NFL Kicks Off Season With Racially Divisive Anthem

The NFL’s 18-week, 272-game regular-season schedule for 2024, kicks off on Thursday night, September 5.

The game is the Chiefs versus the Ravens.

And how did they kick it off?

By having “Lift Every Voice and Sing” sung before the game.

The song is also known as the Black national anthem.

And this has sparked fierce reactions since the NFL adopted it in 2020.

While some fans cheer the divisive song, others are walking away from the game.

It’s clear that those running the NFL are doing their part to keep America divided.

Fox News reports:

Grammy Award-winning artist Tasha Cobbs Leonard was tapped to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night before the Kansas City Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens.

Cobbs Leonard won the Grammy Award for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance in 2014 and has been the recipient of three Billboard Music Awards over the course of her career.

The announcement that the song was being performed before the start of the game drew the same kind of scrutiny as it has in the past. NFL teams started to have the song, also known as the Black national anthem, in 2020 after a summer of racial unrest in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd.

The song has been performed before the Super Bowl each year since. The response online has been fierce in both directions. Fans have routinely spoken out about the song being played, while some have criticized fans for not standing during the moment.

Why has the NFL replaced our National Anthem with the so-called “BLACK” national anthem?!

We have ONE national anthem, and it’s the Star Spangled Banner.

Does the NFL want to be Bud Lighted or something?

The Hodgetwins made great commentary on the subject 4 years ago.

Amazing that the NFL is still pushing it, despite people not wanting it.

Sort of like what Disney does with their woke movies and shows.

It seems like the propaganda messages have to be pushed, no matter what.
