Megyn Kelly slammed the NFL for foisting “the so-called Black National Anthem” on viewers tuning in to Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday — and added an extra slap over Usher’s halftime show.
The outspoken podcaster took to X after singer Andra Day performed the black hymn, formally known as “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” as part of a game-long diatribe during the Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
It “does not belong at the Super Bowl. We already have a National Anthem and it includes EVERYONE,” the former Fox host wrote.
Kelly’s post triggered furious criticism from some commenters, who called it a blatant display of “racism.”
“We’re watching a sport with majority black players. Who decided they should have a voice? Clutch your pearls harder,” one user replied.
“It’s good you’re too stupid to hide your racism,” another said, while a third chimed in: “Sit down, Karen. I’m a Veteran and it doesn’t bother me one bit.”
Others backed Kelly, calling the Black National Anthem “a manufactured push for segregation.
“The Megyn Kelly Show” host also bashed Usher’s halftime show.
“Not into Usher or this halftime show – however I do appreciate that my kids haven’t had anyone’s vag exposed to them on screen as they innocently wait for the football to start. (Hi J-Lo, Shakira.),” Kelly shared in a subsequent X post.
Though some people agreed, calling Usher’s 13-minute performance “PG,” other onlookers once again clapped back at Kelly, bashing her for her negative commentary on the game
