The National Football League announced it will play what is known as the Black national anthem before every Week 1 game, ESPN reported exclusively.
The sports network also reports that the league is considering a plan to add the names of victims of police brutality to the uniforms of players “through decals on helmets or patches on jerseys.”
“The NFL also may produce educational programs about victims,” ESPN reported.
I didn’t know there were two national anthems— a white and black national anthem. No matter. The NFL can screw itself.https://t.co/KUnUdEsHIH

It is unclear if fans would be expected to stand at attention during the singing of “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing.” The Star-Spangled Banner would follow, ESPN reported.
Black communities across the globe continue to be vulnerable in very unique and unsettling ways,” UCLA professor Shana Redmond told NPR in 2018. “To sing this song is to revive that past — but also to recognize, as the lyrics of the song reveal, that there is a hopeful future that might come of it.”

In June the NFL announced it was pledging $250 million over 10 years to “combat systemic racism and support the battle against the ongoing and historic injustices faced by African-Americans,” Bleacher Report noted.

There is no black nation for there to be a black national anthem to. If they aren’t Americans, then get out!
Well since about 80% of the NFL players are black </sarc>
Been a football fan all of my life.
NO MORE
IMHO, We, the USA has one national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner”....period.....I have watched my last NFL football game forever!!!
Time to go spend $100 at the local used book store. Lots of books I have not read yet.
People need to really boycott all football, basketball at college and professional level. Post boycott meme on social media...
Las Vegas may have rolled the dice with a new stadium-—and they may have come up CRAPS.
Not in California ... at least not in church. Nancy Pelosi's nephew ("Little Gavin") has issued a new "no singing" command. Besides, it's difficult to sing with a contaminated day-long snot rag covering your mouth. (And all the while the "defenders of liberty" at the federal level continue to stand mute while cowering in fear of state politicians.)
I would sing those lyrics. Empasis on C I L L
I made to suggested last year to a guy, who has some connections to the Green Bay Packers, that they should bring out a group of veteran amputees and have them in front of these punk players, facing them at attention to the flag during the National Anthem.
I would like to see the reaction from these punk players with those guys in front of them.
Dont know if he ever got to the proper folks on that or not.
I remember the NFL.
What's that?
Systemic Racism = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Note how many are making money of the so call systemic racism.
Racism turn out to be a good deal for some.

And apparently the NFL is actively seeking to do just that!
"I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I seeeeeeee......."

I wish *I* would have thought of starting a “black lives matter” organization when that stupid,. racist motto was popularized.
Throw couple of pennies at self-hating whites and white-hating blacks, point them at places they can loot and burn and *manna/money from heaven/government* MILLIONS!
That ain’t working’ that’s the way to do it!
Similar (but co-ed Catholic) experience, except big Kennedy picture was prominently posted in the school and from time to time the nuns would talk about him in hostory class (how many times do we need to learn about Kennedy?) “our great, first and only Catholic President”, remembering him on November 22. Most of us would just not respond, not even shrug our shoulders (to avoid being called on), our code of silence ...we were more interested in dirt bombs, king of the hill, and as we hit puberty ...the opposite sex. Real normal stuff. Of course, those of us who continued to learn about history beyond school got a more complete picture of Kennedy. Though you have to admit, he would be kicked out of the demonkrap party today, unless he genuflected to their insanity ... it is possible that he would take a knee given how the Kennedys are.
