NFL to Play ‘Black National Anthem’ at Super Bowl LVII
Breitbart ^ | 02/12/2023 | Dylan Gwinn

This year’s Super Bowl will feature the singing of Lift Every Voice and Sing, otherwise known as the black national anthem, before the start of this year’s game.

The song will be sung before the U.S. national anthem.

According to Mashable, “If the Super Bowl is your introduction to national treasure Sheryl Lee Ralph, welcome. The veteran singer-actress is set to take the Super Bowl stage Sunday to perform what is known as the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” She’s joined by country singer Chris Stapleton singing the national anthem and R&B star Babyface performing “America the Beautiful.'”

Not sure what meaning your drawing from that. Marty Robbins wrote a good country song a long time ago with that title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPMOqE9rJ_k

The Super Bowl has become a display of cheap hits, penalties, celebrations for routine plays and thug antics on the field. At half time, “entertainment is usually in poor taste and aimed toward a minority of viewers. The hype has long exceeded the actual game.

I choose not to watch the game in order to avoid the Monday morning QB’s drivel.

They are having three songs performed. The culmination and headline act is the National Anthem. We sing God Bless America at baseball games all the time. There is no one song limit.

This is more woke bullshit.

I refuse to watch the NFL any more.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand for the Black National Anthem, and remain standing for the White National Anthem?

During our broadcast, whenever we highlight a player, we will first identify his race.
Now let’s all get along.

It’s a shame that that song has been given that nickname, because it actually is a pretty great hymn in its own right. We’ve sung in Church a few times, and my Italian-Scandanavian-German hometown is about the last place one would expect to hear something called the “Black National Anthem.”

I think the closest the CSA had to a National Anthem was The Bonnie Blue Flag.

It seems like the more we boycott, the farther left they go.

The song will be sung before the U.S. national anthem.

But the REAL question is...

...will it be TELEVISED?

At last year’s Super Bowl in Los Angeles, Alicia Keys sang the song.
