EricB Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I stopped watching ESPN when olbermann started his rants years ago. I am now gong into season 2.5 of not watching, supporting financially, or worrying about the NFL. I used to go to at least four games a year when I left Phoenix and was a season ticket holder when I lived in Phoenix metro. Screw em! NHL and MLB only for me.

GPM Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 From what I read ESPN never showed the Anthem being played. They just said they are continuing the practice. I wouldn't be surprised to see other networks follow. It lets them and the NFL off the hook. Out of sight, out of mind. At least they probably think so. If other networks follow I imagine the players will be pissed. Takes away their visual. How long ago was it that the NFL said they were taking two weeks to deal with the issue with the players? Seems simple to me. Any player not standing, or showing any gesture of protest, during the Anthem is suspended for the following game without pay. Second offense following three games, The third offense, the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 This is clearly an attempt to silence BLM. There is no other reason ESPN would refuse to show young black men protesting the extreme injustices of the country that made them rich showered them with attention oppressed them. Shame on ESPN. The protesters should be prominently displayed during the ENTIRE National Anthem. ESPN is racist to its core. Show the protesters kneeling. Show the raised fists. Show the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gestures. It's time the country is allowed to see the depths of the racism and injustice so prevalent in America.
