Breaking: Andra Day Fined $1 Billion By NFL For Singing Black National Anthem, “There’s Only One Anthem”

In a move that has stunned both the sports and entertainment worlds, the NFL has reportedly fined singer Andra Day $1 billion for her rendition of the Black National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII. The unprecedented fine has sparked widespread outrage and debate about freedom of expression, racial equality, and the role of the NFL in addressing social issues.

The controversy took a dramatic turn when the NFL announced the staggering fine against Day. In a statement, the league cited a breach of contract, claiming that Day’s performance had not been authorized as part of the official program. According to the NFL, the agreement with Day only included the singing of the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and not the Black National Anthem.

This never happened; the described event was not a factual recount. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being satirical in nature, as follows:

Day did indeed sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at Super Bowl LVIII, but she was not fined by the NFL for doing so.
