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.'”

The MFL. Racist SOBs. The New Slave Owners. I don’t know why I’m angry over it. I don’t watch that horsesh*t anyway. It’s primarily for retards like “Doctor Jill”.

“Why not also sing various Indian songs? And how’s about a Puerto Rican independence song too?”

Because the nfl isn’t majority Indian or Puerto Rican football players.

Gotta keep da golden geese happy yo!

I’ve started watching these 10 or 15 minute recaps of football games on YouTube. I get to see all the best plays without the commercials, politics and idiot commentators. Just football.

Let’s see, founder of that club was..

“ Anderson was born George Pforr on March 15, 1844 in Baltimore, Maryland. He enlisted in the Confederate States Army and served in an artillery battery under Captain Jonathan H. McClanahan, part of General John Imboden’s cavalry brigade.[1]

In February 1864, he deserted and enlisted in the 1st Regiment New York Volunteer Cavalry (Lincoln Cavalry) using the name Charles W. Anderson and the birthplace of New Orleans, Louisiana. He was assigned to Company K under Captain Edwin F. Savacool.

On March 2, 1865 at Fishersville, Virginia, Anderson captured a Confederate flag during the Battle of Waynesboro. On March 19, 1865, Anderson and other soldiers who had captured flags were given a 30-day furlough and the Medal of Honor by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.

Anderson mustered out in June 1865, but re-enlisted in Company M, 3rd United States Cavalry on January 11, 1866. He served 12 years, participating in the Indian Wars before receiving a hardship discharge on April 4, 1878.

Anderson settled in Staunton, Virginia near his sister Mary, and returned to his birth name of George Pforr. He married Sally Smith Garber on September 18, 1878. He applied for a Federal pension in 1905 for his military service, which was granted in 1906.

At some point in 1909 Anderson served as the president of the Dinner Committee and Toastmaster for a presentation and complimentary dinner by the Colored Citizens of New York and Vicinity. At this dinner he presented a gold watch and chain to Matthew Henson.[2]

He died on February 25, 1916 at the age of 71. He is buried in Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton, Virginia; section 10, lot 87”

I hope lots of knees hit the ground.

(Nevermind how stupid that is - kneeling is a sign of submission and reverence, not real rebellion.)

If they really wanted to keep the players happy they would bring the wives and girlfriends out into the middle of the field at halftime—and the players would beat them senseless!

Paying $25,000 for a ticket to a football game sounds a little retarded to me. Kind of like paying $500 bucks for just another pair of $15.00 sneakers with an expensive name on them. Pretty retarded. And these are the dumbasses screaming and whining for “reparations” because they don’t have any money to buy food.

“For all the whining about past segregation and all the sacrifices many have made through the years to end it...they sure seem hellbent on segregating themselves all over again”.

Thread Winner!

You have to be really racist to think there’s a black national anthem.
