Report: NFL to play song known as the Black National Anthem before season openers

The song "reportedly" to be performed prior to the 1st week of games is sometimes referred to as "the black nat'l anthem."

There is no report that the performance of that song is intended to serve as a separate anthem in any way, and that makes the article headline linked by the OP as well as the original title of this thread misleading.

If we are altering a thread title for clarity/accuracy, should we not include that the song is also known as "The Black National Anthem" which is how it has been reported in the media?

I would also argue that the original title nor the OP is not misleading since it was a direct quote from a national sports media outlet (although I know that anything coming from NBC is probably misleading).


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
