I agree! What the NFL advocates could cause more division than we have now!Just cut the entire anthem stuff altogether. It's been a cultural dinosaur for years. Come out, play, collect a check, go home.

so how does your link correlate to police brutality?
you sure you aren't related to ticketfrog
Let’s see.. America the Beautiful. It’s about America. We are Americans. Black White Brown Green.You're mad....because they're playing a song as part of the pregame? Not replacing the national anthem and all that pageantry, just because they are adding another song that resonates with some?
Do you also get upset when if they play America the Beautiful?
Not enough brown, red and yellow players in the nfl to make demands. What is the black national anthem, anyway? What country are they honoring? Isn’t that the purpose of a “national anthem”? To honor your nation, your country? Is there a new nation that only folks where black skins are citizens? Seriously, what is it?If I was Hispanic, Native America, or Asian, I’d be upset. Why aren’t these minorities represented? Are they not also important?
Writes the person who posts the longest repetitive comment...too funny!

Which lyrics about Lift Evry Voice, a patriotic poem written to honor Abraham Lincoln, do you think is divisive or otherwise take issue with?Let’s see.. America the Beautiful. It’s about America. We are Americans. Black White Brown Green.
Now let’s see…”Black NATIONAL Anthem”. But, you don’t grasp the disconnect?
I agree. We need to do all we can to keep the word count and the number of posts to a minimum on this topic.
Be brief, succinct, and non-verbose. Check your loquaciousness at the door. Use fewer words to express what you are trying to say. Do not be repetitive. Keep the words and side discussions or elaborations of your reasonings to a minimum. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of brevity. No one wants to hear someone just repeat some ridiculous tale of unimportant information. We must all be concise. No one has the time to read a whole bunch of garbage in unimportant posts. No one cares about details of your reasonings. Rambling posts should be avoided. Some posters have a tendency to be garrulous and long-winded. These tendencies should be avoided. If you feel the need to have circumlocutory posts, please take it somewhere else. People get tired of the constant maundering.
To summarize, posts should be concise, succinct, and ephemeral.

BS. I bet not one person in my town has ever heard the damn song. Only ones that might, are probably lily white as my ass.Which lyrics about Lift Evry Voice, a patriotic poem written to honor Abraham Lincoln, do you think is divisive or otherwise take issue with?
Or is it just it's popularity with African Americans that you find objectionable?
Going to disagree. We have a national anthem, not multiple ones. You think it makes sense, I think it is ridiculous. I would just prefer they not play the national anthem at all if we’re going to do this silliness.You're mad....because they're playing a song as part of the pregame?

America the Beautiful is an American song that has been around for a long time and represents all Americans, not just one race. Like the Star Spangled Banner. This is all a big joke.You're mad....because they're playing a song as part of the pregame?

No. At least they never did before that poor oppressed QB started being oppressed.do they even broadcast the anthem for regular season games?
Probably not.Let’s see.. America the Beautiful. It’s about America. We are Americans. Black White Brown Green.
Now let’s see…”Black NATIONAL Anthem”. But, you don’t grasp the disconnect?
The song isn't divisive at all. The use of the song by progressives, Marxists and anti-American leftists to construct this false narrative of systemic racism is divisive. These people don't care a wit about black Americans. The song is a strawman, constructed to pander and sucker blacks and whites into an argument so these agitators can point and say, "see, see...you people hate the black national anthem, so this proves you're all racist."Which lyrics about Lift Evry Voice, a patriotic poem written to honor Abraham Lincoln, do you think is divisive or otherwise take issue with?

This is true. I think maybe that's where people are getting hung up, calling it the "Black National Anthem" rather than the songs name. Theres one national anthem, it's the Star Spangled Banner, it's the one we play when presenting the flag. Everything else is just pregame festivities to celebrate the sport and / or the country, including Lift Evry Voice.Going to disagree. We have a national anthem, not multiple ones.
Lift Evry Voice and America the Beautiful are separated by about 10 years, both right around the turn of the 20th century. Not seeing a huge difference there.America the Beautiful is an American song that has been around for a long time and represents all Americans, not just one race. Like the Star Spangled Banner. This is all a big joke.
