The National Football League is planning to increase social justice messages and play the Black National Anthem before every game.
The NFL previously played the Black National Anthem, titled "Lift Every Voice and Sing", before week 1 games in 2020, as BLM was at the forefront of American news, Fox News reports.
A report from Front Office Sports shows that they plan to make the black anthem a "prominent part of big league events." The NFL also plan to increase its social justice messaging during the 2021 season.
In 2020, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell took time to acknowledge the BLM movement, stating in a video "We, at the National Football League, believe black lives matter. I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much-needed change in this country."
