League” for me!
NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals.
Get woke, go broke. This should be a total insult to people who are NOT black, people who are Americans first and ethnic group second. Wut, the National Anthem not good enough for you? Leave the country. Do not stop at Go. Do not collect $200. Just get out and see how wonderful life is in Liberia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, etc. NFL should lose any tax deals it has, etc. for so dissing the USA.
And here it is.
Even my former church didn’t program it every Sunday or even every quarter. This is nonsense.
“To reinforce its 10-year, $250 million commitment to combat systemic racism”
And gee, to think that that kind of money could have been spent on fighting illiteracy or drug abuse as opposed to “systemic racism”.
The Liberala love it when Conservatives birch about them. It’s what they live for.
Just turn it all off and so something constructive with your lives.
The NFL is gay (queer).
I predict lowest superbowl ratings ever
Funny TPTB will call it a win for them either way
Either everyone embraces the libtard woke suck that is the nfl and society,...
Or it backfires but theyve successfully destroyed another comon bond that brings all kinds of people together
So eithr way TPTB are happy
Funny how a loudmouth, malcontent 13% of the American population is ruling the roost...hope their ratings hit historic lows.
Is Richard Sherman going to sing it? Asking for a friend.
What is the NFL?
Eventually the Hispanics will get sick of being ignored. I can’t wait for the day.
What’s a “NFL?”
The NFL big wigs feel they just haven’t been liberal enough on all this racial justice stuff?.??
