Megyn Kelly and Sage Steele unite against US Open for replacing ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ with Black National Anthem.
Sports and Music: Dividing Instead of Uniting
Sports has always been a unifying force in the United States, but now the woke agenda is infiltrating even this realm. The most recent example is the absence of the national anthem at the men’s U.S. Open final in New York. Instead, a combination of “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” (often referred to as the “black national anthem“) was performed by American operatic baritone Will Liverman.
This blatant disregard for tradition and patriotism is a constant reminder of the left’s hostility towards anything that represents unity. It’s no wonder that Megyn Kelly and Sage Steele expressed their disgust with the U.S. Open’s decision to exclude “The Star-Spangled Banner.” I stand with them.
This is just one example of many attempts to divide our nation along ideological lines. As Kelly stated, “Can we just have a non-woke, non-agenda pushing men’s tennis championship?”
No national anthem at the #USOpen – just a mixture of America the Beautiful & Lift Every Voice & Sing. This, as everywhere we are barraged with “50 years of equal pay!” reminders and Moderna signs. Can we just have a non-woke, non-agenda pushing men’s tennis championship?

Sage Steele, who recently parted ways with ESPN, shared a similar perspective, stating, “Ahhh… the irony of refusing to allow our national anthem… at the *US* Open. I remain hopeful that we can get back to truly appreciating the greatness of America, but man… this is sad.”

It is truly disheartening to see how far we have strayed from the progress in cultural relations that Martin Luther King Jr. fought for. Now, even sports is being used as a platform to highlight the “national divide” rather than our shared values of unity and justice for all.
Let’s not forget that the national anthem represents all Americans, regardless of race. It’s a shame that this even needs to be said.
function ffp_getCookie(cname) { Choosing to exclude any musical performance would have been a better decision, although still not ideal. Unfortunately, sports and music have become tools for the left to further divide us. Our beloved pastimes, which have always brought people together, are now being used to tear us apart and broadcast it to the world. As we struggle internally, we are seen as vulnerable targets by our adversaries. This is not a good look and invites challenges to our global standing. The national anthem serves as a reminder to all citizens that we are a great nation to be proud of. The lackluster rendition before the U.S. Open men’s final reflects the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in. It’s a state we must leave behind in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
