March To Soccer MLS Black Flag Commercial

By now everyone who loves hardcore punk knows that NBC Sports Network is using a Black Flag song in their March To Soccer commercial.

But did you by any chance catch the BLACK FLAG bars at the 21 second mark?

I caught it like a subliminal message from A Clockwork Orange, while originally seeing it on TV. I then had to go to youtube to pause it to make sure.



Not sure how much Black Flag is getting paid for this... Not sure how I feel about the song "Rise Above" attaining the definition of "sell out"... not sure how I feel about having one of the songs that saved my life used like a PitBull song to sell a product... The only thing I feel good about this is that the Bars made it to the subliminal images that flash during the commercial... But then again, how many of us are now going to get questioned as to why we have a MLS image tattooed on us... the bars are a symbol of everything we hold dear... not soccer... conflicted...


"Rise Above"
BLACK FLAG


Jealous cowards try to control
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
They distort what we say
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Try and stop what we do
Rise above
When they can't do it themselves

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

Society's arms of control
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Think they're smart
Can't think for themselves
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Laugh at us
Behind our backs
I find satisfaction
In what they lack

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

We are born with a chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above
