Holy shite

quote:

The NFL will play “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing,” commonly known as the black national anthem, before every season opener, Jason Reid of ESPN reports.


quote:

The NFL is considering other measures to recognize victims of police brutality during the upcoming season, per Reid. The proposals include listing the names of victims on uniforms through helmet decals or jersey patches, an idea that would come in collaboration with the NFL Players Association.


quote:

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell admitted in a video last month that the league was wrong for not listening to its players earlier and pledged allegiance in their battle for social justice.

Of course, a team signing free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick likely would be seen as more of a show of faith than anything else the league can say or do.



This guy is not good. What is so hard to understand about that???

I never knew there was a black national anthem

I hope this helps black people stop killing other black people at an alarming rate

Who is the President of Black?

What is the economy of Black like?

Can a person travel freely to and from Black? What is there to see or do there?

How is Black's record on human rights?

Seems extremely racist

No Asian national anthem? Not Native American national anthem? No American Samoan national anthem? No white national anthem?

I really wish they’d honor the names of the real victims of murder, like the 3 year old shot and killed in Chicago
I could get behind that

Why? Because if you’re serious about equality, serious about black lives, you’d be serious about the real problems of society
