Clay Travis Calls Out Redundancy of NFL's Black National Anthem: 'Do Away With It'

OutKick's Clay Travis kicked off our LIVE NFL Draft Watch Party with a take some would consider "hot."

Clay declared that the NFL should do away with the Black National Anthem (Lift Every Voice and Sing), which CT called out for being redundant.

It's unnecessary to include the Black National Anthem in NFL pre-game festivities when we already have an anthem dedicated to all Americans.

Travis, alongside Jonathan Hutton and Chad Withrow, expressed his opinion that the league should rescind the additional anthem, which Clay called "a vestige of the NFL's ridiculous 2020 COVID era."

Withrow got the conversation started with a joke: "Clay, I'm pissed that you didn't stand up for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing.’"

"That's the one thing I would say that they need to do away with. It's a vestige of the NFL's ridiculous 2020 Covid Era," Travis said. 

"I wish they would do away with it. Now, it does seem like they keep pushing it further from the start. I think it was like 25 minutes out, but I think that's a vestige. That's ridiculous."
