Nfl is trash. The product is the worst it has ever been so they are trying to shore up millennial viewers with these terrible theatrics.

To be honest it's not about unifying the country at this point. It kinda is what it is. But if it could somehow unify black people just a little, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Americans won't hate or love black people any more or less based off a song played before a football game.


another really stupid take.

[img]I'm on record as saying playing any national anthem before games, other than international tournaments, is kinda silly at this point. [/img]

Yeah……..you didn’t answer the question. I don’t care if we play it or not. Why have a SEPERATE anthem for another RACE? That’s decisive/racist as hell.

Why are your feelings about the “Black national anthem” more valid than other folks’ feelings about the National Anthem?


National anthem. Not color/origin of birth/where you identify from anthem. Wtf is wrong with you. We are a melting pot nation. Why do we need different anthems for different people here? ONE nation

Are you telling me you think young black kids who are murdering each other at an astronomical rate are going to watch an NFL game, listen to the "black national anthem", ponder on it a bit, and be like, damn man, I think we should start to get along!

Do you honestly believe this will happen?

Is that when the white players take a knee, and why is this even necessary?
It's when even more fans should leave in droves and go the left wing route of letting the NFL's sponsors and advertisers know they are done.

Nobody does, even if they say they do. They may hope but they don't truly believe. Why? The black community has shown no willingness to change their cultural attitudes towards having and raising children to be good people rather than a way to get more free money once a month and a nuisance every other day

Listening to 'Brother From Another' on Peacock, and the Michaels, Smith and Holly, aren't happy with this solution either. They said the song should make people feel good, not be played out of guilt or necessity. Basically- white people don't 'get it', so it's not really progress

I don't know why I bother listening to them 9 times out of 10.

is bringing out a flag literally the size of a fricking football field, a black, whited and Latino soldier brought out for display, fans waving “God Bless America” signs left in their seats to wave, all while some clown dressed up in an American flag shirt singing a pitchy seven minute version of a 90 second song as the Blue Angels fly overhead not considered “pandering?”
