According to a shocking new report the so-called ‘Black National Anthem’ will now be played at all future NFL games during the traditional pre-game ceremony beginning on September 9th of this year.

As Front Office Sports reports:

The NFL also plans to make “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — often referred to as the Black national anthem — a prominent part of all big-league events, said sources. They will likely highlight victims of racial injustice with a “Say Their Stories” project, as well.

In today’s hyper-partisan media environment, most fans experience football through the prism of television. This year’s renewed social-justice messaging efforts will be visible to the 200 million-plus TV viewers who watch game telecasts each season.

In 2020, the league suffered its first regular-season TV audience downturn in three years. Schedule irregularities and postponements due to COVID-19 were a likely factor, though some propose that social justice messaging impacts viewership as well.

While the NFL declined to comment, sources said this year’s social justice initiative could be as big, if not bigger, than last season’s in terms of spend, resources, and overall commitment.

 

If the NFL thinks playing into radical politics is a good way to boost viewership (which is already down significantly) it may be in for a very rude awakening this fall.

  1. What about the Asian National Anthem, or the Native American National Anthem? Looks like the NFL isn’t taking into account the feelings of these people groups. What bigoted racists they are in the NFL! (All Sarcasm of course). What a joke!

    1. Next they will capitulate to PETA and include the cur dog and feral cat national anthem. How about we insist they include the “Nude Farmer” national anthem also.

    2. I don’t veiw your comment as a joke but truth and then fl is racist and bigots. I stopped watching any games when that kneeling started and truely I now question why I ever watched those idiots. They aren a bunch of big babies who are playing a kids game. Many oif not most are criminals and always have been. I don’t view any of them as humans cause they never grew up. wprtjless wastes of breath and the organization, nil, is nothing but a joke run by total idiots and I hope to see them all woith out thier cushie jobs… love to watch them fail when they actually have to work for a living, yes all of them

  2. Who said the nfl is our favorite pasttime? For several years it hasn’t been. They also took down nba, mlb, nascar and the ever unpopular women’s soccer.

    1. The past 2 yrs at least have been real bad for them. This yr I see it as probably their last yr. As more Americans have opened their eyes even more with this
      Baffoon in the admin.
      God Bless America and All Americans!!!!

      1. Guess they did not understand the message we’ve been sending them. Apparently, they “Woke” up stupid.

        1. As long as they can get advertisers to pay the price for commercials during the games the league will survive.

  3. Go ahead Nfl,give in to BLM,the Nazis of America. Nothing but a money grab by the icon of BLM. They are doing nothing for black family’s or black people period. All they care about is looting and picking on people who have no defense. Stand by for their comeuppance. Hope THE BLM chokes.

  4. Just turn the channel to Amos and Andy Reruns or any other rerun of NFL past games if you need football

  5. The United States of America has ONE National Anthem. A “black National Anthem” is nothing other than an attempt to placate illiterate, gullible Blacks….we’ll see if they are that stupid, and whether or not this costs the NFL the loss of more and more viewers.

    1. More and more people are getting sick of all this “poor downtrodden blacks” bullcrap and I suspect the NFL will lose even more viewers this year. Too which I say, screw them and the horse they rode in on.

  6. They can Play the Communist National anthem as far as I am concerned I am not watching over paid infantiles and black men who have had all the perks because they are big or fast and make what I make in a life time in one season and then disrespect what 100,000′ s of thousands have died for while they get paid to play games.
    “POUND SAULT A HOLES”

  7. I think by playing more than the national anthem is racist. People from all countries in the world live here and took on the U.S as their country. One country, one national anthem. The NFL is going to see how this affects their bottom line. They are turning their backs on millions of fans by this action.

  8. Haven’t watched pro ball since Brees thought locking elbows was same as hand over heart. These phonies can go where the sun doesn’t shine!

  9. Ironically, the US national anthem is the ONLY anthem that unites all of us, but as we know, the woke Left’s mission is to DIVIDE us. I would not be surprised if this is the beginning of the end of the NFL. If the new XFL can stay away from the politics, I’m confident they will surpass the NFL, maybe even enough to play in the Fall in direct competition with them.

  10. This is ridiculous I will not be watching NFL games this year. College football is what I will be watching

  11. the more you put us in categories the more you create prejudices . Iexample : we are all human beings.The only people who put us in various categories is our beloved government

  12. Just take a knee, just like they do to the REAL American national anthem. Then, stand up, walk out, and get your refund.

    1. When the black song is played, turnaround and moon the NFL. Boo so loud you can’t hear what is playing.

  13. Lets see what is done when white players kneel when the black song is played. After all there is only one National Anthem.

  14. Sports has become the ‘opiate of the people’ anyway. To HELL with these quisling hosers! Turn off your TV.

  15. I will neither watch, in person or on TV NFL games as long as these alternate songs( so called anthems) are sung, and hopefully millions of Americans, who are not identified by skin color, will join us!

  16. Most popular??? I think NOT!!! I stopped watching football when they started kneeling during National Anthem!!! Now the black national anthem, I think the nfl just lost MANY MORE FANS!!! Time for the OVER PAID RACIST CRY BABIES to start taking HUGE pay cuts, because they WON’T HAVE ENOUGH FANS to pay to watch these assh@#es!!! The Olympics are now the same, if your supposed to represent the USA, HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT OUR FLAG IN THE WORLD’S “GAMES” will NOT WATCH THEM EITHER!!!
    TIME FOR MORE AMERICANS TO BOYCOTT WATCHING SPORTS AND PAYING FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS ENDORSEMENTS, LIKE NIKE, BUDWEISER, AND MANY OTHERS!!! BOYCOTT ALL OF THEM!!!

  17. You know the NHL IS STILL IN IT FOR THE GAME!!! ALL THESE GUY’S RESPECT AMERICA AND THE ANTHEM, EVEN CANADIAN TEAMS STAND FOR AMERICA’S ANTHEM, AND WE STAND FOR THEIRS!!! Plus these guy’s are paid MUCH LESS than nfl, nba, mlb, soccer, tennis. Time for these IDIOTS to pay the price for ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT!!!

  18. I plan on watching the first game, and if this is so, will be divesting myself of any team materials, i.e. hats stickers, etc. I have been a die-hard Steelers fan when they couldn’t be beat and when they couldn’t beat the LeHigh Valley Jr, Varsity Cheerleaders. Football is entertainment, and putting politics into the mix is a game-changer for me. If they broadcast this and put social justice messages in the end zone, I’ll be waving bye-bye to football.

  19. Nice choice (again) by the NFL Wussies. Hope they enjoy their black audience. I believe many, if not most whites will boycott. I haven’t watched a game since Kapernick first “took a knee”, and probably never will again.
