"Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing," commonly known as the Black national anthem, is expected to be performed live or played before every Week 1 NFL game, and the NFL is also considering a variety of other measures to recognize victims of police brutality during the upcoming season, a source familiar with the league's discussions told The Undefeated on Thursday.

This is purely a marketing move. I believe the NFL is hoping this will increase interest in China, which has a far greater potential viewership than here. That’s the motivation for virtually all pro sports now. Even MLiB and AssScar are now cucked.
Is the NFL a sports league or a political action committee?
Well BLM is a political party , right? Or is it a religion? Or Both ?
The NFL had a lot of empty seats last year.
Bet they have a lot more this year.
I love that hymn, if they played all the verses the left would have a conniption fit.
Also, I bet less than half my black friends know it.
Traitors.
Thanks for clearing up for us that football is now a black sport.
I just read this to my wife...who is a huge 49ers fan, and she hollered back, “that’s it, no more NFL!!”, with a couple of expletives directed at roger goodall.
I just want them to play the whole song, so I can watch democrat’s heads explode when they have to sing about God’s grace and honoring Him.
Actually, I am not sure NFL is going to go with this in the end — a lot of “woke blacks” and more “woke whites” kind of object to this song because it suggests that with freedom, the black life has been rescued and their future is bright.
Black national socialist anthem eh?
If they do ALL STORES SHOULD BAN NFL branded products and all states should immediately revoke NFL contracts.
F’ EM.
Terrible idea. Very stupid. Stupid is as stupid does.
Yep and it will be the final nail in the coffin. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of people.
Same here. Never heard of these things before now.
I think the Republicans are caving big time on racial madness. They are alienating their base by doing this. Juneteenth? No, thank you.
Ah, Eddie Murphy, back when SNL was still somewhat humorous.
My Dad used to take me to 49ers games at Kezar Stadium, in San Fran when I was a little kid. Grew up watching all the greats...I even officiated football for 10-years.
Good-bye NFL...you are gone from my home...just after I had gotten over the stupid idiot Kaepernick wreck and started watching again.
And don't get me started on NASCAR...also banished.
That anthem describes the suffering my dad went through as a Normandy vet so these non patriotic multi millionaires can ruin our respite from the real world.
Goodell and the NFL exexs who came up with this idea need to be dropped off in Iran wrapped in the flag they now disrespect...
LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR ALL. Has been forgotten
Negro Football League doing Negro National Anthem?
Fine by me. Hope the negros attending enjoy the good seats.
