only racist have a problem with the continuation of integrating black people.
Aren’t you Hispanic? You guys are not included in anything at all
Not even slightly surprised your dumbass said that. the only thing your good for is giving your dad a rim job when he sneaks into your bedroom when mom is asleep.
Oh man, I hate this country more and more every day.
Patriots stopped watching football, basketball and baseball years ago.
Democrats and other commie traitors captured those cultural institutions. In a few years, they will have whithered and died.
So what, why do people care. If you are against the black national anthem than you can just skip that part and watch the game. That simple
If you dislike gherkins, you can pick them off your burger or you can ask to have your burger without gherkins. Seems like some people have opted for the second option, which isn't unnatural or wrong. When enough people ask, it just becomes weird that they keep serving gherkins with their burgers and you have to wonder what their goal with those gherkins are.
As a black man I honestly don't know what is the black national anthem, to actually support us black people I think they can call out people who are racist and give them a penalty. Problem solved!
Yes, because racism has not disappeared anywhere. This needs to be reminded.
BLM is a terrorist group. What in the world is "the black national anthem"? Certainly not one from an African nation, I think. I'll say fair enough when they play the "white national anthem", the Asian one, etc.
Because they’re racist funded groups by the 1% deep states just like feminism and LGBQ. To divide and weaken people to be able to bring the full rollout of the mark of the beast!
Take a bit of money to destroy yourself and your the world!
What IS the black national anthem, "Superfly"? And, where IS this black nation?
Are they gonna play the white national anthem, too? I want my nation of white to be represented!!
And, what about the yellow, red and brown natiional anthems?
Quite frankly, it's retarded. I never saw the US National Anthem as something that excludes blacks or any Non-White demographic from it. The radical left are doing that with the National Anthem themselves for clout.
For anyone who thinks this is a good idea, imagine changing the anthem out for say… something to honor the confederacy and imagine the consequences. People are cheering the slow death of America and have no idea the dark times that will lead to.
NFL is just pandering. All they give a fuck about is profits. Else they would use their power and influence to actually help these people.
I wish I was a football fan so I could boycott the nfl
I only watch real football (aka what you Americans call soccer) when the game is on.
I will not watch a single game. I will boycott most of the sponsors too.
Lmao trust me you not watching the games will do no harm to the NFL. You’ll just be sitting at home in a funk come football season. That’s too bad for you.
@HollyK21 nope, their ratings are in the toilet. This will be a real shock to the owners. I am not the only one who is fed up with this crap.
Fed up with what crap? There’s nothing wrong with the song.
Also, a quick google search will show that ratings were suffering a bit in 2020 but only by 17% and they are back on track as of late.
@HollyK21 They are disrespecting the real National Anthem. There is only one National Anthem. It is called the Star Spangled Banner. In hockey they can play the Star Spangled Banner and Oh, Canada because both US and Canada have hockey teams. This is not the case with the NFL.
Honestly let’s use facts, not emotions. This song is in no way replacing our national anthem. It is only replacing what is sung at football games. Secondly, this song is not disrespectful or divisive. Have you read the lyrics?
@HollyK21 If it is not the American National Anthem it does not belong there. It could be the goodship lollypop and i would not watch.
That’s your choice, and an unfortunate one because it sounds like you enjoy football. The NFL is trying to be progressive and inclusive of everyone. The national anthem is arguably outdated and does not represent every American. This song is inclusive of everyone, ie the title: lift every voice and sing. If you hate it that is fine, and you are not alone in that notion. But there are far more people who do not share your view and think the song is fine.
Its not replacing the national anthem just what they play at football games? so the national anthem. Anyway how does this help black people? It doesn’t it just disrupts our free American culture by disrespecting our nation and our liberty
Well, the song isn’t geared towards black people. Have you read the lyrics? I don’t see black mentioned anywhere and it’s called Lift Every Voice and Sing.
You must not be American
And no, it is not replacing our national anthem, as you both so dramatically are acting like it does. Just what is sung at the NFL.
You must not know how to read. Did you check out the lyrics?
And yes I am American, thanks for asking. I don’t even watch football. I just think all this outrage over them changing the anthem from something outdated to something more inclusive is what exactly is divisive.
It does not matter what the lyrics are they don’t belong together.
And its not the NFL’s job to dictate how our culture is and what we stand for as a nation
@HollyK21 It is a tradition to play the Star Spangled Banner before sporting events. It is also a tradition that everyone stands and removes all headgear. Erasing our traditions is a slap in the face to all our veterans and all the people that worked hard for the last 250 years to make America the greatest country in history.
@Nick473 if you’re too narrow minded to understand that the lyrics are divisive and you have zero desire to be progressive then just say that. Regardless you’ll just be sitting with a frowny face come football season since you’re opting out of watching it and that’s too bad for you.
@exitseven who’s tradition exactly? It’s not mine and clearly not the tradition of many others because as you see, it will no longer be sung at the NFL.
Also nick, the NFL is not dictating a single thing for you or anyone else. All of these things are a choice for you and you are not obligated to watch the nfl. Simple as that.
@HollyK21 It has been sung at every NFL game in history until now. I would call that a tradition.
I could care less about football and i never mentioned the lyrics to begin with. The issue is that you progressives think that you know a better way but you dont and nobody wants this
Traditions change.
@Nick473 clearly people want it, or else it wouldn’t happen.
No clearly someone got a paycheck
I disagree, and after reading the lyrics (which you so strangely refuse to do), I think it’s a perfectly appropriate and uplifting song to individuals of every race.
And traditions don’t change. Thats the whole point.
They do, because traditions are difficult to maintain as society changes.
Up until slavery was abolished it was “tradition”. Should we have stuck with that as well?
So you dont like the national anthem?
Skirting right around my question, I see.
So are you. You dont like freedom?
And no im not answering your silly unrelated questions so you can try to prove a point with flawed logic
Lmao now you’re getting really desperate to make some sort of point. If you won’t answer my questions then I sure as shit won’t answer yours.
And you asking if I like freedom is related, right? Go to sleep.
Also, my logic is not flawed; I’m just going off of what you say. You said traditions do not change and that is the point of them, correct? So by YOUR logic, slavery should still be a thing because that was very much a tradition.
So you prefer an anthem about singing loud. Instead of one that has meaning?
Have you read the lyrics?
“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.”
That’s just a verse but I’d say that is more than about “singing loud”.
Holly traditions stay the same. No matter what they are good or bad. Thats what a tradition is by definition. If you decide not to follow a tradition thats your freedom
Actually they don’t, but if YOUR traditions say the same then that’s fine. Stop arguing to argue, especially when you refuse to address a single statement I make and instead keep hammering me with questions that I have in fact answered.
You forgot the part about the slaughtered people how ironic and biased
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
Keep cherry picking from a perfectly fine song though lmao
Im not arguing thats just what it is.
It’s really not😂
So you have traditions that change every year?
Like you have the easterbunny at Christmas now?
Common
If you want to be ignorant and uninformed then go do that with your friends (assuming you actually have friends) while you miss football season.
Nope, my traditions don’t change every year.
Uninformed about what?
And football is a waste of time just in general
My goodness lol have a good night, nick. Hope you find a hobby or something to do while you miss all the games.
Well if football is a waste of time for you then you shouldn’t even be going back and forth with me.
I dont even see the point. Its like a rip off “black anthem” thats not even about black people.
I dont care about football were talking about patriotism and how Americans should view our country
Because Americans should view the country exactly how you view it, right? also, the new song is very patriotic, in my opinion.
The point of the song isn’t to be about black people, genius. That’s why it’s called “Lift every voice and sing” not lift every black voice. Like what aren’t you getting, dude?
Its not about how i view it. Its about our individual rights, our freedom, justice, and a government that serves its people
So why are they calling it the black anthem?
Are they pretending to do something for them?
It was dubbed the black anthem because of its power in voicing a cry for liberation and affirmation for African American people. However, the song in its entirely is not solely for African American individuals, as the lyrics will state. It is for EVERY voice.
Is that your issue? Because the fact that you feel like it’s geared towards black people seems to be your key point in arguing. I mean this is a new anthem for a sport that you don’t even care about, so what’s your outrage over?
Ahh so they listen to this before they go loot stores and flip cop cars? Sounds more like digging in an open wound doesn't it?
It’s because blm just causes destruction
And its good for politics if they weve that into our culture
You might not see it but our country is losing its grip and ill be surprised if were still a nation in the next 20 years
Wow, I’ve heard some ignorant shit in my day but this takes the cake. I’m super grateful that your opinion does not make or break what happens in this country. Have a good night.
I’d appreciate if you don’t say anything else to me anymore, I’ve been poisoned enough by your racist outlook of this situation.
Did they not do that holly? In nearly every city? Thats how blm wants change. This is not ignorant or racist
Blm does not represent black peoples best interests
This was all political because trump was in office. You dont see anyone helping them now and there is no outrage in the streets on the news anymore. Its just crafted to minipulate masses of people and trick some
Its all about protecting the power structure. Not the actual people who suffered from this
@HollyK21 No it is just a way for liberals to let the rest of us know who's in charge, I hope they enjoy it while they can,. They won;t be happy when the pendulum swings the other way.
@exitseven dramatic.
im black and id rather that we don't play any anthems at all before games, BUT, if they have to play the anthem I am for it
Yes. The could play the soviet national anthem and I wouldn't give a fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/qLcc19mt4eAFor some reason I'm getting a lot of NFL videos in my YouTube feed now. I still don't understand the game. For example, what is the significance of the ball?
Black isn't a nation. There is no black national anthem any more than the Dukes of Hazard theme song is the Confederate racist national anthem.
Don't like it, then don't watch. Find another sport.
