The NFL plans to make “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — often referred to as the Black national anthem — a permanent fixture before all major league events this coming season, according to reports.
Great!
So why are some people, and right-wing media outlets, mad about it?

Front Office Sports, which broke the story, also reported Wednesday that the NFL will have social-justice messaging on fields and on helmets. This is also a good thing. It’s too bad the NBA didn’t continue putting social-justice messages on jerseys, like they did in the bubble at the end of last season.
