A source recently told Front Office Sports that the NFL is “bringing back a lot of [social justice] elements from last year,” including helmet decals with left-wing messages, sideline signage, and the playing of the song “Lift Ev’ry Voice and sing” — the purported “black national anthem” — major events.

Is that when the white players take a knee, and why is this even necessary?

Considering all of the batshit theatrics most teams attempt to throw out there pre-game, I can’t imagine having a problem with this.

ETA: then again, if I was a white racist, I’d be triggered. Thankfully I’m not.

It really is a beautiful song.

What's the point of objecting to this song when the vast majority of NFL players are black men? Let's be thankful that they didn't select Gangsta Rap as their anthem.

It's not the song that's the problem. It's one group of people demanding that everyone else pander to their specific group while simultaneously bitching about everyone else getting preferential treatment that's the issue.
