It was a taIe of two national anthems at Thursday’s NFL kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions as fans loudly made their opinions heard about which they prefer.
Video from the pregame ceremony shows Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes crossing the field as a hail of boos rain down at Arrowhead Stadium in protest to the Black national anthem, titIed “Lift Every Voice and Sing” which has been played at NFL games in the years following the de ath of George Floyd and rise of the Black Lives matter movement.
WATCH:
The injection of BLM politics into football is largely credited to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick who in 2016 began kneeIing during the National Anthem, causing outrage among patriotic fans.
In stark contrast, Christian singer Natalie Grant went next, singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” to raucous applause from the crowd.
Martha Stewart Claps Back at Ageist Haters with Perfect Response!
Martha Stewart, the famous businesswoman known for her cooking and home decor skills, is in the spotlight again.
This time, it’s not about a new recipe or DIY project.
At 82 years old, Stewart is challenging ageist stereotypes and expressing her unique style, especially with her fashion choices.
Recently, at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala in New York City, Stewart was asked about how she dresses at her age. When questioned about “dressing for one’s age,” she effortlessly dismissed the idea, replying (via Huffington Post), “Dressing for whose age?”
Stewart’s rejection of age-related fashion rules is empowering for all women. She boldly says she doesn’t consider age when choosing her outfits: “I don’t think about age. I think people are more and more fabulous than they’ve ever been in their senior years, and I applaud every one of them,” according to Page Six.
Her confidence shines through as she proudly states, “I’ve dressed the same since I was 17.”
Beyond her red carpet appearances, Stewart has been turning heads on social media with her daring fashion choices. From poolside photos to becoming the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model, Stewart fearlessly embraces her sensuality and self-expression.
In a candid interview, Stewart expressed her delight at being recognized as a sex symbol at her age, viewing it as an opportunity to inspire others. “I’m a teacher,” she declared, as per Huffington Post. “I’m trying to teach others that you can look great. There’s no reason to slump around.”
When asked about her future plans for posting “thirst traps” on social media, Stewart maintained her trademark wit and spontaneity. Whether joking about capturing a snapshot with a polar bear in Greenland or simply leaving it to fate, Stewart’s playful attitude towards life is both endearing and inspiring.
Stewart’s refusal to conform to ageist stereotypes should inspire us all to realize that self-expression knows no age limits!
