I didn't know y'all had two different nations down there? Seems odd... Do you think sports have been gone so long that people will watch no matter what? Or will people finally act on what they say and stop watching?
"Source: NFL plans to play Black national anthem before Week 1 games 4:10 PM ET
"Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing," traditionally known as the Black national anthem, is expected to be performed live or played before every Week 1 NFL game, and the league is considering a variety of other measures during the upcoming season to recognize victims of police brutality, a source familiar with the league's discussions told The Undefeated on Thursday.
The song would be performed before "The Star-Spangled Banner," the sources said. The NFL's season opener is scheduled for Sept. 10, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans.
Having recently displayed increased awareness about the problems of systemic racism, the NFL, in collaboration with the NFL Players Association, is also considering listing the names of victims on uniforms through decals on helmets or patches on jerseys. The NFL also may produce educational programs about victims, among other plans.
Early last month, commissioner Roger Goodell in a video admitted that the league had erred in how it handled peaceful NFL player protests of police brutality and systemic oppression. Goodell condemned racism and affirmed that Black lives matter, pledging his allegiance to the players in the battle for equal justice under the law.

Also in June, the league revealed plans to increase its social justice footprint by pledging to donate $250 million over a 10-year period.
The league hopes its efforts demonstrate "a genuine commitment to the public, players and coaches and that player voices continue to be heard," the source wrote in a text message. "This is key to educating fans, and becoming a prominent voice in the fight to end racism.""

Well they wont have to play it very loud cause there won't be anybody in the stands. And I hear they're not going to allow whites to play in the NFL anymore.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

"Lift ev'ry voice and sing 'Til earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies Let it resound loud as the rolling sea Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on 'til victory is won Stony the road we trod Bitter the chastening rod Felt in the days when hope unborn had died Yet with a steady beat Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered Out from the gloomy past 'Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast God of our weary years God of our silent tears Thou who has brought us thus far on the way Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light Keep us forever in the path, we pray Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee Shadowed beneath Thy hand May we forever stand True to our God True to our native land"
The native land is Africa. Why should there be a divisive song to Africa sang at American Football games.
It's looking less and less like we can live together. No more than a handful of black people have spoke out against all the destruction and hurt being done by black people. Unless more black people step up to police their own, soon there will be no living black people in America.

They should probably hang onto that 250 mil. They might need it to pay those overpaid players when the fans dont show up...

Did you know? Slim Pickens began rodeoing at the age of 12. Over the next two decades he toured the country on the rodeo circuit, becoming a highly-paid and well-respected rodeo clown.

Quit watching NFL years ago, don't watch any "professional sports" and at this point don't care if I ever do again.
Hope they all go under X2 - I have enjoyed all the hours I got back in my life after ditching the NFL. Looks like I’ll get even more time back now thanks to NASCAR.

A real American and a real American sport- pee on grown men making millions to chase a stupid ball. I wouldn't begrudge them their success except they seem intent to paint me as somehow guilty just because I'm not black.

I just saw this, and I am embarrassed to be a NFL fan! My team finally won the super bowl, and now this...I am sickened!

Is there a caucasion national anthem or do white people need to get one?
If white people take a knee during the black anthem is it a hate crime?

May have to switch to hockey...don’t think they’ve kneeled and each side stands whether it’s the American or Canadian Anthem.

Screw the nfl, haven't watched it for a few years now. I'm done with nascar also... I love my country and fishing, Ill get by just fine! "Lift ev'ry voice and sing 'Til earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies Let it resound loud as the rolling sea Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on 'til victory is won Stony the road we trod Bitter the chastening rod Felt in the days when hope unborn had died Yet with a steady beat Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered Out from the gloomy past 'Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast God of our weary years God of our silent tears Thou who has brought us thus far on the way Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light Keep us forever in the path, we pray Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee Shadowed beneath Thy hand May we forever stand True to our God True to our native land"
The native land is Africa. Why should there be a divisive song to Africa sang at American Football games.
It's looking less and less like we can live together. No more than a handful of black people have spoke out against all the destruction and hurt being done by black people. Unless more black people step up to police their own, soon there will be no living black people in America.
Keith Dang, that song is going to add a quarter to the game.

As Americans, we have one and only one national anthem and as Americans, we should stand with our hand over our hearts anything else is unacceptable. If the blacks start this totally unacceptable rant everyone in attendance should walkout.
