�Lift Ev�ry Voice and Sing� will be performed live or played before �The Star-Spangled Banner� prior to each NFL game during Week 1 and the league is considering putting names of victims of police brutality on helmet decals or jersey patches, a person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press.

The person said the league is working collaboratively with players to recognize victims of systemic racism throughout the season in a variety of ways. The person spoke to the AP on Thursday on condition of anonymity because discussions between the league and the NFL Players Association are ongoing.

Additional plans include the use of educational programs and storytelling about the victims and their families similar to the league�s PSA on Botham Jean released in January and the Super Bowl commercial on Corey Jones featuring his cousin, former NFL star Anquan Boldin.

Dang!!!

The NFL sure doesn't get it, do they? The NFL charts a course in exactly the WRONG DIRECTION!!!

We the People, DO NOT WANT partisan politics mixed into our sporting events. PERIOD! We don't have to turn the TV on guys!

And no venue has lifted the Black American more than the world of sports. So how ironic for the Black athletes who have benefited so much from the revenue that comes along with America's sporting entertainment, to use their privilege in this venue for their protests. TM

They wouldn't let the Cowboys put a police decal on their helmets when several police were killed, but now they're going to put the names of thugs on their helmets? Black anthem BEFORE National Anthem [why, at all?]?, and kneel for the National Anthem? These clowns sure know how to lose fans.

And in that vein, in both keeping with the League, and the hometown of the team [Where the Congressional idiots work], I propose renaming the Redskins to the Washington Foreskins.

Former NFL player and GOP candidate for Congress in Utah Burgess Owens, blasted the National Football League for its decision to air the �black national anthem� before season opening games this season.

Owens was incensed over the NFL�s pandering to the Black Lives Matter movement saying, �there is no �black national anthem.'� He also felt as if the NFL was trying to return to the days of segregation.

�There is no �black national anthem.� Why does it feel like the country is trying to segregate again sometimes?� Owens tweeted on Thursday.
