Black National Anthem Super Bowl Performance Sparks Backlash on Social Media
Andra Day’s Super Bowl performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” better known as the “Black National Anthem,” has sparked massive backlash on social media.
Day performed the song before Reba McIntyre sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII.
This woke divisive nonsense has to end.
THERE IS ONLY ONE NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz was so perturbed by the song’s inclusion that he skipped watching the event entirely.
Wife: Today is the Super Bowl!
Me: We aren’t watching.
Wife: Why?
Me: They’re desecrating America’s National Anthem by playing something called the “Black National Anthem.”
Wife: Does that mean Cardi is performing?
