ICYMI: NFL to Play 'Black National Anthem' Before Week 1 Season Openers (Details)
If there’s a “black national anthem,” does that mean there’s a “white national anthem?” Liberals would obviously say the national anthem is a white national anthem – but they’re just being ridiculous.
How can the NFL possibly think this is a good move? How does this move the needle?
Will MLB and the NBA soon follow?
From ESPN:
“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.

What’s a black National anthem? We all are American. We have one anthem for all! We all built this nation. We have one song. If you don’t like it don’t sing it. If you don’t like America there’s over 200 other countries you are free to move to. United we stand. Divided we fall.

I don’t know the words to the black national anthem either.

Two comments.
First, I’m disappointed but not surprised by how many white people have never heard of the Black national anthem.
Second, I don’t think this is necessary. Black people are calling for substantive change, not symbolic gestures of support. https://t.co/ArU3IGw4ta

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
