Here is what it boils down to.
I understand why some peoples politcal beliefs cause them to be offended by a "Black National Anthem". I am not saying you can't be offended.
But I think it is crazy to eliminate something you enjoy so much just because of a 5 minute song that has ZERO effect on the game.
I enjoy music by criminals. I wear neckties with Rush Limbaughs name on the back of them (but all bought second hand so he does not receive any of the funds). I enjoy books written by both extreme conservatives and communists; evangelical Christians and atheists. I enjoy food from anti-LGBTQ "Chik-fil-a" as well as the local hippie "Mellow Mushroom Pizza".
I am not going to punish myself in order to make some sort of "political statement" that NO ONE ELSE will even hear or care about. I am not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.
