I’ve never heard the song “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” at least as far as I know. If I did hear it, it was just on and not billed as the “black national anthem,” that much I do know. I know this because I would have disrespected it by not standing, and I would remember disrespecting it. Not because I’m racist, but explicitly because I’m not racist and abhor racism. Which is why I didn’t voluntarily watch any National Football League games last year, and why I won’t be watching them this year either.
Yes, the NFL is a private business and they’re free to commit economic suicide any time and any way they so choose, I couldn’t care less from that standpoint. But the idea that any organization that wants my support, and more to the point my money and time, would embrace the idea that there is such a thing as a “black national anthem” and expect me to be cool with it, shows I’ve probably waited too long to walk away.

The NFL will introduce more social justice messaging on fields and player helmets during the upcoming 2021 season
“To reinforce its 10-year, $250 million commitment to combat systemic racism, the league will promote social justice via on-field signage, decals on player helmets, and in-stadium PSAs,” the FOS report explains.
“The NFL also plans to make ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ often referred to as the Black national anthem a prominent part of all big-league events, said sources. They will likely highlight victims of racial injustice with a ‘Say Their Stories’ project, as well.”
WATCH:
We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter. #InspireChangepic.twitter.com/ENWQP8A0sv
