Swift might make a lot of money but she’s mediocre at best. Will never understand THAT world.

Exactly who is it that calls it “the Black national anthem”?
Will it be presented as such at the Super Bowl?

If it is announced as THAT, patriots will know enough to empty their seats and head for the walkways.
Grab a beer and taco.
Just give it no never mind.

IOW, announce it as “Lift Every Voice and Sing”...AND NOTHING ELSE.

They should play China’s and Mexico’s national anthem based on immigration and influence numbers.

I could be wrong but I think Carter attended one or it might have been in the movie Black Sunday. My memory blurs now a bit.

So when the “Black National Anthem “ is used, does that mean they reject and don’t have an allegiance to the real National Anthem or is simply “a haha, look what we can do”.

We have a lot of Chinese football players?

The anthems are performed for the attendees as well as the players.

I don’t know one way or another. I heard it while getting breakfast today, so probably it was on Newsmax. Maybe Fox. And since it was about football, and I hate football, I’m sure I wasn’t paying 100% attention.

It was never called the “Black National Anthem” in the distant past. It’s a hymn.

No one cares.

I just listened to it again. There is nothing racist about it. It is religious, both in tone and explicitly. I would feel comfortable singing this hymn in church.

It’s not a national anthem if it’s only for one classification of people.

I don’t watch or care anymore. Song doesn’t matter. I stopped before that.

For those supporting the changes at the Super Bowl, I hope you are drinking Bud Light, as it would be culturally appropriate.

Who is in the super duper bowl? Haven’t watch a single game this year. Did I miss anything?

The NFL is a private entity. 70% of its players are Blacks. I have no problem with this. You’ll never see the MLB do this at the World Series, because 90% of that league are Whites and Latinos. And Latinos don’t whine about racism.

When the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup with a team of Russians, I don’t remember the Russian National Anthem being played

Over 50% of the players in the NFL have RAP sheets.
