TBayXXXVII 2,119 Posted July 16, 2021 I'm guessing that it'll only be racist if you don't stand for the black national anthem. People will be free to kneel for THE national anthem though, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted July 16, 2021 I wonder if this will turn off a lot of viewers... It won't because there are idiots out there that still like to watch football... In today’s hyper-partisan media environment, most fans experience football through the prism of television. This year’s renewed social justice messaging efforts will be visible to the 200 million-plus TV viewers who watch game telecasts each season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too much virtue signaling for me. I agree it's stupid, but to me it's more of a rolleyes than a "fock you this is offensive" I roll my eyes at a lot of sh1t these days that people do to soothe their feelings and make them feel special. I'm more inclined to let them have their anthem and move on vs fighting about it. It's not worth the fight. also it's not all black people, there are plenty of black people that agree this is stupid. It's ideology driven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,690 Posted July 16, 2021 All that dumb crap. We don’t need a Juneteenth holiday or “black” anthem. Juneteenth is a Texas thing and no one polled me about a black anthem. This is really truly tiring. I don’t want less police, heck I want triple police! I love the flag, don’t change it. I hate it that these things are being done as if black people are really requesting it. No one wants these dumb things! We just want to be treated fairly, that is all!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't say that stopping the use of a woman who could be seen as a black slave is considered woke. Coca Cola for example, with their "anti whiteness" BS and the NFL pandering like this Black Natl Anthem and Pizza Hut endorsing teachers to teach anti-racism.

At this point, the center has moved so far left, that many staunch liberals could be reclassified as conservative.

This just leads to more divisiveness. But I don't think you can generalize about what all blacks want. Last night I was watching track and field and was happy to see the top three finishers in the 200M waving the American flag after the race. I was also really impressed by the chick from Harvard who blew everyone away. Talk about a total package. Brains, looks, athleticism, body....... But, it was only a few short weeks ago when the hammer thrower turned her back on the flag at the podium. That's why all of this should just be taken out of sporting events IMO.
