That’s CENSORSHIP!!!!

How dare them to censor the National Anthem! Omitting, or blocking it, from the public, is WORSE THAN KNEELING!

Actually this is funny. The players all taking a stand being obnoxious aren’t being seen, therefore none of their protests are getting out. Interesting strategy.

This announcement essentially says ESPN will bury its head in the sand and hope the problem goes away.

ESPN stands for Entirely Socialist, Probably Nazi.

It is important to remember that the NFL is not football.

Football is an extremely popular sport that generates billions.

The two are not inseparable.

Death to the NFL. Long live football.

Someone will video the kneelers and put it on the interweb thingy all the young folks are talking about.

Youtube is ready to ban.

NOT defending ESPN, however, this is a good call. First, it won’t give the spineless, a-hole, puke players; a platform to display their complete disregard for everything American. Second, it helps ESPN a bit by at least appearing to do the right thing.
Don’t give the pukes a national platform, then see how long it lasts.

Why does ESPN HATE the “protesters” and their cause so much? Media blackout=racism. If the kneelers want something to be triggered about here it is.

But, according to the story in USA Today, Pitano “bristled” at the suggestion that ESPN was a political network.

Yeah people often do not like when you call then out on what they really are!

Don’t watch the NFL and don’t watch zero of ESPN’s talking face shows.
