According to a report, the National Football League is preparing to roll out even more social justice messaging in the 2021 season and will also make the “black national anthem” a prominent part of all major league events.
A source recently told Front Office Sports that the NFL is “bringing back a lot of [social justice] elements from last year,” including helmet decals with left-wing messages, sideline signage, and the playing of the song “Lift Ev’ry Voice and sing” — the purported “black national anthem” — major events.

I do not watch profession or college now (Clemson took knee). There are still some here that do.

Wow. Are they thinking that people want more of this (as another FReeper noted)?
They are going to damage their brand even more.

I haven't watched a millisecond of NFL coverage since February of last year. And never again will I watch a millisecond of it. It's hard to calculate just how many ads for Porsche,Mediterranean cruises and Rolex watches I'll miss...but I'll just have to grin and bear it! ;-)

I don’t either one anymore; when they un-politicize themselves maybe I will again.

So I am thinking some of the players ought to take a knee when it is played. Watch the heads explode if they do.

And at half time of national televised games, the thug league will have a live real time abortion committed on the fifty yard line, with a lesbian patient by a transgender doctor assisted by a blind Asian nurse.

Get out of my country if you don’t like it! A country gets only one national anthem. It gets only one national holiday, one flag, one government, one set of laws.
Anyone who disagrees leave!

People who think they will abandon this anytime soon obviously don’t understand that there really is a goal being pursued behind the scenes to fundamentally transform this country. The old rules no longer apply.

And the corporations are driving this. And the NFL is beholden to the corporations.

If I’m gifted a ticket to the game by a vendor (i would never buy one). Do I have to stand for the black national anthem?
To: ChicagoConservative27
Every time the NFL does something I miss it less and less. It’s like they don’t want me to watch football.

Yep! Just underscores the decisions I’ve already made about all professional sports. I still have the memories of bygone eras when sports were legit and actually pro- America. That time is gone and now it’s just a circus of insanity
To: ChicagoConservative27
If someone else posted the following sentiments, I agree. Woke sports, pro or am, is just pandering to old fools and youthful naïveté.

They’ll be singing the Cuban Communist National Anthem to show solidarity with the Castro regime.
