The NFL announced plans to perform or play the black national anthem, before games during the beginning of this year's season, ESPN reports.

'Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing,' traditionally referred to as the black national anthem, will be performed before 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' during the season opener on September 10, when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans.

The NFL, in collaboration with the NFL Players Association, is also considering featuring names of victims who suffered police brutality on uniforms, helmets or patches on jerseys.

Doubling down on the woke. Will the players stand for the black national anthem, then kneel for the U.S. national anthem?

I imagine that “Lift Every Voice” should only be sung by blacks. If I were to sing it, I could be accused of cultural appropriation.

Go for it! See how low you can go.

Don’t care, I no longer watch any NFL, NBA, MLB

never even heard that song, and just listened to it.. and.. ITS AWFUL !!

[Jonty30]

Is the NFL still in business?

[Revel]

First they have to play the Indian national anthem.

[Tell It Right]

Black national anthem played BEFORE the national anthem, not after.

Next the flag of Wakanda will be above the U.S. flag. Only one of those is real. Just like the national anthem.

How many years before the NFL goes under???

another chance to bash the NFL ping!

The last NFL I watched was around the same time I did this:

OK, slight exaggeration but not by much.

First they have to play the Indian national anthem.

Indian Reservation by Paul Revere and the Raiders?

[Artcore]

And we still have idiots in this country who can’t live without their precious NFL!

[Agatsu77]

Screw them! I won’t be watching anyway.

lift every voice and sing
sling some rocks and buy some bling

drive by a house of a rival gang member
empty the clip in their house mid September

hit the 4 year old in the head
while she is sleeping in bed

wake up at noon in Detroit

Lift every voice and sing
