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.”

The NFL is such a joke anymore
I haven’t been watching NFL games since the kneeling thing began. This move won’t bring me back to watching the NFL.
Indeed. They should play the Gay National Anthem
I am starting to think that profits don’t matter to these Woke companies. They increasingly use some ESG formula to determine success vs. profits and stock valuation. If the shareholders don’t like it, they will be shamed and, maybe, prohibited from voting (because “bigotry” or “climate denial”). Ultimately, if things go south enough, these companies may be relying on a bailout from the Gubermint.
I turned off the NFL three or four years ago. I had never missed a season and for sure not a Super Bowl. But, I have not watched a Super Bowl since the Patriots amazing come back win. That was the last game I watched and likely the last game I ever will watch.
“Having to share with white folks is Jim Crow. We want our own water fountains”
What about the LBGTXORPMBE national anthem? Why are the gender fluid being left out?
Divisive Race Baiting. Can’t they see where this is going?
Just a matter of time before “What-About-Us-Ism” sets in.
Latinos, Asians, Gays, Trans, Non-Binaries, Polish, MUSLIM.
“We want an anthem too!! Why do you hate us so much??”
They get worse every year.
Now they’re deep into suckville
Either everyone embraces the libtard woke suck that is the nfl and society,...
Or it backfires but theyve successfully destroyed another common bond that brings all kinds of people together

Perfect. I’m stealing that.
Just wondering what would happen if the vast majority of those attending kneeled at the Black Anthem.
I hope they do. With extended fingers of salute with both hands. Enough. They want war. Give it to them.
Will kneeling be tolerated?
The NFL can’t even spell the game correctly or use a properly shaped ball.
A futbol should be round.
¡Liga MX!
Too bad I can only quit watching them once, which I did 4 years ago.
there is no black national anthem. And I dont care. the NFL can do whatever they want. I wont be watching.
I’m looking forward to this A NATIONAL BLACK ANTHEM. So as NOT to leave anyone out, we need to come up with a NATIVE AMERICAN ANTHEM, and for sure the HISPANICS... CHINESE, Jewish, and Irish... I mean America has SO MANY cultures represented,.... and THEN, we need to have a GAY NATIONAL ANTHEM, or one for TRANNIES, and don’t forget the LESBIANS and of course the AMISH. This really does look promising, no better way to get people to watch football than to divide everyone present into their small tribes. This just might work. And to think the LOW IG people who play football came up with it!!!
The NFL woke craze is enough to make one want to get down on one’s knees - and provide an offering to the white throne.
Good-bye NFL. It’s been nice knowing ya.
A little of subject but at least it has to do with sports.
In my life I have never rooted against an American or an
American team at the Olympics or any other international
event. This year though, I find myself wanting that bitch
hammer-thrower, women’s soccer, women & men’s basketball
all to lose and I will be rooting against them in every
game they play.
Any Freepers still watching that garbage?
