    They sung it before the anthem. It might have been after Post Malone did America the Beautiful. So it’s not even like Lift Every Voice was the only additional patriotic song they did.

      It’s literally just a way for the NFL to fill air time before the game starts and get people tuned in longer for commercials.

      It’s nice for Lift Every Voice to have been sung, but if anyone thinks the NFL gives a shit more than selling ad time and tickets, they’re lost in the sauce.

      It’s not worth getting upset over one way or the other.

      So a bunch of people sang songs before the anthem and one of them happened to be a song that black people like. Sounds about right.
