No one is safe from getting mocked on Twitter. Not even Aretha Franklin.
Before today’s Thanksgiving day game between the Lions and Vikings, the Queen of Sould, Aretha Franklin, blessed t with an extended rendition of the national anthem.
After the anthem was over, Twitter was quick to mock the soul legend.
This Aretha rendition may force players to take a knee just because their feet are getting tired. Christ.

Aretha Franklin is doing a ball-control national anthem. It's all about clock management everyone.

Bad news: Football is cancelled
Good news: 13-hour Aretha Franklin concert. Leave it on through dinner. Everybody will love it.— The Ringer (@ringer) November 24, 2016
I cooked my whole turkey, ate and did the dishes during Aretha Franklin's National Anthem performance.
