Maybe next year 'they'll' do without! There is only ONE National Anthem; the "Star Spangled Banner". That's it period.
Super Bowl LVIII Black national anthem performance causes stir on social media
Andra Day performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing," known as the Black national anthem, ahead of Super Bowl LVIII and received a rousing ovation from the fans at Allegiant Stadium.
Day was tapped to sing the song last month as part of the NFL’s pregame festivities. Additionally, Reba McEntire sang the national anthem and Post Malone did "America the Beautiful."
As Super Bowl Sunday arrived and Day sang, NFL fans on social media hurled criticism for the league having the Black national anthem performed. It started early in the day and continued.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., wrote on X about a conversation he had with his wife about why they weren’t going to watch the Super Bowl.
"They’re desecrating America’s National Anthem by playing something called the ‘Black National Anthem,’" he wrote.
Rep. Mike Loychik, a Republican lawmaker in the Ohio House of Representatives, criticized the NFL.
"There’s no such thing as a black national anthem," he wrote on X. "We are all AMERICANS, united by our great and beautiful Star Spangled Banner. The Super Bowl is supposed to bring us together. "It’s a disgrace that the NFL decided to push the politics of racial division again."
Conservative pundit CJ Pearson wrote on X: "Before tonight’s Super Bowl, as a young black man and proud American, let me make myself clear: There is only ONE national anthem. As there is only ONE United States of America. And it’s for EVERYONE - white, black, yellow, and even maroon. The Left’s agenda of division isn’t just needless; it’s exhausting."................

This separatist garbage is beyond idiotic given how quickly the demographics of this country is changing, with Blacks becoming a smaller and smaller minority.

Just wait ... with all the ILLEGALS pouring in, it's just a matter of time before different groups, and in particular Hispanics, will want their anthem played.
We've gone done a slippery slope allowing this to change the history of U.S. sports.
To give 'permission' to change the AMERICAN National Anthem or to replace it with another anthem was dead wrong.

The Star Spangled Banner will always bring me to my feet and usually a tear to my eye.
There is but one national anthem in this country, imho. Anthems for different groups of people are nonsense and polarizing. We don't need that.
Reba did a great job. I had to look on youtube. I figured she did an awesome job because there was no media hype.

"Dad, why do we have a special anthem for 13% of the population?"
"Son, a criminal with a fatal dose of drugs in his system died while resisting an arrest in 2020."
