Fuck the NFL and NBA.  If I am anywhere near the sound of this so-called "anthem", I will do as one of my younger brothers said he will (retired LEO) and turn my back on it.

They'll pay for this shit, politicising their brands more and more is a bad move.

The NFL realizes that while a large majority of their players might be black, the overwelming majority of their fans are white, and don't want to hear this fucking shit. 
Seems like a good idea to alienate your fan base.

About the Black National Anthem

Lift Every Voice and Sing – often called “The Black National Anthem” – was written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) and then set to music by his brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) in 1899. It was first performed in public in the Johnsons’ hometown of Jacksonville, Florida as part of a celebration of Lincoln’s Birthday on February 12, 1900 by a choir of 500 schoolchildren at the segregated Stanton School, where James Weldon Johnson was principal.



Nice song, but enough is enough.  At various events around the country, there are a myriad of people from all nationalities, races, religions, etc.   the American National Anthem is what is played in the USA, and we don not need to hear any other anthem. Not Italian, not Jewish, not African, not Asian, not Latino.  When we go to an event, we should all enjoy, being equal, being there in support of your team, regardless of who you are.

The seasons will be canceled anyway. These players are getting attention on twitter, meanwhile they'll be making no $$. People's egos are out of control.

Agreed.

The National Anthem has zero to do with sports.

They just need to play the game. No one cares about anything else.

I wonder if the NFL knows that the the "Black National Anthem" was written by a Black Republican?

It was written by James Weldon Johnson, composed by his brother, John Rosamond Johnson, and popularized by Raymond J. Johnson Jr.  ;D

What in god's name did I just watch?  Carl Lewis basically came out of the closet with that "music video".  Is he openly gay yet?
