"Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing," commonly known as the Black national anthem, is expected to be performed live or played before every Week 1 NFL game, and the NFL is also considering a variety of other measures to recognize victims of police brutality during the upcoming season, a source familiar with the league's discussions told The Undefeated on Thursday.

GAG!
Hey! Same here!
Yep, maybe Ill just watch Cricket.
Cricket I kind of enjoy. Baseball is considered in England a child’s version of it. Some games can go for days, but there is a version 20/20 that takes about 2-3 hours to complete a game. The best way I can describe it, the bowler (pitcher) can take a running start before delivering the pitch, and all pitches are bouncers in the dirt. The batter hits until he’s out.
This crap proposal from the NFL is another ant-MLK segregationist move that divides citizens, creating minority resentment when unity and mutual understanding is the solution. These pussyhat businesses and organizations can bow (trembling) before false gods like BLM or my last bowel movement. I only bow for God.
Oh I’m familiar with the different kinds of Cricket. And I will say, it takes a lot more skill to be a good Cricket batsman than a baseball hitter. A good batsman, literally has to be able to go an hour and a half without making a single mistake if he is to get a “Century” (100 runs)
Any American who watches the thug league at this point is a quisling.
And I expect they will ban ticket sales to all non-black folks to go along with that.
The NFL, soon to go the way of the WNBA and arena football.
“I always thought ‘America the Beautiful’ should be our anthem.”
It is a better song. A couple verses make me tear up every time I sing/hear them. Still, it’s hard to let go of what we have, especially at this time when so many of our traditions and much of our history is being annihilated by the terrorists.
Will make it easier for non-communists to identify U.S. communists needing attention when the SHTF on November 4th...
Attend an NFL event, get the privilege of making the list...
I do that sometimes in the sporting goods department because they make that wonderful sound, but otherwise they're rather boring.
Okay, did my part... {:-)
I quit after the NFL robbed the Saints of a trip to the Superbowl couple years ago. Brees sealed the delicate. He was once known as a man of integrity. Now people are vowing to leave the Dome empty. Ironically Brees did more for poor blacks in NOLA than his teammates combined.
We’re done down here.
NFL is toast!
JaNo ders a congressional black caucus?
It's endlessly hilarious that Ice-T, co-writer of that song, has spent the last twenty years playing a police detective on television. Show me the money.
The lower viewer numbers have happened in any significant way. Way way to many people have to have their NFL fix in order to give their lives meaning.
The NFL is truly trying to kill themselves.
I never went back after the kneeling BS.
Let them die...let the players starve.
Black Nation Anthem but, Dixie Land songs bad
Right...
You are promoting a race not a person and therefore objectifying someone.....who?
And I could careless....
