I'm wanting to see if the broadcast shows the song being played.

I've not seen them show the National Anthem being sung before a NFL game. And this song is going to be before the Anthem.

Will they show the song being sung, and then go to commercial during the Anthem?

I would have picked something more fitting for the blacks, like something from 2 Live Crew.
I remember learning that one in grade school... it’s not a bad song.

So this will be played before the national anthem for week #1, nice touch NFL. I never heard of a black national anthem but whatever, not surprising during the times we live in. So when the National anthem comes on will all the teams be kneeling in protest? A bit of a kick to the balls if that happens as I see it.

Only to the balls of Trump supporters.. the rest of us will be getting snacks or taking a whizz before kickoff.

Thing is I am not supporting Trump this time around. So I accept the singing of black national anthem as a nice move but if all the players than kneel for the nationl anthem, I don't know about all that. I see that as the NFL trying to make nice and recognize the injustices but then to turn around and piss all over the that, and I consider myself sensitive to the situation. A lot of people are really going be turned off.

If they want to let them... the whole national anthem Before a game thing started during world war 1 as a Support the troops thing. It’s not as though it does right along with the 1812 overture and the Declaration of Independence. It’s fairly new.

Also those same troops would point out that they fought for the right to protest. We went from a nation skeptical of tradition to one where going against any traditions automatically makes you the devil incarnate... it makes no sense.

The players wear the uniform of a team. The team is a member of a league.

If said team, or said league do not allow protesting, then the protesters are in the wrong.

If the team and the league don't have a problem with it, then it is up to the fanbase to vote with their wallets.

Too easy.

The problem is that all the culture war stuff the right is pulling is a loser long term. Every cycle we go through more and more of the voters that this resonates with die off. It’s not remotely sustainable. If I’m not mistaken this particular issue was a loser as well for them. As was healthcare in 2018... the GOP largely lost because of that issue alone.

Never said it was a bad song. My point is to choose a song more appropriate for today’s black.

Here are the lyrics by blacks for blacks:

I got my black shirt on.
I got my black gloves on.
I got my ski mask on.
This shit's been too long.
I got my twelve gauge sawed off.
I got my headlights turned off.
I'm 'bout to bust some shots off.
I'm 'bout to dust some cops off.
I'm a cop killer, better you than me.
Cop killer, fuck police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your family's grieving,
(fuck 'em!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even, ha ha.
I got my brain on hype.
Tonight will be your night.
I got this long-assed knife.
And your neck looks just right.
My adrenaline's pumpin'.
I got my stereo bumpin'.
I'm 'bout to kill me somethin'.
A pig stopped me for nuthin'!
Cop killer, better you than me.
Cop killer, fuck police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your momma's grieving,
(fuck her!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even, yeah!
Die, die, die pig, die!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Yeah!
Cop killer, better you than me.
I'm a cop killer, fuck police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your family's grieving,
(fuck 'em!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even, ha ha ha ha, yeah!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Fuck the police!
Break it down.
Fuck the police, yeah!
Fuck the police, for darryl gates.
Fuck the police, for rodney king.
Fuck the police, for my dead homies.
Fuck the police, for your freedom.
Fuck the police, don't be a pussy.
Fuck the police, have some muthafuckin' courage.
Fuck the police, sing along.
Cop killer!
Cop killer!
Cop killer!
Cop killer!
Cop killer! what do you want to be when you grow up?
Cop killer! good choice.
Cop killer! I'm a muthafuckin'
Cop killer!
Cop killer, better you than me.
Cop killer, fuck police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your momma's grieving,
(fuck her!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even!
You’re an idiot.

So it's cool to listen to it, but "off limits" to say it yourself?

Hypocrite. Table for one.
What a troll. Not even you are this stupid.
