The NFL reportedly plans to play a song titled, Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing, also known as the Black National Anthem, prior to every season opening game this year.
The song, according to a source to ESPN, will be played prior to the Star-Spangled-Banner.
According to ESPN:
Early last month, commissioner Roger Goodell in a video admitted that the league had erred in how it handled peaceful NFL player protests of police brutality and systemic oppression. Goodell condemned racism and affirmed that Black lives matter, pledging his allegiance to the players in the battle for equal justice under the law.

The NFL is also reportedly considering other social justice measures, such as listing the names of victims of alleged police brutality on team uniforms.

Gee, and to think I'll never see or hear any of it. Ever.
All of this silly garbage will eventually backfire.
I once spent a lot of money on pro sports, baseball more than anything but I figure the pansies running MLB will capitulate sooner rather than later so I'm shining that one on as well.

I always record the games. I’ll know to fast forward the first few minutes.

Killing yourself slowly, NFL. And, what a way to divide US. Goodell should condemn his own racism. Fools who have gotten themselves in position of power TO destroy what was the greatest country on the face of the earth. I guess we can't keep it. The Republic. What's next?

It was so very easy to turn off NFL games several years ago. I haven’t missed it one bit. Now I really feel good about NOT watching it.

So we have the national anthem, forged during a war to sever ties with england, and a special national anthem for a racial group. Ss my grandmother would say, isn’t that sweet.

There is not going to be any NFL season. We are not going to be forced into masks, and to sit at home on our couches, and then have $30M dollar NFL players at work, and without masks. No way.

Aside from all their racist garbage: If they try to open a regular NFL season, it would be an admission that things are getting normal. They can't do that because the election wouldn't be for another couple of months. Bit of a quandary for them.

How about the Asian National Anthem and the Hispanic National Anthem too, before the Black National Anthem, then go with the America's National Anthem. Mr. Goodell is sure a goofball. I wonder how Vince Lombardi feels about this.

Instead of playing the black national anthem (which no one knew existed) why not announce the names of all the illegitimate children the black players have sired.

It's time to shut the NFL and it band of thugs down turn the channel and don't watch them. If they want to disrespect out National Anthem our men and women in blue then the HELL with them! Each and everyone of us have the power to bring them to their knees......don't watch their games. I am sick and tired of hearing them whine. I for one will not watch any pro sports program the remainder to the year. Time to do your part and just say no!

Guess what, Goodell, the league just erred again. They will be playing to a much smaller audience, which equates to much less revenue.

Maybe we could come up with a new idea that will make everyone happy. How about The Negro Leagues? They would have their own teams, play each other, and not have to be annoyed by people who arent like them. This could work.

This has no bearing on my life. I haven't watched a down of the NFL in 3 years now, and don't plan to ever watch another second of spoiled over-paid America-hating thugs disrespecting everything I love about this country!!!!!
And, sadly, with the way that college players are making "demands" on their schools, I have the feeling that I have watched my last down of college football too.
At least we can still check out the local high school games to get our football fix if this damn virus will ever go away!!!!!

Liberals ruin everything.
Black players wearing jerseys with names like George Floyd or Rayshard Brooks? Imagine a group of white players violently wrestling a lone black player to the ground with a jersey like that. Ouch -- bad optics. How long before BLM and the SJWs call the NFL racist for that? They'll demand the NFL ban white players from tackling black players ever again.
Liberals ruin everything.

Just another reason to watch grass grow and paint dry on fall Sunday afternoons.
The decline started with Kaepernick.
I thought NFL stood for Not For Long
Now, it's National Felons League.
Of all the sports I played in High School, football was the most fun.
Now, it's not worth the bother.

Did you know there was a black national anthem? What nation? I have an idea. How about a black football league and a white football league? Let wealthy blacks set up their teams and pay the players, arrange for stadiums and television rights and all that? Do they play American football (that is what the soccer- and rugby-playing countries call our football) in Africa?
