As long as it doesn’t substitute for the national anthem, I see nothing wrong with this song.

“Grammy Award-winning singer Ledisi”

Does she take her clothes off, too?

I’ve boycotted the NFL and SB since they became woke. Same with MLB

What, maybe three people complained, but I guess it’s enough to put out a story implying that Trump supporters are racists.

>>’Lift Every Voice and Sing’ is traditionally sung during the pregame festivities at the NFL’s end-of-season showpiece

That’s a lie. NFL only started doing the Black Anthem in 2021. The authors are pretending like it’s a tradition going back decades.

Wasn’t going to watch anyway.

The Neeling Felons League lost me years ago.

I wasn’t going to watch because of the NFL’s constant ridiculous focus on Karen Swift, Travise Meathead and their Pixar-Romance.

This BLM stuff is just one more reason to avoid it.

The NFL Superbowl headlined by countless shots of Taylor Swift, with an endless bunch of stupid commercials and a “rapper” half time extravaganza getting second billing and with some football game thrown in as the undercard.

I can boycott that.

No problem.

The stupid commercials and the half-time show always generate as much postgame buzz as the game.

Yeah. For about three years. So “traditionally” might be a bit over the top.

The reality is that black culture and black history is a major part of US history. It is now, and it will be for the rest of my life.

It seems as though we made a lot of inroads in the last election to find where we have common ground with the black community. Let's keep that rolling. There's enough time in the pre-game show for two songs.

The black national anthem irks me a lot, but not nearly as much as the end-zone woke comments (i.e. End Racism, etc.) and the political woke comments on the back of the helmets!

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.

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”.
