"FOX. YOU are the weakest link. Goodbye."

Fox Sports says they will not air any live anthem coverage from any other game except for the London contest between the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints.
Last week, the network aired the national anthem from games as more than 250 players took a knee during the anthem to protest President Trump calling for NFL players to be fired for what he says as disrespect to the flag.
The Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks chose not to even leave their respective lockers during the anthem.
"As we have in previous broadcasts of NFL games from London, Fox will show the National Anthem as well as God Save the Queen live. As is standard procedure, regionalized coverage of NFL game airing on FOX this Sunday will not show the National Anthem live; however, our cameras are always rolling and we will document the response of players and coaches on the field," Fox said in a statement.
What’s that old saying again?
You can’t fix stupid?
Something like that.
So halftime report showed coverage of multiple teams kneeling, seemed to me like they didn’t want to cover fans booing as it occurred just show the edited video of protests after the fact
If they don’t air it, the military will not be paying the NFL for it.
So the national anthem is not something the public need to see.
Really?
So Fox joins ESPN in a downward spiral.
First they came for the Confederate flag...
Fox - Just another bunch of cowards with no moral foundation, only in it for the money. Done with them
Our media providers are clueless.
I agree with you.
Wow. They really aren’t getting it.
Off topic, bit I went to a college game last night. And players didn’t come out of the locker room until after the anthem. I don’t know if college football has any policies on the anthem. But the game I was at, there would have been no protest because the players weren’t there.
Some have suggested that these protests could spread to college ball.
How did that work out for Fox? Three a-holes took a knee for the national anthem and stood for God Save the Queen, reminding America the league allows players to disrespect its own country and its national anthem.
obviously, an attempt to remove the insult to the viewers...so that more viewers don’t turn the channel off
wben we turn a channel off, it lowers their ratings and eventually lowers their advertising revenues
fox probably figures, why let a bunch of anti-American idiot “kneelers” COST US MONEY!?
Et tu Faux? Go ahead, who cares we won’t be watching anyway.
Hiding the singing of the NATIONAL ANTHEM from public view will incense the “former” NFL fans even more.
All of this is very easy:
#BoycottNFL
#BoycottFOXSPORTS
Then I will not watch Fox ever again.
Warning to the assholes of America, if you aid and abet these traitors, then you are also a traitor, and you will be dealt with as such.
Respect America, or get out. You have no other options.
Most college players in football don’t come out except for special occasions as far what I’ve seen with my own eyes going to games.....
I just caught my husband “cleaning the garage” with the NFL Red Zone Channel on on his phone.
He is definitely on “my list”
