Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) I am flabbergasted by the fact that the NFL will play, and apparently broadcast, the *same* Lift Every Voice narrative/performance video before EACH GAME, ALL SEASON. Can you imagine how stale and meaningless this is going to be after 5, 10, 15, 20 weeks? This is truly unbelievable. And the players are going to be videoed each week as they feel the pressure to watch and react to the video as it's played in stadium. It's going to become a joke, especially as it is followed by a new, original national anthem rendition every single time. They couldn't do an original Lift Every Voice every week also because why? This is to say nothing about the fact that it is performed by the incomparably annoying Alicia Keys, but that's a conversation for another day and has nothing to do with it. https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9448159/roc-nation-nfl-partnership-interview "The 'Lift Every Voice' video with Keys and Mackie will be played before every NFL game this season..."

There isn't a word invented that accurately conveys how little I care about your opinion on that. You can chose to pretend that it doesn't happen based on the government's reticence to admit it publically or the media's reasons for not seriously investigating it if you so desire.

KD in CA Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 WTF is Lift Every Voice? Unless it's the Super Bowl and I have people over and need some background noise, the perfect time to turn on any football game is the moment the ball leaves the kicker's foot on the opening play.

You continue to prove your worth as a total liar who's rooting for dead bodies in the streets. There's very little difference between mail in voting and absentee ballots THIS year because absentee ballot requests are through the roof, at an unprecedented scale. Still, ADs links also reference this particular case, where votes were only through the mail. Of course you know about this case, but are still being an obstinate ass.
