The NFL reportedly plans to play the so-called Black national anthem before all its major events in the upcoming season.
As part of a doubling down on its politicking from last season, America’s biggest professional sports league will play “Lift Every Voice And Sing” before all “tentpole events,” according to a report in Front Office Sports.
The site reported, citing unnamed league sources, that those high-profile events will include the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 9, all playoff games including the Super Bowl, and the league’s college draft.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” will not replace the national anthem, but instead be played in addition to it, according to the report.
However, those tentpole events are usually the only ones in which “The Star-Spangled Banner” makes it onto the TV broadcasts.
Meaning that every time the league pipes the national anthem into America’s homes this season, it’ll be accompanied by “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” Front Office Sports explained.
This leaning in on political demands in a politically polarized nation stands in contrast to most other major professional sports leagues, even the NBA, which is removing most of the on-floor social slogans.

And to further divide America, please join...
Horrible news. But I really don’t care because I hate football and never watch. They can wear pink ballet tutus on the the field or play in their jockstraps. No biggie.
I do think that that is the plan.
Just like in their slaving days, these Dems have to get the rest of America to hate blacks as much as they do. How else do they keep them on their plantation? They could offer hope and prosperity, but jaw jackin’ is cheaper.
They ought to all spend the day on their F’ing knees.
How many colored anthems are there in the US?
How many countries are so utterly screwed up that they have more than one anthem?
How many more fans can the NFL hemorrhage?
Does anyone care?
Spit.
De Camptown ladies?
So every game will start with the attempt to divide the country by race.
NFL sinks lower with every passing day!!! How stupid can the NFL management be? I guess, by their actions,...pretty stupid!!! This USA is truly a mixed “RAINBOW” nation from A-Z.....White, Latina, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Oriental, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Europeans, and on and on and on!!!
Ever hear of mixed races...married by the millions!!! NFL....not too bright at all!!! Each passing year, we Americans inter-marry more and more!!! Democrat Party is destroying themselves!!!
How long until they ban the flag?
These communists are slowly changing the country.
Oh gosh i swore. Ugh. Meant to write F!!
I no longer watch, but I hope someone takes a knee while they play it. Turn your back and kneel, then stand at attention for the National Anthem.
Football is gay.

It’s just a matter of time before they replace the real anthem with the fake one, but it doesn’t matter as I’ve written them off permanently.
I do feel some shame by the NFL Picks thread posted here onFR.
There is no such thing as a Black National Anthem.
Stopped watching the thug-a-rama a few years ago, but really find this disturbing and divisive. F*** the NFL. And Nike.
