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.”

Yup.
They can’t send what little fans they have left away fast enough.
Bump
If you are supposedly opposed to the obvious NFL ideology, yet still watch it, then 1. The NFL appreciates your pathetic servitude, and 2. STFU
Hopefully
I hope players and fans kneel when it’s played.
This should do wonders for the gate receipts. Luckily, the sound isn’t on at the bar I go to to watch NFL games. Maybe they’ll feature reruns of Heidi!
Papa was a rolling stone?
70% of professional football teams are black. What racism!!!!
And then, sooner or later, it will become THE national anthem!!!!
The POWER To Be Racist That No White DARE Speak The Name Of !!!!
The PRIVILEGE That No White Dare Speak The Name Of !!!!
The RACISM That No White Dare Speak The Name Of !!!!
Whites Owe Blacks NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOTHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!
And We Whites just keep going about Our regular daily routines in Our lives....
Can’t wait to see who stands and who kneels for each song.
I thought their song was, “We’re Coming for Your Children”.
I don’t see any reason to get bent out of shape about an old Negro spiritual.
Someone tell them it’s a hymn. LOL
Then I don’t see any reason for me abandoning the NFL. It is what it is. I hope you’re happy with your NFL threads being populated with socialists.
Good thing I don’t watch NFL football anymore.
It almost makes me glad that my former beloved team is now a complete train wreck. It makes our “divorce” easier.
Socialist freepers?
You’re socialist if you don’t hate America? Sorry I ain’t buying that.
I’m very confused. You said socialists would be in the NFL threads, I asked “Socialist Freepers”? As far as I know they aren’t any.
One guy named Parisfal said he was a democrat, he got banned way back.
if you are equating this with the National Anthem then I’m not with you.
Snapping in. Build up that muscle memory.
