Teenaged singing duo, Chloe x Halle, performed the national anthem to kick off the NFL on Thursday Night while wearing shirts displaying pictures of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
The sister act hit a virtual stage to sing the anthem and delivered a soaring version of the song. But each chose an activist shirt to wear as they performed.

Not surprised.
A monkey can be trained to do that.
“A monkey can be trained to do that.”
Cue Howard Cosell...
I was on the jury a couple of weeks ago for a murder trial. The victim was a black man, Louis Watson, and he was shot nine times with an AK-47 by his “friend”, another black man, late one night while they drank and played video games.
Does his name show up on anyone’s helmet or attire?
I didn’t think so.
I didn’t watch last nite... no thanks.
Has anyone actually read the Police Report — that woman was involved in drug dealing - and played her part...
Having lived in Louisville and went to school there- and working along with the LPD — this just does not happen -
NFL are scum.
I thought there was more to the story about Taylor.
I am so sick of these ethnically remodeled renditions of our anthem done by dolts who can not follow the music but squall all over the scale in search of a socially distanced note that is not there.
St. George Floyd, the patron-saint of fentanyl addicts.
Someone watched? I want names damn it.
“... squall all over the scale in search of a socially distanced note that is not there.”
That has to be the best description of “... ethnically remodeled renditions ...” I have ever heard.
In fact your entire description is worthy of Internet Winner of the Day award.
The NFL is on a suicide mission.
How hard would it been to maintain a “no politics in sports” rule—to officially remain politically neutral?
Yea, there would have been some pushback from the left, but not more than they could have handled.
There isn’t but one non-traditional version that is worth listening to and it is so good, it brings chills...
The singer is a Navy veteran (Hospital Corpsman in Afghanistan)...

Good question.
Rather than maintaining neutrality, it seems that sports, have made a decision to bend over backwards to prove that they are liberal. They bend over backwards to deliver virtue signaling moments.
But does all this virtue signaling really placate the radical types who push all this stuff? Are the radicals even fans of the NFL in the first place?
So what is an ordinary fan to think? Are they saying that you have to be liberal to watch a damn football game?
I didn’t know anyone was watching the No Fans League
