"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.

If the shutdowns did nothing else they took all sports away and guess what, people found other things to do. Now there are a lot of people who miss sports but they have adjusted.

The questions are will they actually have a modified Baseball season, any football this year, any NBA or College hoops?

I am getting the feeling it’s going to be a no and then what? College and Pro sports will take a beating financially and does anyone get paid. That is a lot of hours of programming to redo. Replays of old games looks to be the only option. And lord what about the bookies, nothing to bet on!

We are being told everyone has to be on lockdown for a second wave.

Most businesses cannot remain open.

Then why is there a NFL season?

Just cancel if.

My husband and I were big time NFL fans. We haven’t watched in over 4 years and don’t miss it.

Read every verse of the so-called Black National Anthem

“Lift ev’ry voice and sing
‘Til earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty”
...
“Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast”
...
ending with
“May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land”

Not bad. Woke lefty heads would explode.

Especially at this time when so many of our traditions and much of our history is being annihilated by the terrorists.

Domestic terrorists they are, the enemies in the oath so many ignore because they happen to be co-workers, neighbors or badly brought up children. But take heart knowing that there's a legion out here armed up watching and waiting, ready to defend with the Constitution as our template and shield. Note they only have Memphis (which Mississippi keeps refusing to take) and our troopers are making sport of them in Nashville. These spoiled punks will win nothing but discounted Nike's and chicken sandwiches.

It's especially funny that most of these Antifa "warriors" are directionless basement dwellers who made wrong choices following fringe college studies with no real-world applications. But seeing as how a third of most universities' budgets are vacuumed up by non-contributing Diversity con-artists living off undeserved guilt and ALL of the Ivy League schools presented their cowardly underbellies at the first accusation of racial preferences...

I don’t think the songs are bad.

It’s the concept of anything being some rebellious separatist “anthem” and placing it on the same level.
