Leave it to our gigantic media conglomerates to double down on bad ideas.
Repeating a controversial move from last year’s Super Bowl (and most recent sports events since 2020), the NFL has announced that they are, again, beginning the game with the so-called “Black National Anthem,” as well as the actual national anthem, at Super Bowl LVIII next month.
As announced by Adam Schefter, an ESPN reporter and podcast host, on X (formerly Twitter), the NFL has chosen country legend Reba McEntire to sing the national anthem, rapper Post Malone (of all people) to sing “America the Beautiful,” and singer/actress Andra Day, most famous for playing Billie Holliday in the 2021 biopic “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

That stunt was lip-synched.
I’ve been sick of her for 15 years.
Proclaiming that blacks are not part of the nation.
That song is a waltz. It should never be performed in 4/4 time.
Each country has a national anthem. ONE national anthem.
This is an attempt to divide the country more than it already is.
I guess Pat Boone was unavailable ...
Wow, she’s been around that long?.....my how time flies!............
C I L L
Thank you for posting these inspiring lyrics!
Who cares if it’s a waltz?
What about a Hispanic national anthem? Asian? Jewish? Indian? Native American? gay?
I guess a white national anthem is ok then? maybe some 2 livecrew. Get the f out?
Half the white people at a hospital I recently visited had NFL stuff on. Why should the NFL stop, their fans don’t care.
La Bamba?
“...beginning the game with the so-called “Black National Anthem,” which will be a stirring rendition of “Camptown Races”....
Don't know that one, huh? What about Swing Low, Sweet Chariot?
My mom always said “why bother watching the whole game, it’s just gonna come down to a guy kicking a field goal on the last play” lol
Will be pre-occupied during half time watching ………. something other then that BS.
I’m down to F1 and about 5 people in Tennis.
