Will kneeling be permitted during this song? Doubt it.
NFL is done. How can anyone who loves this country support such an organization?
Anti-American nonsense. Hope conservatives actually boycott it this time.
They can sing “The Internationale” for all I care - haven’t watched a down since the last strike.
One of the upsides of the lockdown is that I think people are SO over sports at this point.
Including me. I was enjoying baseball games from Korea but the ever-woke ESPN announcers ruined it for me.
Well ain’t that nice! Just an FYI for CBS,FOX,NBC,ESPN,etc:I wont be watching during Week #1...or 2...or 3...or 4...or any week!
Are you kidding? In London, they all stood tall for the British anthem, some groveled for our own. It’s only when you can disrespect your own country that groveling is acceptable.
Do they consider themselves Americans?
What exactly is a black national anthem..do they rap it?
NFL a black thang now, ya’ll don’t understand.
Tom Brady and the Patriots will be my last memories of the sport. Just like Larry Bird and the Celtics were my last memories of the NBA.
Might still watch a hockey or baseball game, heard they were going to try and play this summer.
I won’t watch NFL again, so I don’t care what they sing.
Black Supremecism
I recommend we find them a country to go with that anthem.
What if fans dont stand? Better yet, what if fans dont show up?
I would boycott it, but I didn’t watch it to begin with.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
It’s a pretty song, and in some of our hymnals. But don’t be messing with “The Star Spangled Banner”!!
Try the UFC. More sportsmanship in one fight than a whole Sunday of pro football. They beat the crap outta each other for 15-25 minutes and hug it out after. Never seen anything like it.
