I’m America, we’re oft not decisive on much in the old culture wars. Other than being mad.

I love how you’re labeled as “mad “ for simply pointing something out.  

Nobody is mad.  Except maybe those who are being decisively divisive.  

It’s like golf to me.  People want to take mulligans and I always just say “hit it till you’re happy”

If people want their own anthem- sing until your happy. I sincerely doubt it will make them happy, but have at it.

I fault the NFL for pormoting it

If you're declaring that someone is being divisive, that implies some level of displeasure with it. Unless being divisive is good or neutral.

Someone sang a song while I was talking to someone as they prepped sandwiches. We didn't have the sound on. If someone (not you) wasn't worried about the divisiveness of it all, I wouldn't know it was a thing to begin it.


(It occurs to me, I didn't even say you were mad. I pointed out something about culture wars. You seem to have labeled yourself here)

Not agreeing is not the same as being mad. And it was you who introduced the “mad” label- as you often do.

I don’t agree with many things I see and hear- and there are a couple that are important enough to me that they do actually bother me.

Like throwing political grenades while shouting at the target to “ stop throwing grenades” ( which is the go to tactic of certain people around here)

But the question of adding National Anthems isn’t even close to a bothersome level.  In fact it fits into the humorous category.

This post is not reducing the sense of being mad (grenades and such). I'm sorry you feel that you were targeted in some way. 

Anyway. They sang a song. It apparently is often called the Black National Anthem. It's also, as far as I've read, a Christian hymnal. All these songs have whatever meaning we choose to bestow upon them. Since we choose to not sweat the small stuff, all sounds pretty mundane.

one reason I watch the game and maybe the coin toss

everything else is just noise

commercials, halftime, pre-game, post-game

All good. No need to apologize at all and in fact I don’t feel targeted in anyway. I was just speaking in generalities.

by the way- it is a beautiful sounding song. I rather enjoyed it.

I confess- I did enjoy many of the commercials.

fly overs are the same

I feel they've been done before.  Like the Gatorade bucket on the winning coach

if someone else cares that it was an all-female crew for the flyover, that's fine with me, but I certainly don't care

This was promoting a 2nd anthem for Black people on perhaps the most watched TV show all year

Thats a big deal to both pro and con groups amd not small stuff

it seems to me only yesterday when this country had water fountains labled Black and special seats at the back of buses for Blacks

Its amazing to me that anyone would promote a National Anthem for Blacks and is very devisive

It is a big deal
