[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 329436, member: 3373"] I like Football. NFL is not my favorite but do watch it some. Prefer College Football. The NFL as made some bad decisions in my opinion but don't blame all the players. At the end of a game on Sunday there were many players from both teams kneeliing on the filed in prayer not in protest. They didn't get much press. Every time someone does something to protest it seems to me (as a white person) to promote racism. So know we're playing the Black National Anthem? Why can't we also play the German National Anthem, or the Mexican Anthem. Whenever we single out one group over another to me that just reeks of racism. I'm 71 years old. Never in my life have I heard the "Star Spangled Banner" as the "White Anthem". It can't be helped that when that anthem was selected the majority of the population was white. It was selected to represent the USA, not any single group. [/QUOTE]
