Because the US government paid them to do so.Why are sports the one piece of entertainment where we have to even play national anthems, salute the troops, etc etc. I get it for the Olympics because that’s an international get together kind of thing, but TV, movies, video games, etc don’t have this default preamble before the performance that triggers half the people watching.
Just stick to the drama, punditry, hype up, etc of the performance before the game and take away all the other stuff that doesn’t actually accentuate the experience itself. At this point it would be the better business move for the NFL
Also there is no black national anthem. Black is not a nation for fucks sake. The National Anthem is the "Black" national anthem.
