And the NFL wants to place it before the REAL NATIONAL ANTHEM, THE ONLY NATIONAL ANTHEM.

Glad I'm a hockey fan....

"Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," a song also known as the Black national anthem, will be performed live or played prior to "The Star Spangled Banner" at each of the NFL's Week 1 games in 2020, according to the Associated Press, which adds that the league is also considering memorializing victims of police brutality with helmet decals or jersey patches. These moves are seen as part of the league's collaborative work with its players to raise awareness of systemic racism and police brutality.

Meanwhile the NBA is doing this:

On Saturday, it was reported that players will be able to include social justice messages on the backs of their jerseys at Disney. That decision, while powerful, puts the onus on players. The league itself needed to send a message of solidarity, and is doing so with its latest decision. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Zach Lowe and Ramona Shelburne, the league plans to paint "Black Lives Matter" on both sidelines on all three of the courts they will be using at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.

NFL NBA are dead to me.
Dead to me too. NASCAR as well but I never watched NASCAR nor the NBA, rarely NFL. I say this as a person who reported for a website on high school sports. By the way that is dead to me too after seeing post by high school teachers and coaches supporting riots.
Nothing says 'turn off the TV' like black millionaire sportsball players proselytizing about white privilege to Caucasians that are lucky to make 50k per year.
Weird isn’t it.
 
TV sports have been dead to me for years. I haven’t had ESPN on my Dish package for at least 5 years and haven’t missed a thing. SportsCenter is now nothing more than nonstop social and political commentary with a sports theme. I will be curious to see what the NBA and NFL ratings are in the upcoming seasons as both leagues continue to distance themselves from their fans.
 
Waiting to see how they will ruin the Olympics more than they have at present. It’s my favorite sporting event due to the shooting sports though what few remain.

I don't know whether I should have put this in politics but here goes. Nevertheless, I put here for wide distribution because I think it's absolute BS.
Guy sent me an email that said the NFL is going to play the "Black National Anthem" before the National Anthem at NFL football games. If this is true I could not think of anything more divisive.
I don't follow the NFL so if this is a bunch of crap please do not dump same on me for asking.
 
I've heard that's a possible outcome.

No matter, I have not watched game in years, don't see that changing anytime in the future!

I really don't care what song they play!
