I dont think its dyingRep. Lauren Boebert railed against "wokeness" after a song known as the Black national anthem was performed live and on-field at the Super Bowl on Sunday for the very first time.
The far-right Colorado lawmaker said in a tweet that the NFL was trying to "divide" the country, in an apparent reference to actress Sheryl Lee Ralph's performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
"America only has ONE NATIONAL ANTHEM," she wrote. "Why is the NFL trying to divide us by playing multiple!? Do football, not wokeness."
"Lift Every Voice and Sing" was written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900, and later used as a rallying cry for Black Americans during the Civil Rights era.
Its lyrics call for strength, unity, and faith in God following the abolition of slavery.
Though the song has been incorporated into Super Bowl celebrations since 2021, Ralph's performance on Sunday was the first live on-field performance of the song at the event.
It came ahead of Chris Stapleton's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Explaining the song's history and meaning, singer Sheryl Ralph also made a reference to commenters who echoed Boebert's sentiments, saying: "I thank everybody for understanding it. Some never will, but some always will get it. God bless us all in unity."

There is no "unity" in a race based national anthem.
There is racism and division in a race based national anthem.
These Woksters who want a separate national anthem are actually wallowing in racism, but the Progressives will never be able understand this.
The Woke movement is dying off because people have realized that it's really just more irrational, and unreasonable Left Wing hate mongering.
The racial division in America is getting stronger
