It's time to fire Roger Goodell.

Get it done.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called the report of the NFL planning to
play the black national anthem before games during Week 1 of the
2020 season “asinine.”

Cruz wondered in a tweet whether there were national anthems for
other races.

REPORT SAYS

“How many national anthems do we have??

“Is there an Hispanic national anthem?

“An Asian-American national anthem?

“This is asinine. We are ONE America. E Pluribus Unum,” he wrote.

The NFL will play “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing,” which is also
known as the black national anthem, before every Week 1 NFL game
in the 2020 season, according to ESPN.

The decision to play the song comes following the death of
Minneapolis man George Floyd, which led to nationwide protests
over racial inequality and police brutality.

According to the ESPN report, the song will be played before
“The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The NFL has not commented on the reported decision.

The league and the NFL Players Association are also
contemplating listing the names of victims on uniforms through
decals on helmets or patches on jerseys, ESPN reported. The NFL
also may produce educational programs about victims. They also
have other plans that haven’t been identified.

The league hopes it demonstrates “a genuine commitment to the
public, players and coaches and that player voices continue to
be heard,” according to ESPN’s source.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell put out a video last month
admitting that the league was wrong for not listening to their
players when they knelt during the national anthem to protest
racial injustice and police brutality.

"We, at the National Football League, believe Black Lives
Matter," Goodell said in the video. "I personally protest with
you and want to be part of the much-needed change in this
country.

“Without black players, there would be no National Football
League and the protests around the country are emblematic of the
centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of black
players, coaches, fans, and staff. We are listening, I am
listening, and I will be reaching out to players who have raised
their voices and others on how we can improve and go forward for
a better and more united NFL family.”
