The Black national anthem was played ahead of the NFL’s first game of the season between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.
The NBC broadcast played a video of Alicia Keys singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" while the Florida A&M University Concert Choir joined in from Raymond James Stadium. Players from both teams stood in their respective end zones and locked arms to show unity ahead of the game.
Lift Every Voice and Sing" was played before the start of Week 1 games during the 2020 NFL season, and Front Office Sports reported in July the NFL planned to make the song a "prominent part of big league events."
The national anthem is usually only heard before early-season games or some primetime games, the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was played before Super Bowl LV and the draft in April.

They were against separate but equal before they were for it.
Does it really mean that much to Dallas Cowboy fans, to support the destruction of the United States by the WOKE mobsters ?
PLEASE.....boycott the insanity !
Thanks. I was wondering
The anthem is supposed to unite everyone in the stadium. Now two anthems serve to divide.
Darn. I missed the game....again.... If I want to be told how horrible America is, how racist everything is, and everything is my fault I will listen to a democrat.
This kind of crap and the “take a knee in protest of the American flag” by the pro sports teams will eventually lead to the end of pro sports. It’s puzzling why the owners continue to allow this political crap when the fans keep turning them off because they only want to watch a game and not be subjected to a political statement put on by the players.
The lyrics are in English.
How dare they culturally appropriate the English language which was largely created by white people.
I’m confused...should I kneel to disrepect their anthem or turn my back so I’m not accused of demonstrating fealty?
Either way, I’m taking a leak on whatever’s nearby as it plays...
There are 54 countries in Africa and not a one of them has that stupid song for an anthem.
I will wait for a little while to see the other NFL opening games ... but a this point, I am ready to abandon the NFL in perpetuity.
Now Sieto Lindo for Lztinos, Sukiyaki for Asians, etc. etc. etc.
Missed the game.
I’m glad too.
Screw the NFL!
That’s my idea for a reality show in a few years. Get several great players and take them to the mansions they would have owned if their sport didn’t go woke.
It won’t lead to the end of anything. Sure, their viewership might be down for a couple years, but watch all the treads here at a “conservative” site discussing NFL games over the next few weeks. They know we are weak and self indulged as a group. Liberals would burn down their stadiums, but our side tunes in to support them while they destroy our country. In truth, if we could hold them accountable for a couple weeks, they would throw away their political correctness and beg us to return, but they don’t need to, we don’t stand for anything
I will boycott them with pleasure!
Not the least bit ashamed that I missed it. BASED,WHITE,AND 100% PROUD OF IT!!!!
For fairness, they should play some David Allan Coe.
Everything woke turns to sh!t.
You mean from his albums which could only be ordered out of the back of biker magazines?
