    Report: NFL to play Black national anthem before 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at Week 1

    The pregame festivities during Week 1 of this year’s NFL season are reportedly going to include a new song.


    The NFL is planning to have “ .”


    The NFL is also reportedly considering other measures for the season to recognize victims of police brutality. That could reportedly include listing names of victims on uniforms through helmet decals or jersey patches, as well as educational programs.


    All of this comes after a notable shift in the NFL’s approach to racial inequality. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made headlines when he stated “Black lives” matter and conceded the league was wrong for not listening to past player protests, a statement that came in response to a public demand from many of the league’s Black stars.



    After the vast majority of its players knelt while the national anthem was played for an empty stadium, the National Women’s Soccer League changed its policy to allow players to remain in the locker room while the song is played.


    Major League Soccer has said it will take a different route by simply not playing the anthem, citing the lack of fans in the stands.


    MLB and the NBA have not yet announced if they will do anything differently with the anthem when they return to action.....snip~

    Looks like they are determined to have a smaller fan base.

    What’s the black national anthem? “Rolling down the street smoking endo, sippin on gin and Juice...... Laid back.....With my mind on my money and my money on my mind”.

    Of course you can’t sing that unless you also grab your balls at the same time.

    I see a Black Lives Matter Flag being raised. I wonder if the Social Justice Warriors will take a knee.

    A "Black National Anthem".
    So now they are seceding and no longer want to be Americans?
    ...and how arrogant of them to think black Americans speak for the entire race of black people all over the globe.

    These morons do not even speak for all black Americans.


    ...but can we all agree FREE BIRD is the national anthem of Rock N Roll?


    As a side note, I always thought America the Beautiful was a much more inspirational song.

    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

    The NAACP says the song is for the power of voicing the cry for Liberation and affirmation of the African American people. What about the Haitians, Jamaicans?
