Fighter jets roar overhead during World Series game #1 opener, Fox TV Network ignores them

As someone who spends every Sunday morning behind a camera or directing cameras, I can say authoritatively that it’s difficult to catch unexpected one-off events on camera. And I’ve had fighter jets flying directly overhead without being able to catch them with my own 2 eyes, let alone a camera. So maybe your criticism is poorly placed until you try it yourself.

[Logical me]

Meh. Those flyovers over sporting events are a waste of taxpayer money anyway.

Every pilot must log in so much air time to remain current. Every active aircraft must be flown to keep airworthy. I imagine that this fly over each pilot and craft is logged in to meet the requirement anyway so why not.

This should NOT go unnoticed. Shame on you, FoxTV!

God Bless our troops.

Not for nothing,(as our country is falling apart) mainstream media can focus on jets at a ballgame but remain silent on Benghazi - and you’re upset with Fox?

[DefeatCorruption]

Hiring celebutards to sing the national anthem is a waste of money too.

Have the crowd sing it.

Hasn’t the national anthem been outlawed yet? Oh wait...obama still has a few years left. Silly me.

Is that someone everyone is supposed to know? Never heard of that person!

I did catch the “God Bless America” sung by a retired Marine Sgt. in dress uniform. He was excellent!

I've worked broadcast quality cameras. I understand what you're saying, BUT THIS WAS AN EXPECTED OCCURRENCE and there's no excuse to not prep a camera, zoomed out (long shot) to at least catch the glow of the afterburners as the jets roar by. It's been done before and works if camera is stationery.

But it's not just not showing the jets that bugged me, THE ANNOUNCERS NEVER MENTIONED THE FLYOVER OR GAVE THOSE PILOTS ANY RECOGNITION. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT DURING A GAME THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY DEDICATED TO OUR TROOPS.

Could’ve been much worse. Thank God Roseanne Barr wasn’t available. LOL

They didn’t mention the jets because FOX messed up royaly. Their supposed to fly at the end of the anthem and they flew over while she was singing. Yinz know nothin about TV production. They didn’t mention the planes because FOX sucks and Joe Buck sucks and the planes rock.

***Sounds as if the event wasn’t as well planned out as you are presuming.
