Bucs-Cowboys opener begins with Black national anthem

[bodecea]

The Black national anthem was played ahead of the NFL’s first game of the season between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

The NBC broadcast played a video of Alicia Keys singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" while the Florida A&M University Concert Choir joined in from Raymond James Stadium. Players from both teams stood in their respective end zones and locked arms to show unity ahead of the game.

Lift Every Voice and Sing" was played before the start of Week 1 games during the 2020 NFL season, and Front Office Sports reported in July the NFL planned to make the song a "prominent part of big league events."

The national anthem is usually only heard before early-season games or some primetime games, the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was played before Super Bowl LV and the draft in April.

That is one of the reasons I stopped watching professional football and basketball. When they go political, go “woke”; I go away.

At least Dallas lost.

Forgive me is this is a dumb question, but what exactly is the Black National Anthem? Is it a whole other song or does it just mean that our nation's song is being done by an African American person?

God bless you always!!!

It's a Pro-segregationist anthem.

I'm actually amused by it.

yep,more more reason to boycott the corrupt NFL.another excellent reason to boycott the NFL is the owners dont give a shit about the fans that have supported their teams for over 50 years. the franchise needs to be renamed the NO FAN LOYALTY LEAGUE because they put shiny brand new stadiums ahead of history and tradition. its sick when that is all they care about. FUCK THE NFL,anybody who supports it still is a fucking idiot.

you should add MLB baseball to that list to boycott as well.,

Lots of socks here lately. Maybe the mods are bored.

I don't keep track of daily site visits; maybe they hit a slump and need to start some fights. I'm certain half of the left wingers and half the right wingers are all Red Chinese and Russian troll farm employees anyway.

Exciting game. Too bad so many are hung up on minutia that they can't enjoy it.

All ya gotta do is turn the chanel when that stupid song comes on, like I did.

I'll do you one better.... Just ignore it or make yourself some nachos. Or enjoy it...if you prefer. I could care less about what happens before the game.

You're an idiot, no 'maybes' about it.

I don't care. Go be 'Free'.

 

[Aletheia4u]

That is great! But where is this Black nation located at?
But it is good that these football teams travel to this nation to play in order to put them on the map.

What a whiny snowflake.

 

[Burgermeister]

Played this for my kid today. Had to leave the room and gather myself. I was in a Jersey bar and there wasn't a dry eye in the place by the time she was done.

 

[Winco]

Lol. That's right. Don't watch. The NFL isn't for you anymore. Like all American culture that belongs to us now. You should convince the rest of your cuck friends to lay down and accept it like you have.

More Cancel Culture from the RWI's.
I thought they hated that and FAKE NEWS.

I guess it only applies when it fits their narrative.
Fucking RW Sheep.

 

[BrokeLoser]

I understand your post, it just reflects a complete lack of understanding about what the movement is and what the song represents

How weird...Conservatives “don’t understand” the BLM “movement”, they don’t understand what systemic racism is, they don’t understand what socialism/communism/marxism is, they don’t understand what gender confusion is...they don’t understand what “equity” is, they don’t understand what CRT is.....hahaha
I’m starting to think that “you don’t understand” is the new angle used by fucked in the head Leftist filth to self manipulate and justify their bizarre, twisted ideologies and bullshit.

Are you nuts? I have never attended a single NFL game where the National Anthem was not played!

Here comes windbag tory with his "I know everything" attitude.
Perhaps tory should read what was written.
Clearly the Anthem is played before EVERY game, what the poster said was that it was heard, (Meaning commercials are played on TV during the Live Anthem played at the stadium).

I'm waiting for you to admit your mistake.



I'll be waiting forever after I hear your attacking denial and insults.
LLLLLOOOOLOOLLLLLOOOL.

 

[Godboy]

I wouldnt know. I have boycotted the NFL for 3 years straight now.

I’m just talking about one guy who clearly did not understand. I’m happy to expand that to you as well. This is based on the distorted statements you make about it and lack of ability to articulate your opponents position
