The announcer should have invited people to KNEEL for the HYMN, then STAND for the NATIONAL ANTHEM.
Golden opportunity missed.
Stopped watching a long time ago when the entitled started kneeling. I am looking forward to the day when all will be forced to kneel before the King of Kings.
Except it wasn’t presented as an anthem. It was just in the block of patriotic music before the teams came out. The “objections” are just people making up their own narrative that didn’t actually happen.
As long as we are going to divide up America, I vote they play the Midgets National Anthem . There must be one..
Thanks for this story. I was trying to figure out why she was not singing the star spangled banner.
I am surprised they didn’t have all the players take a knee as well. Maybe they are saving that for next year...
were all of Rhinna’s dancers black or were there some whites doing black face?
I need to know what the Latin, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American national anthems are, so I can practice.
Did I forget anyone?
National Negro Fatigue Month is getting worse every year.
I suppose it’s written in 3/4 time???
Wait till certain people grasp it is a hymn written by the president of “The Colored Republican Club”. It will lose the moniker of “Black National Anthem” right quick.

What’s the NBA? I seem to remember there was a pro basketball league called the NBA, but I quit watching it in the 80s. Haven’t watched it, the NFL or MLB since. I used to watch soccer on NBC, but since they went to putting the best games on their Plus (+) channel, and their regular channels have crap games, I have basically stopped watching. Like, on Wed this week, Manchester City plays Arsenal. A battle of #2 vs. #1. It is not on their primary TV channels. No, it is on their damned Plus (+) station streaming online. All they do is put crap (insert the other word for crap here if you like) games on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I am starting to delete TV channels that I have on DirecTV and we are close to just cutting off the damned thing off for good. There is nothing worth $100 per month on TV anymore. ESPN has the German and Spanish leagues on their stinking pay more for more sports on line crap channels. If you have coverage that gets all the ESPN channels on TV, you get crap on those channels. I used to love College basketball, but after this one and done for players started, I cannot keep up with the teams and players anymore so I have dumped watching that now also.
The “ball sports” must believe that they must cater to a certain demographic. That’s fine with me because I do not watch or support them since that crap started years ago and I don’t miss them at all.
I no longer watch the NFL so I did not watch the game. My understanding is that the fans were asked to stand. So were the fans asked to stand for an entire block of patriotic music? That seems a little odd.
I have heard it said that our National Anthem is probably Hispanic because it starts out, “Jose can you see?”
If it goes like this we will need New Anthems for:
1. Latinos 2. Native Peoples (one for each tribe )3. Chinese,4. Japanese, 5. Irish, 6.Canadians, 7. Haitians, How about for Gay people too? Disable? Ex-Soldiers? Children? Women? We could spend the first hour of the superbowl playing all the many anthems.
“They want their own water fountains and restrooms...”. I have noticed many times a camera shot of a team bench shows there are a lot of Black players sitting/standing together apart from the rest of the team .
Does Black History start at the beginning with African tribes capturing other tribes and selling them to the slave traders?
Well, THAT I don’t know. I don’t even know who she is, but I heard there was a controversy about her.
