NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas is not a fan of the NFL’s decision to play the Black national anthem before the 2021 season and radio host Jason Whitlock told “Fox & Friends Weekend” that he agrees there’s a conversation to be had.
Whitlock spoke with Thomas in an interview where the former basketball star suggested that playing both national anthems is only dividing the country instead of unifying it.
“He was pointing out the obvious that I think we all agree on,” Whitlock said. “You can’t have two national anthems if you want to be one country.”
“Anybody that’s a rational person realizes two national anthems is unhealthy,” he said. “It’s not unifying.”
“The NFL has bent over backward for Black Lives Matter and the Marxist agenda and has adopted practices that totally contradict everything you’re taught in team sports and everything that the NFL was about.”

It has been a controversial decision ever since.
