NFL Fans Are Already Upset Over The ‘Black National Anthem’ Being Played Before Bucs-Cowboys Game (TWEETS)

NFL fan bases are already upset.

Minutes before the Bucs-Cowboys game, the NFL played the Black National Anthem just as they said they would do before each game in the 2021-22 season as part of a $250 million investment towards social justice.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized in June 2020 for “not listening to NFL players earlier” when it came to the Black Lives Matter movement. He also supported the players’ decision to kneel in protest against racism and oppression before the national anthem during games.

The league will also continue many of the social justice initiatives implemented last season, including featuring messages of antiracism and unity on helmets and the field.

As stated above, fans are already upset.

So the NFL just played the Black National Anthem.. well what about the Jewish National Anthem? What about the Asian National Anthem? What about the Hispanic, or as they say, "latinx" National Anthem? Seems awfully discriminatory to me..

#NFL. there is a national anthem not a black national anthem and a white national anthem – why are you trying to alienate a huge portion of your fan base and splitting the country along race lines?

I'm sorry but we don't need a black national anthem. Just for the black community. The national anthem is for everyone. No matter the race or color you are. #NFLKickoff

White @nfl players should take a knee during the black national anthem. I mean, it’s no big deal that Kap took a knee during the real national anthem, so white players should be able to take one during this fake anthem, right?
