The NFL Clown Show with the so-called "black national anthem"

[Patriot01]

How many times are you gonna move those goalposts?

We started with comparing Americas immigration to japan, and you got yourself twisted lol

 

[airplanemechanic]

Admit it

As a Conservative, you are enraged by anything that honors or respects blacks

Which of these do you support?

MLK day
Black History Month
Black Lives Matter

Do we have a white history month? If not, by definition, black history month is racist.

The level of divisiveness continues, from the NFL to big corporations to the Democratic Party.

MLK holiday, black history month, and the even dumber juneteenth that is now a national holiday (a day that has no meaning outside of black slaves in Texas being informed by a Union General that Lincoln freed them), to reparation demands, now this.

We have ONE National Anthem, screw the NFL, and the rest of the dividers.

Black national anthem at Super Bowl stirs debate on social media

The pregame festivities for the Super Bowl will feature the Black national anthem on Sunday but it stirred debate on social media before the players took the field.

I would trade Juneteenth--an actual historical event--with "Kwanzaa" every year. Into perpetuity.

We have (had?) a glorious nation. Beautiful. Two oceans, mountains, plains, desert. Great, hardworking, independent people. A founding document like no other in the history of humankind.

That said.

Objectively, our National Anthem sucks. As a piece of music, it sucks.

It's unsingable for the average singer, in terms of range.

The part we sing--verse one--is a word soup that is really a single question: which flag is flying? That's it. It's pertinent to one battle in one war. It's not about our founding, our beautiful people or land. It's about one man peering through the dark and asking--in too many words--"which flag is flying"? The question is answered in the next three verses, but nevermind--we never sing them.

We should have a different National Anthem but never will. So we're stuck with our sucky one. Oh well.

It might help to know the history…

Well, almost.

If you read my post you would know that I do know the history

Oh, I did read it….and the anthem isn’t meant to be a pop song….it’s a ballad of love of this great nation.

Did you hear Chris Stapleton do it for the Super Bowl? It was moving…

It was moving not because of the song. It was moving because of the singer.

 

[Patriot01]

It was moving not because of the song. It was moving because of the singer.

A hippie ?

 

[j-mac]

It was moving not because of the song. It was moving because of the singer.

The artist can only do so much with any particular song…Now granted, Stapleton is very talented, but the love for his country made the song come to life…

 

[Hellbilly]

A hippie ?

An extremely talented singer.

Not for me.

 

[j-mac]

Why? Don’t like the anthem, or the country it represents?

 

[Hellbilly]

I’m not fond of the anthem.

What would you rather the anthem be?

Always been fond of this one.
An anthem should make you feel something.

Kwanzaa
Another black celebration that enrages Conservatives

You didn’t listen to it.

Lol, I like Frank Marino, especially his live rendition of King Bee…but no….

Maybe you feel nothing, because you don’t have any respect for the country…?
