The NFL season kickoff featured political undertones during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions game, showcasing the league’s commitment to leftism. The controversial moment involved playing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the “Black National Anthem,” during the pregame ceremony. This tradition began in 2020 to address racial issues following George Floyd’s death. Despite the crowd’s anger evident in boos, fans stayed for the game. The incident sparked debates, with critics arguing for a unified national anthem, dismissing division based on race. Conversely, Christian singer Natalie Grant’s rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner received positive reactions from the audience. The NFL’s decision to incorporate “Lift Every Voice and Sing” aligns with Commissioner Roger Goodell’s 2020 statement condemning racism and supporting peaceful protests for change.
