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.

I actually like the lyrics better than the battle narrative...

There is a mention God in the song... When I was a kid in the mid-70’s I thought “God Bless America” or “America the Beautiful” would make a better national anthem than a Baltimore drinking song about Fort McHenry getting shelled...
