Sooo, the “black national anthem before every first NFL game?

[herkyhawk00]

I wonder how offensive it will be if people decided to sit down during what is referred to as the black national anthem before NFL games to protest gun violence? I can’t imagine the hypocrisy that would come out?

Really a non-issue. COVID has killed thousands, ruined millions. My friends lost careers they invested their lives in. The NFL could play “Thriller” before games and I wouldn’t care.

Edit: Would tune in, great song, bad guy

You have no grasp on reality.

Are you going to predict again that they will go out of business? Wasn’t that you?

This is going to go over real well

It's much nicer than the white national anthem.

Ironically, if there's no NFL in 2020, it's almost a win for him. #blindsquirrel

There will be a human trafficking show of solidarity where players will kneel during it.

They'll be called brave for exercising their first amendment right (I assume).

This is appalling.

Nothing says unity like segregating everything.

I think changing our national anthem is a much better idea than having two national anthems - one for whites and one for blacks. This is simply inviting more division and acrimony without coming close to solving any real problems. We are moving backwards.

 

[MWardT]

Seems divisive to play one song for black people and one song for white people.

 

[timinatoria]

As long as these anthems are separate but equal, what’s the problem?

 

[strummingram]

Stop playing some unnecessary, obligatory song at sporting events.

Play Enter Sandman or something like that when teams come on the field, or the school's fight song.

Patriotism isn't a requirement for watching live sports.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Anthem is and always has been a stupid thing for sporting events that aren't the Olympics or other international competition. The original virtue signalers - patriot anthem bros - always look silly.

Mhmmmmm.. we’re working our way back to a different kind of segregation and Jamele Hill is looooving it

 

[IMCC965]

Well, I certainly hope they take every color into mind when playing anthems. Asian anthem, Hispanic anthem, Muslim anthem, and maybe throw in an anthem for the disabled just to be safe.

What about the Gay National Anthem it has to be something by the Village People!

Macho Macho Man?
YMCA?

They have been trying to extend their reach. This is what the games in London and Mexico are all about. I guess if it replaces the network pregame shows I’m all for 30-45 minutes of each groups song.

What this shines a bright light on to me is how silly it is we play any songs before games.
