That of course will never happen. The NFL has a very lucrative TV deal that covers the remainder of the decade and beyond.

Hey, I love that song. Don't be making fun of that song and mix it with this sentimental b.s. by the NFL and the idiots running it.

If their ratings crater, then we'll just have to see how many companies who pay for commercial time continue to pay for commercial time. There will be fallout from it all, I would have to suspect.

This thread is so 2020...LOL

It is no longer just the 1st Game as of the 2021-2022 season they are going to play the "Black National Anthem" before EVERY game.

The NFL will play the song widely recognised as the Black national anthem before every 2021-2022 season game as part of a $250million social justice investment.

Yes, I bumped the thread as the NFL season is begining now. I also saw no new threads on this "anthem" so I bumped this one.

I'm already not watching the NFL. It's going to be hard to not watch them any more than I'm already not watching them. They can take their social justice crud and stick it where the sun fails to shine.

They do. It's called the National Anthem.

Please clarify. Standing proudly for what and when? The whole game or just the National Anthem?
