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.'”

I know many Freepers disagree and desire the entertainment, the "bread and circus" of their football, including a halftime performance by a person that absolutely hates the United States of America.
I say to them to go enjoy themselves. May their chains rest lightly.
Continuing to be a jagoff. Huh.
Hah! I was scanning this thread to see if anyone else had this sentiment.
“Babyface” “snoop dogg” “ice-t” “machine gun Kelly’s.. the list goes on.
These people are mad they don’t get respect. They don’t even have names. They have logos.
Ridiculous people who lessen me by even knowing who they are.
Coming soon.....the Queer national anthem. “The Star Spangled Outfit”.
Will they also fly the fag flag?
Woke NFL can kiss my...
Over the last several years I’ve grown to enjoy watching pro rugby and when I watch American football some of it just seems wrong now. You don’t actually have to touch the ball down to score a ‘touchdown’.
More sickness. More division.
How is Wales this year. I forgot about 6 Nations tournament.
Ugh...just checked the results of tournament so far. What is up with Wales.Looks like hot team is Scotland, even France lost one.
I don’t mind that one. Seems like a positive way rather than tearing down. Can’t beat a good song. Lyrics are good. Only time you are allowed to sing about God and love of country anymore apparently. I wonder if the NFL read the lyrics.
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won
Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
Our native land

If you loved the NFL and this one thing changed your mind, welcome aboard but you’re late.
What nation’s anthem would that be? We already have one and don’t need to be divided by race...or at least that’s what I thought the idea of the civil rights movement was. Do you want a national anthem? Go found a nation somewhere else.
They really should have a white singer sing that black National Anthem...
Out...Ready for Spring Training and March Madness.
This, right here. 👆👆👆👆👆
Maybe some white players will take a knee....Nah!
What, you don’t have an electric vehicle?
(Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll be working on my H2 Hummer.)
“How about you first jerkoff.”
Reading comprehension not your forte, or are you for separate loyalties such as a “black national anthem”?
like i need another reason not to watch it...
No, it’d a Godly hymn.
