The NFL has allowed itself to become a complete joke.
They’ve decided to cave into the radicalness of Black Lives Matter.
Now, kneeling during the National Anthem is celebrated!
That is, if the National Anthem is even played.
According to CNN, the NFL has decided to play the “Black National Anthem” during week one of games:
The NFL plans to have the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — known as the Black national anthem — performed live or played before every game in Week 1 of the NFL season, a source familiar with the league’s discussions told CNN on Thursday.
The news was first reported by The Undefeated, which is owned by ESPN.
According to the source, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be played before “The Star-Spangled Banner.” This will begin with the nationally televised first game of the season, which is on September 10, when the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, host the Houston Texans.
The song also will be played during the full slate of those Week 1 Sunday afternoon games, during Sunday Night Football and during the two ESPN Monday night games, the source says.
Additionally, the source says that the league is working collaboratively with players to recognize victims of systemic racism throughout the season. Among the items being discussed with players are adding names of victims on helmet decals or jerseys patches, as well as educational programs and storytelling (such as additional PSAs about the victims and their families).
Are we not all Americans that put our hands over our hearts under one anthem?
This is a complete act of segratation.
What’s next? A separate anthem for Hispanics, for Asians?
