The I Stand Super Bowl Challenge

The Super Bowl is the largest spectacle of the year. 100+ million people around the world will be watching. NBC said it will televise any players that disrespect the anthem. Will players use the platform to celebrate their commitment to American values of equality, liberty and justice for all by standing for the anthem? Will they honor both military veterans and civil rights pioneers by placing their hand over their heart? Or, will they continue to divide our nation and alienate their fans by refusing to stand? I'd like to know. So let's ask. Super Bowl participants will be decided in the conference championship games January 21st. Once we know who's playing, I'd like fans to tweet every player on both teams with a message like this. "When you stand for the anthem you honor military vets AND civil rights pioneers while calling all Americans to the values of equality and justice.  Will you stand for the anthem Super Bowl Sunday?

IF THE NFL WANTS RACIAL HARMONY, IT SHOULD SING ONE ANTHEM

Image
The National Football League’s decision to play a “Black National Anthem” before its first regular season game is a mistake that will worsen the racial tensions it seeks to relieve. Playing two anthems reinforces the idea that people with darker skin are different from “the rest of us.” So different, in fact, that “they” need “their own” anthem. Will the NFL introduce separate drinking fountains next? The league’s plan resurrects Jim Crow, a racial caste system that civil rights leaders fought and died to end and which the Supreme Court finally corrected with the reminder that “annoyances, some petty and some substantial, almost inevitably accompany segregation.” Worse yet, an unintended consequence of a “Black National Anthem” is that it hands a convenient argument to racists. If race justifies accommodation, then it can be used to justify discrimination as well.
