Well you know, 98 % of the players are black and must be recognized.
It is actually 56%.

First written in 1900, the song is a hymn of thanksgiving referencing God freeing the Israelites from slavery in the Book of Exodus.

While not explicitly referring to a particular race, it has long been an important cultural touchstone for the black community.

We just want to be treated equally. Well, separate but equal.

Don't suppose anyone will take a knee. Also not going to watch a game that takes 6 hours to play.

I am sure you believe blacks have special needs & need their own special moment, but I am not bigoted or about segregated anthems.


I’m down with it. We should create something specifically for blacks for everything. They’ll be separate but totally equal, you know, in the name of progress and equity.

Exactly, why stop at just a national anthem? Roger needs to mandate that every stadium has designated “Black” locker rooms for both the home and visiting teams.

Are they going to sing the Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic national anthems?


Even if they did, you would still have a problem with it.

Because people love football.

The NFL isn't going anywhere so you guys might as well stop worrying about it.

Black national anthem? So they are literally playing something that is intended to divide us as a nation?

That’s wild.


Do you literally know anything about the song or the history of it? Because it has nothing to do with trying to divide anyone.

It will be booed just like every other time I’ve heard it. Let’s be real. Which demographic are buying more tickets to the game?
