An appearance by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Victory Boyd to perform the national anthem at the NFL’s Sept. 9 season-opening game in Tampa, Florida, was canceled by the league because she declined for religious reasons to be vaccinated against the CCP virus.

“As I understand that Victory will not be fully vaccinated by the time of the Kickoff game, she would not have been able to comply with the terms of the Game Day Field Access Policy,” Seth Dudowsky, the league’s senior director for media and entertainment events, told Boyd’s father and manager, John Boyd, in an Aug. 31 email made available to The Epoch Times.
