Unifying Behind the Anthem

| Can we drop the Black National Anthem yet? | |
| Good God Almighty. | |
| I don't care what names you call. | |
| Listen, man. | |
| When I'm watching the Super Bowl... | |
| I don't want to do anything but chill. | |
| I don't want people talking to me. | |
| I like to listen to the lead-up to the game. | |
| I like to watch the game. | |
| I like to smack on my wings without anybody giving me any types of problems. | |
| I like to eat a bunch of junk food, and I just want to be happy-go-lucky. | |
| You know what I'm saying? | |
| I don't want to feel like I'm oppressed or think that I'm oppressed. | |
| Oh, I'm getting ready to have a good time. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| I do need to check myself. | |
| I'm a black man. | |
| Am I still oppressed inside of the United States of America? | |
| And no, the answer is no. | |
| And I love the Black National Anthem, but it's time to kiss it goodbye when it comes to the NFL, for God's sakes. | |
| It's just not the time or place. | |
| With sports events, you want to unify people. | |
| And I'm sorry, I just don't think the Black National Anthem does, nor do I believe that it's fair to other people that have endured persecution within the United States. | |
| I mean, for God's sakes, is there a Jewish, or the Jewish National Anthem? | |
| We've seen a rise in anti-Semitism. | |
| We saw all of the persecution that took place on college campuses across this nation. | |
| And honestly, even after Donald Trump's election initially, and he's putting a smackdown on that, but I just think it's just... | |
| Absolutely insane to keep this nonsense going. | |
| I mean, should we have a national anthem for Native Americans? | |
| I just don't get it. | |
| I believe that they're exclusionary. | |
| I don't believe that they're inclusionary when you're trying to implement the black national anthem. | |
| I just think it's a bad idea. | |
| I think it's time to move on. | |
| Listen, Trump is cool now. | |
| Colin Kaepernick is no longer cool when it comes to the NFL. So can we move on? | |
| Can't we all just get along as the great philosopher? | |
| Rodney King once said. | |
| And I think one of the ways to get along is to unify behind one anthem, and that is our national anthem. | |
| That's unifying for everyone. | |
