The NFL will be playing the "Black national anthem" before the start of week 1 games
posted 5 years ago by FuqSpez 5 years ago by FuqSpez +73 / -0

"Pappa was a rolling stone" is a good song, no doubt, but it seems kind of excessive to play the whole thing before the national anthem. Thoughts?

Something that they made up and pushed to act like we all should have known it, just like juneteenth or whatever the fuck.

I'm 100% in favor of Emancipation Day being a national holiday. Anybody who feels like July 4th isn't their "independence day" day can celebrate Emancipation Day instead.

Let's have more celebrations, not less

Don't they have to have a black nation to have a black national anthem?

I'm cool with deporting them all to the congo or something if they don't want to live here, since america is so bad and all.

Liberia literally already exists. Its literally a country made by former American Blacks.

I doubt they would be welcome by the bastards who run that nation, but its the closest thing to home they would have.

Liberia, a nation that started with a copy of the US Bill of Rights. I'm sure it turned into a modern day Wakanda.

The thing they will never admit is that they benefit from the enslavement of their ancestors by living in America instead of Africa.

They've decided they'd rather have yours. If you doubt this, ask yourself this: when the destroyed statues are replaced, do you think they'll be replaced with statues of white people or heroes of the "black nation"?

They might replace one with John Wilkes Booth now that Lincoln is problematic.

How about Amon Amarth? The fat would be rather fitting, too.

I'm partial to this remix with Plastic Love.

There's something magical and depressing about a mashup of a man singing about love and hope and at the end it's a woman singing about how she considered the relationship plastic and fake.

Wait...what? "Papa was a rolling stone...wherever he left his hat was his home, and when he died, all he left us was alone."

Thats...thats the song you want to use? Inspiring.

Stop watching sportsball. The games don't matter, nor do the scores. We as a civilization have more important things to worry about than watching two corporate entities compete for a result that means nothing. Stop making these people rich.

If you want to play sports, that different. Get exercise and all that. But if you want a hobby, there are many other options available, ones that won't help marxists get richer, who will use that wealth against you.

Edit: Yes, I do realize I said corporate and marxist in the same point. China is both corporate and marxist, it's odd if you think about it, but also not.

NFL was already losing ratings from the kneeling shit, this might push it all the way over.

Some fun responses I've had from people.

"i want to hear the Asian national anthem instead."

"So does that mean all races have a national anthem?"

"Does Africa even have a black national anthem?"

NFL is looking for the cheapest option to satiate the mob so they don't lose more viewers than they already are. Once Tom Brady retires they're going to lose a massive number of people.

Provide poor communities services and support in their local communities? Promote financial literacy among their mostly black player base, who have an average tenure of 3 years, and often go broke soon after retiring?

Naw, let's just play a song before a game and call it good.

If we're going to be this fucking retarded we might as well go with BEASTS OF ENGLAND from Animal Farm, since this is exactly the kind of commie crap they did in that book.

"Beasts of England"

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings Of the Golden future time.

Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown, And the fruitful fields of England Shall be trod by beasts alone.

Rings shall vanish from our noses, And the harness from our back, Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack.

Riches more than mind can picture, Wheat and barley, oats and hay, Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels Shall be ours upon that day.

Bright will shine the fields of England, Purer shall its waters be, Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes On the day that sets us free.

For that day we all must labour, Though we die before it break; Cows and horses, geese and turkeys, All must toil for freedom's sake.

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken well, and spread my tidings Of the Golden future time.

Then they ban it after the useful idiots get their revolution, black lives don't matter anymore after the revolution
