The ‘Black National Anthem,’ officially known as “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” has been performed at NFL games in recent years as part of the league’s efforts to acknowledge and address issues of racial inequality and social justice. However, the inclusion of the anthem has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans and commentators questioning its place in the pre-game ceremonies.

During the game, as “Lift Every Voice and Sing” began to play, a portion of the crowd responded with boos, expressing their disapproval of its inclusion. In stark contrast, when the traditional National Anthem was performed shortly afterward, the same crowd erupted into cheers, making their preference clear.
