NFL plans to play Black national anthem before Week 1 games

[michael777]

"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 source said. The NFL's season opener is scheduled for Sept. 10, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans.

Sports leagues are "all in" on this movement.

Imagine the post TD celebrations the players will do.

It's simple. If people don't watch, the message will be sent. If any league starts this shit, I won't watch. I haven't seen any of it in months anyway so it won't matter to me.

If TV ratings drop, will whites be shamed for tuning out?

When white people kneel because of the violence being propelled upon them during that anthem, will they get support?

It's simple. If people don't watch, the message will be sent. If any league starts this shit, I won't watch. I haven't seen any of it in months anyway so it won't matter to me.

Unfortunately this year the first excuse for low ratings will probably "people lost interest in sports because of the break caused by Covid"

Lebron James= GREAT GREAT American

When he lied about the racist statement spray painted on his gate or when he claimed he started a school in Akron until we found out it's funded by the taxpayers?

Which one of those two things makes him a great American?
