No, it doesn't. It means Fox is depriving these spoiled millionaire players of their opportunity to insult this country.

One cell phone camera will foil this little plan.

Better yet, go to hockeyfights.com and watch the great sport of hockey distilled to its most basic essence. Great for those with busy schedules.

I agree. This is disgusting. We’ll be going out of our way not to watch Fox Sports.

Thank you for this, growing up in NJ I used to love hearing him sing this and O Canada when the Rangers played the Canadians in the Forum. The Schaefer Circle of Sports on Channel 9.

What Fox should NOT be doing is airing any games that include NFL teams. That would be something exceedingly worthwhile for all concerned.

Try Russian hockey for blood on the ice & fights to the death.

I’ll bet nobody fails to stand for THEIR national anthem!

Right, now they edit out the crowd booing and show the edited video of the protesters at halftime, gotta control the narrative.

That is big media’s way. Don’t show anything that harms the left wing narrative.

The network equivalent of closing their eyes, plugging their ears, and repeating "nananana" out loud. Grow up, Fox. Act like you have a pair. Take stand. Your viewers sure are.

No it won't. It will still deprive the player of showing his phony "protest" to millions of people on an NFL broadcast.

The only people who will see his lousy protest will be the ones who want to see it, just to be reminded of how un-American he is.

Depriving them of their platform until they straighten up is a big step towards crushing them...

I would say Fox cares not a wit about depriving the players, only about protecting their interests. They’d probably salute the players with admiration if they could get away with it. I feel more likely they are gambling that by not showing the anthem, many viewers will return and forget about the issue.
