Was removing THE NATIONAL ANTHEM from professional sports the endgame all along?
Yes, along with destroying football, since it encourages “toxic masculinity”.
I don’t recall the anthem ever being televised for foosball games. They use that time for commercials. I don’t watch many games but I think that is how it goes.
Nah, they never typically showed the national anthem on TV until Kaepernick and it became a big "will he or won't he" show. Except at playoff games and a handful of rare occasions. They are just going back to that to try to defuse the situation. Problem is now people will assume the players ARE protesting unless they see otherwise. That's the new normal in the NFL. So hiding the national anthem isn't going to do the trick. My opinion.
