She became a sort of mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team because when her recording of God Bless America was played, the Flyers never lost (so they say).I couldn't get into the article.

Taking down her link to the team now because of some popular song she sang from the '30s is just imbecilic.
Icon Paul Robeson sang the song too. Do the activists also want to revoke Robeson's blackness?
The Yankees have suspended the use of Kate Smith’s recording of “God Bless America” during the seventh-inning stretch while they investigate an allegation of racism against the singer for a song she recorded in 1939.
Yanks bench Kate Smith while investigating racism
Unsurprising as there were no blacks in major league baseball at all. Blacks had their own special league.The Yankees take social, racial and cultural insensitivities very seriously. And while no final conclusions have been made, we are erring on the side of sensitivity.”
Meanwhile, in 1939 when the song was released, the Yankees did not allow blacks on their team. How sensitive was that?
Stellar point, They should be held to 2019 mores, which is what liberals Love to do, and not the mores of 1939 thus the Yankees should no longer be a MLB team.The Yankees have suspended the use of Kate Smith’s recording of “God Bless America” during the seventh-inning stretch while they investigate an allegation of racism against the singer for a song she recorded in 1939.

Yes during their two Stanley Cup winning seasons (74/75 & 75/76) the Flyers would win when they played Kate Smith's recording of God Bless America instead of the National Anthem prior to games. It became a kind of fetish to the point where they had her come sing it live, possibly multiple times, but I believe only once during a Cup finals game.
The statue originally stood outside the Spectrum which was the Flyers original arena, then was moved to their new building, the Wells Fargo Center when the Spectrum was torn down.

Segregated baseball, Jim Crow and rampant racial prejudice
