Save kneeling for the victims
Someone will have to translate this into jive.
NFL, NBA, BLM.....DOA!
The irony of BLM promoting a song that celebrates liberty is lost on them all apparently.
I am so over pro sports. All of ‘em.
NFL> NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
NBA> NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
BLM> BURN, LOOT, MURDER
The now highest paid QB in history is woke.
Half a billion dollars and he needs to fight oppression.
Thanks for nothing, KC Chiefs.
BLM is basically a Marxists organization using the black community to further it’s cause. Catchy name - that has NOTHING to do with their goal.
As far as the NBA/NFL is concerned...Well, IF it weren’t for the “ball”, most of these jerks would be in prison orange doing time.
NFL, NBA, BLM....nothing but a bunch of sorry azz losers.
The NFL and NBA seem awfully racist in those photos. Not many white guys. What’s up with that?
If BLM says, “Slavery was/is wrong,” aren’t they then saying that Mohammad was a liar? Sounds like hate speech to me.
I dumped TV in 1997. I could not have done it if I watched pro sports on TV.
I like to watch minor league baseball live, though. :)
Um, one more comment like that and you'll find yourself in a re-education camp....
“The now highest paid QB in history is woke.”
What the public doesn’t understand is the team will be taking a pay cut this year in income, so there are a couple of things his massive contract accomplishes. First, it lowers the amount of funds available for free agent signing and replacement of retiring or injured players. And the other direction is they made big bucks last year. If they spend it like a drunken sailor it really identifies Jerry Granville’s comment, “NFL...not for long.” We can hope.

Bet there isn’t even going to be a season.
Funny how they haven’t kneeled to protest violence against their wives or girlfriends or against dogs. Hmmmm.

For FReepers not familiar with this song, it’s NOT an anthem, here ya go:
Song title: Lift ev’ry voice and sing
Also known as: The Black National Anthem
Also known as: The Negro National Anthem
Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list’ning 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 chast’ning 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 bright 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.
The song was written by James Johnson (1871-1938) with the melody written by his brother John Johnson (1873-1954).
James Johnson was a leader in the NAACP.
Ironically, the song was originally written to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.
I wonder if those who are celebrating the playing of this song have spent any time really concentrating on and thinking about the last two lines of the song.
James Johnson was a former treasurer and President of the Colored Republican Club
