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.


Is pretending like the anthem doesn't even exist more disrespectful than kneeling during it?

Good. I really hope this whole thing leads to no longer playing it at every single sporting event. Blind patriotism is not good, and exploiting it for business purposes is even worse. And that's all this has ever been.

It's a timing thing due to the London game being on fox today.

By the time the London game ended/some post game and then a small amount of pregame it was kickoff already.

Not a statement or censorship just scheduling. This happened last year in fact.

Why'd Trump run on the slogan "Make America great again"? What was he referring to? Isn't he a billionaire, why's he complaining?

It's a timing thing due to the London game being on fox today.

By the time the London game ended/some post game and then a small amount of pregame it was kickoff already.

Not a statement or censorship just scheduling. This happened last year in fact.


Since nobody read this. It's a one week thong due to time constraints.

Honestly, if the NFL had any balls they would fine all these players and teams. There are rules in the NFL rule book that state all players must be on the sidelines for the anthem and I think it says standing iirc.

But they too busy giving guys 10+ game suspensions for marijuana usage.
