NFL isn’t happening this Fall. NFL execs are leaking shite like this because they don’t think there’s going to be a season.


I disagree. We'll have NFL football one way or another.

I learned it as the "Negro National Anthem," actually. "Black" national anthem is PC bullshite.

Honestly, who cares? Get up and go get a beer or food or change the channel at that time. Jesus, people let so much shite bug them that it's humorous

I'm never one of those guys that says "I'm done with whatever sport" for any sort of scenario, but if the NFL does this stupid trash, then I'm out. 100%. I watch sports for sports not politics.

90% chance this was proposed by some guilty white person. It's just more useless pandering by corporations.

This line of thinking will allow you to be walked over for the rest of your life.

Well he’s an aggie, so....



Probably likes being a submissive little punk



And I see that there is a ‘geaux’ in his name as well. Save me the ‘I’m an LSU fan’ shite. You can’t be an aggie and a tiger at the same time. That’s like a dude saying he’s bisexual. NO, once you put a penis in your mouth, you’re all the way gay. No more being on the fence

That's just as dumb as playing the National Anthem in the first place.

Nope. I'm out. I stayed pretty neutral on the national anthem kneeling as I felt like that's someone's right as we're not forced to stand for the flag in this country. But frick its like they're now actively trying to push away folks like me. The black national anthem? Give me a break. There's no Black Nation. We are one nation. Under one flag. Under one anthem.

I feel like the NFL and the NBA are just trying to one up the other one in wokeness

Yep the whole "who cares, it doesnt effect me" mindset is why this country is going down the shitter.

I get it to a point, but you cant ignore everything in life that doesnt directly effect you because eventually what visits everyone else's doorstep will be visiting yours.

This is extraordinarily minor in the grand scheme, but I dont appreciate the message it sends. It just re-affirms tribalist attitudes and further divides black from white.

This entire "systemic racism" movement has done nothing but divide black and white people. It has no coherent message and is as vague as you can get.

They're high on symbolic gestures but low on specifics and message.

How do we fight systemic racism? If you ask BLM its : give up your job, give up your property, vote for reparations. Aka, self-immolate because of something your ancestors did and give everything to people who didn't experience any of the things they want justice for.

Yeah I think it's one of those things that's broadly known pretty much only among black people (until recently). I learned it as a kid because my mom wanted to teach me to play it on the piano. Beautiful song, actually.

But that ain't why NFL is using it, of course
