National anthem singer launches ICE protest... but it ends in tears
In a tearful post on TikTok , the singer revealed the Dodgers told her to sing the anthem in English, but she went against the wishes of the team when she performed on the field.
Singer Nezza has claimed the Dodgers tried to stop her singing the national anthem in Spanish before their game in LA on Saturday night as a show of solidarity with ICE protestors in the city.
In a tearful post on TikTok, she said she felt the tribute was poignant on the day of 'No Kings' protests across the United States over Donald Trump's immigration policies. And after days of unrest in Los Angeles itself, the singer said she was stunned that the organization told her to perform the anthem in English.
In a separate video, she shared a clip of what she says was a Dodgers official, from off-camera, telling her she was required to sing the anthem in English.
First you make up a form of oppression.
The Dodgers are oppressive because they asked her to sing the National Anthem at a Dodger game but want it sung in.... get this..... I know it's super offensive to presume such a thing... but hey wanted it sung in..... English.
Watch the Dodgers tell me I can't sing the Spanish Star-Spangled Banner that Roosevelt literally commissioned in 1945,' she captioned the post. 'So I did it anyway,' she added as an extra comment when the video eventually shows her singing on the field.
How dare the Dodgers presume any sort of agency or even preference about matters involving their game at their field and I'm there at their request.
I need to make it all about me of course.
'I didn't think I'd be met with any sort of no, especially because we are in LA' Nezza - real name Vanessa Hernandez - said on her TikTok in a post late on Saturday night. 'I just felt like I needed to do it. I'm still very shaken up and emotional.
'Especially because we're in L.A., and with everything happening. I've sang the national anthem many times in my life, but today, out of all days, I could not. I'm sorry.
'I could not believe when she walked in and told me no. But I just felt I needed to do it. For anyone who has been following me for a while, you will know everything I do is out of love, good energy.
You didn't think that the people who gave you an opportunity and a preference for that opportunity should have any sort of say. You think that whatever feeling and external variables you can imagine in your mind override what they explicitly expressed to you.
'Anyways, sorry, this is a whole different side of me. Thank you for all the sweet messages. I love you guys so much. Safe to say I am never allowed in that stadium again.'
The Dodgers have been contacted for comment. According to The Athletic, she was not punished for ignoring the team request and is not banned from Dodger Stadium in the future.
So anyway...... I did this for victims and now of course, I'm a victim. In making it all about me, I've now become the victim which now makes it double all about me.
Oh the fact that all the evil and mean oppressors didn't actually do anything evil and mean beyond stating their expectations and desires, well don't are believe that. I'm fully justified in what I did because of their REACTION which of course I can't actually prove but I'll gladly allege.
So there is the playbook clear as day.
1. An organization gives an opportunity with their preferences and guidelines.
2. You take that opportunity and make it all about you and your advocacy.
3. You engage in a pointless gesture that really doesn't change anything for anyone.
4. You use the fact that you ignored their preferences and guidelines to brand yourself the victim.
5. You double down by alleging some sort of retribution related to the fact they gave you an opportunity and had preferences.
6. You go forward having changed nothing but can now wear a golden victim crown on your head.
This is a literal synopsis for everything that happened yesterday on Flag Day with the No Kings protests.
The country voted for a President.
The "victims" call their election loss of the presidency a monarchy.
They rally against the monarchy vowing to make a difference.
They make no difference because we don't have a king.
They use the fact this is point out to them as proof they are being retaliated against and victimized.
They go forward with their golden victim crown feeling good about changing and doing nothing.
You're welcome.
