Lee Greenwood thinks that "maybe" the NFL will have him "kick off" the Super Bowl with his POS jingoistic anthem

Greenwood appears on board with Johnson’s choice — telling several outlets on Thursday that he would “make a great performer for any Super Bowl show.”

“I perform for various NFL teams every year, especially during their Salute To Service games,” Greenwood wrote in a statement. “As a matter of fact, I will be doing halftime for the Dallas Cowboys during Monday Night Football on November 3rd. Football is one of America’s most watched sports, and I am always thrilled to perform the anthem or ‘God Bless The U.S.A.’ during the games.”

He continued: “Maybe the NFL will have me perform this year at the Super Bowl prior to the game to have a stadium full of football fans singing ‘God Bless The U.S.A.’ to kick-off the game!”

Greenwood, 82, has been a familiar face within MAGA circles. He recently performed at the memorial service for late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as well as during Trump’s presidential inauguration in January.

"If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away."

They've been screwed by Republicans, but they still keep voting for them.

Would always play that song when they’re punishing all us recruits for even the slightest of things. It is torture now to me. Brings back painful memories
