Also known as the “No Future League”.
If, God forbid, I was forced to attend a game, would I be beaten for not standing for the wakanda anthem?
In any case I won't be watching the "Black National Anthem". There's no such thing. There is only one National Anthem, the Star Spangled Banner. Maybe those who want this should take the "Black National Anthem" and move to Africa.
“Any Freepers still watching that garbage?”
Just the gamblers.
From Wikipedia:
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” – often referred to as the Black national anthem in the United States[1] – is a hymn written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938) in 1900 and set to music by his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson (1873–1954), for the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in 1905.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_Every_Voice_and_Sing
Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
’Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on ’til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers died.
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
’Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.
Since disproportionate employment is absolute proof of racism in the woke world, I expect that 2 or 3 NFL players on each team will be Asians. Stinks to be the 80 or so black players who were good enough to play and make millions, but will get bumped off the team for racial equity.
And I’ll just keep on not watching them.
Will the addicts finally give up the addiction? You are supporting the destruction of America if you continue to give these people your time and/or money.
The NFL will die gradually then suddenly.
The Left are more pig-headed than stubborn four-year-olds.
Tossing my jersey
I only watch tour de france for my sports. It’s either the Marseillaise or nothing there and no taking a knee. Also no dakwons or mischievous riding in it either. Suits me fine.
I can hear that Mickey Weinstein fella now . . .
I’ll settle for this one.

Southern Soldier: Favorite Campfire Songs of the Civil War
Website: http://CivilWarBand.com/
Loved by many, despised by others, “Dixie” is still among the most recognizable of all American songs. Ironically, it was written by a Northerner, Daniel Decatur Emmett. Bryant’s (blackface) Minstrels premiered it in New York City on April 4, 1859. “I Wish I Was in Dixie’s Land” was an instant hit, and its popularity spread quickly. By 1860 it was especially enjoyed in Southern states and soon also among Confederate army bands. However, many Union bands also played Dixie during the war, or versions of it, and President Lincoln included Dixie among his favorites.
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie’s Land where I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie’s Land I’ll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Isn’t this the year they should be playing the Asian national anthem?
I thought that was the new hot button demographic.
I’d love to boycott them too, but I gave up decades ago. I felt horrible when the Colts left Baltimore. Seems like a VERY long time ago and a very innocent time!
Being seen as “right” IS far more important to them than profits. And if their profits fall, they’ll ask Uncle Joe for a bailout. And get it. Stimulus money.
who will be the first anti-wokester to kneel for the Negro national anthem?
I remember the NFL.
When Tom Landry was fired it became sick. Mr. Landry would not put up with the crap players do today. He was a man of standards!
The sickness is in it terminal stage.
THE NFL IS DEAD, as it should most rightfully deserves.
