MOBILE, Alabama (WKRG) According to Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports will no longer be airing the national anthem before NFL football games due to kneeling players.
In a statement from Fox Sports to Sports Illustrated, besides the London game, the National Anthem will not be aired live on Sunday.
Multiple NFL players were seen kneeling or standing arm and arm during the national anthem. Some teams chose to stay inside the locker room.

No, it doesn't. It means Fox is depriving these spoiled millionaire players of their opportunity to insult this country.
It's not an ideal solution, but it's better than letting these display their un-American thuggery to millions. Indeed, it's an interim measure while everyone waits for the NFL to get its sh-t together, because it's going to end up gone if it doesn't.
And the fans will still boycott the NFL. Everyone has to make that very clear that this is what the consequences are.
The NFL has one way out of this, and one way only, and that is to show respect for its fans and make these players behave like civilized Americans instead of spoiled ghetto rats.
Ultimately, the fans are more important than the players, because without the fans, there are no players, no teams, and no league.
It's amazing to watch the NFL commit financial suicide like this due to political correctness. But that's precisely what's happening...
Bandaid on a cancer.
They will find other ways to cause problems.
Knowing that it’s being hidden makes me more interested in it. But I won’t be watching the NFL until they start doing the right things, they have a long way to go. Trying to hide players anti-American antics isn’t the solution.
I told my son that and he told me to be quiet.
Defensemen need to be ready to crush a guy.

Then you've capitulated to the black panthers and BLM.
How’z bout playing the national anthem and showing the flag or soldiers saluting the flag instead of scanning the sidelines looking for a hood rat disrespecting the country that made them rich. Hmmmmmm?
That's a good idea too. Either way, the players don't get to make their protests public, except to the fans in the stadium.
That way, they get only the negative results of their protest, and nothing positive from it.
That's the best way to start, IMHO—simply depriving these ghetto rats of their precious public platform. The rest will work itself out eventually, because the news will travel like wildfire about whoever is protesting, and they'll feel the heat...
Nobody sang it better than Roger Doucet (RIP) at the Montreal Forum from 1970 to 1981:

Sorry, not taking anything away from Kate Smith at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.
"I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I seeeeeee........."
Which would be broadcast as a bunch of bleeps.
Re your photo of the Rams, post 19:
“Hands up, don’t pass!”
The stupid, it burns.
Bye Fox.
At least some of the NFL viewership is just at the beginning, seeing who is protesting. If they don’t show the opening ceremonies, it means fox might lose those viewers, too.
Yup, deprive them of the camera to play to.
Someone needs to photoshop those pink pussycat hats on them, that would be funny.
So they’ll do something for the touchdown celebration.
NOTE TO FOX:
Nice try ,, that won’t satisfy me ,, I remain in boycott .
“I’m gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I seeeeeee.........”

The NFL IS DEAD TO ME
In other words... ignore the problem and it’ll go away.
“So theyll do something for the touchdown celebration.”

True. I wouldn’t show that either, just cut after the score. The NFL should be banning and heavily fining (at least $100,000) any such nonsense anyway.
