It was a taIe of two national anthems at Thursday’s NFL kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions as fans loudly made their opinions heard about which they prefer.
Video from the pregame ceremony shows Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes crossing the field as a hail of boos rain down at Arrowhead Stadium in protest to the Black national anthem, titIed “Lift Every Voice and Sing” which has been played at NFL games in the years following the de ath of George Floyd and rise of the Black Lives matter movement.
WATCH:
The injection of BLM politics into football is largely credited to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick who in 2016 began kneeIing during the National Anthem, causing outrage among patriotic fans.
In stark contrast, Christian singer Natalie Grant went next, singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” to raucous applause from the crowd.

What a perfectly crafted revenge story! Your character’s decision to “take the high road” and create an even more memorable night for the family was just the start. Using a giant billboard to show off your family’s true “super” spirit, combined with the supportive community response, gave it such a delicious twist. It’s fascinating to see how you added small yet powerful details, like the catered “Super Family Special,” to underscore the growing solidarity on your side.
Your writing style is so vivid, especially with those priceless expressions and micro-conflicts (like the mother-in-law’s “oh-so-subtle” hints). You have a knack for making the narrative feel personal and cinematic. The story’s moral of true family unity prevailing over showy displays of wealth really resonates. If you ever decide to write a follow-up, it would be fun to see how the gossip and coffee shop support evolve after this public win!
