according to newsday. The culture war will get bloodier

--------
The first major broadcast domino has fallen. In response tocrashing ratings, plummeting ticket sales, and a public backlashfueled by none other than the leader of the free world, Fox Sports has decided to cry Uncle! Becoming the first major NFL broadcast partner to publicly say that they will no longer air the national anthem.
Instead, Fox Sports is now saying that they will go back to what they had done in the past, namely, not showing the playing of the anthem during game broadcasts, according to Newsday.
Calling this year, “one of the more bizarre starts to the season that we have ever had,” Fox Sports President Eric Shanks released a statement saying: “The standard procedure is not to show them because of the way the commercial format works and the timing of the anthem to get to the kickoff,” Shanks said Tuesday at an event to promote Fox’s soccer coverage of the 2018 World Cup. “So I think we’re going to pay attention to events.
“Who knows what’s going to happen? A lot of time is happening between now and then. But I think the plan would be to get back to a normal schedule. I think that’s where we sit today on a Tuesday . . . It seems like there’s more than 24 hours in a day now, doesn’t there?”
But liberal sports reporters are already crying foul with the move to “get back to football.”
Matt Yoder of Awful Announcing, for instance, is furious with Fox for taking away the players’ forum to protest against the country, especially because it will cut off a way to attack Donald Trump.
Yoder slammed Fox saying, “it’s impossible to go back to a normal schedule now when the NFL and its athletes are in the middle of a culture war with the sitting President of the United States.
“The anthem will be a huge story this week and likely will be throughout the remainder of the season as well,” the Awful Announcing writer insisted.

So the NFL ditching the Marxist politics should make us all happy, no?Not really, I prefer to watch the actual game, not the propaganda of politics..
I think it's wrong to avoid the telecast of the anthem. I want to know what the ignorant assholes are doing during the anthem and I want to see disgust that the fans share which in turn leads to fewer viewers and advertisers. Until the owners and Goodell finally decide it's not a good idea to diss our country, anthem, flag and servicemen, let them experience the fans' ourage
If fox could have convinced sane people instead of just the crazies that the protest was about dissing our country, anthem, flag and servicemen, other than what it is really about, they would continue showing it.
His words are pretty clear. He doesn't want to show pride in our country.
Just have to add.
HE IS A FUCKING ASSHOLE.
Oh, there were plenty of liberals then, it was a badge of honor.What do you think if the Revolutionary war and WWII. Thank God there were fewer liberals then or you would be speaking German and never experiencing the American Dream.
ROFLMAOTell me what did WWII get for us?? Not a thing.
And why would Americans be speaking German...?Thank God we have gone to war in the past. What do you think if the Revolutionary war and WWII. Thank God there were fewer liberals then or you would be speaking German and never experiencing the American Dream.The first man to fall out of line during the Vietnam war was a white man. David Meggyesy, against the Vietnam war and being told to stand at attention. You know the war that went on forever and we lost. The war that T was a draft dodger , but only the poor were draft dodgers. The elites depended on doctor slips.
To glorify war is really wrong.
All the bedwetters said they were 'done' with NFL football so it shouldn't matter to them what takes place on broadcasts of the games. Are you papercuts going back on your burning of the NFL flag?
Don't worry, if the anthem is not shown on broadcasts the players will protest during the game in some way. The dopes that want free speech to go away because it makes them uncomfortable don't know what the protests are about. The people that try to minimize the reason for the protests only serve to enhance and further them.
I'm a veteran and do not feel dissed by someone not being a good lemming and doing what people like you demand that they do with their lives...I think it's wrong to avoid the telecast of the anthem. I want to know what the ignorant assholes are doing during the anthem and I want to see disgust that the fans share which in turn leads to fewer viewers and advertisers. Until the owners and Goodell finally decide it's not a good idea to diss our country, anthem, flag and servicemen, let them experience the fans' ourage
So what?I'm a veteran and do not feel dissed by someone not being a good lemming and doing what people like you demand that they do with their lives...
Share the point then.Like anyone at home stands during the anthem and sings..
You miss the point as always

Your attention span too short to read the entire statement? I expected as much.
Probably so along with a dozen years in football playing..But it doesn't stop this veteran from saying what I feel..It's a bitch when most of your young adult life you are praised for hurting people and one day it all ends and you become the bad man..So what?I'm a veteran and do not feel dissed by someone not being a good lemming and doing what people like you demand that they do with their lives...
There are plenty of brain damaged vets and apparently you are one.
Best way to see all that is go to the game itself.I think it's wrong to avoid the telecast of the anthem.
