Dem. Rep. Steve Cohen Blasts Super Bowl Fans for Not Standing for ‘Negro National Anthem’
Breitbart ^ | 02/12/2024 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 02/12/2024 8:44:02 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game.

As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.”

Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing as R&B singer Andra Day performed the popular song.

He quickly jumped to his X account to scold the fans.

“Very very few stood at Super Bowl for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’. The Negro National Anthem. Not a pretty picture of Super Bowl crowd,” he wrote.

One of the reasons being that “anthem”, along with a myriad of other woke issues that offend my morals and sensibilities, I watched not a nanosecond of the grossly mis-named “Super Bowl”. Played sports all my life, including football in hgh school. Pro sports, and now college sports, have corrupted by the pursuit of money uber all. Take your tainted product and shove it.

Don’t injure players over political disagreements (debris).

There is one country, one national anthem and the negro song is not it. This is disgusting low life demons rats trying to further divide this great national. Once that so called anthem started the apertures should have booed through the entire thing.

gee- what next? A Gay national anthem? followed by 1000 different gender national anthems- followed by pansexual national anthem? followed by... etc etc etc

1 national anthem is ALL any nation needs- if everyone isn’t on board with supporting their nation- then stuff it and go live elsewhere- We are not adopting a special national anthem for those of you who hate this country!

I didn’t see anyone of any color-except the performer, sing the words. Does the Tennessee Democrat know the words? Virtue signal- look at me.

Well...if it’s a ‘black national anthem’ then, by definition, it isn’t MY national anthem - so why the h*ll should I stand for it?

Those that push for it are simply racists.

That’s such an amazing truth. We were the country and the people - along with the Brits - who decided to take down the evil that was slavery. Something we can forever be proud of... and it was Republican here in the United States who lead the fight.

Travis Kelce is part Welsh, part Czech and part Croat. They should have played the national anthems of Wales, Czechia and Croatia. And checked the national origins of all the other players and made sure they played all of their ancestral countries’ national anthems. Of course they would have had to start that an hour before the game started.

Do I need to apologize to the NAACP for using the term “colored people”?
