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.

No they are getting the blacks to hate whites and have ben for decades
They are making whites wary of blacks in general because you dont know what you’re going to run into, you have to assume worst case scenario
Well I’d sing an anthem to Derrick Henry because he is, after all, the “king”. But I’ll mock the wack national anthem “Lift Every Voice And Sing” to scorn.
Don’t care I never ever watch the crap
I wonder what the Asian-Pacific Islander National Anthem is? And do the latins have one, too?
Beat me to it but I will add White National Anthem before NHL games and Dominican Republic Anthem before MLB games.
They can triple down and build bathrooms and drinking fountains that say “Colored” on them.
Amd I thought I could not care any less about the NFL
Interesting
Not the Black American Anthem.
Instead. The Black NATIONal Anthem.
I wonder how many non-black people/players will kneel? This is ridiculous. Should we play the Mexican National Anthem, too?
I’ll be watching F-1, IMSA or IndyCar races,thenkyouverymuch. Eff the NLF!
So the “major” events are just a few?
I got idea the other day that this was EVERY game.
Still, I don’t like it.
It would seem the NFL has a death wish. One would think the billionaire owners were smarter than that.
I had came to the conclusion that it was not a good thing to watch young men exposing themselves to the risk of CTE. I had quit watching boxing many years before and concluded the NFL was similar. These two sports are sort of like watching gladiators. Best not to encourage.
A “black national anthem” doesn’t make people “wary” of blacks. It makes them sick and tired of them.
I can only hope that Americans are smart enough to realize that this is exactly what the chicken-fried mafia types like HRC pushing this want.
All the kowtowing to blacks makes people wary. Because it doesnt fix anything it makes more and more demands and they as a group only get angrier and angrier.
This appeasement bs is kowtowing.
African-Americans make up about 13% of the USA population and are behind the biggest minority in the USA Latinos & Hispanics!!! And...the African-American population is inter marrying at rapid rates across the entire USA!!!
Does any American remember the bias against Italians, Irish, Polish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Asian, Orientals, etc. Not many..why...intermarriage..,period!!! Each year the number of “pure” African-Americans diminishes through widespread intermarriage!!! The Democrat Party is destroying themselves!!!
They are just trying to divide us that is all
Why ?
Why does any normal, red-blooded citizen of the United States still support the National Fraud League ?
Oh, I think you are right that there is an aspect of wariness. I see it as coming from the CRT more, however. Blacks are acting out violently in response to this, and people notice.
The “anthem” pisses off Americans, as it takes away one of their favorite entertainments. It may also cause some disconnect in blacks, like publicly doing something to your sister, since that is what it looks like.
