Blog: Networks not showing fans booing kneeling players during anthem
Networks broadcasting NFL games refused to allow camera shots of angry fans booing kneeling players during the national anthem. The Sporting News also reports that one behind the scenes TV employee said that networks told the camera operators not to pan the crowd during the anthem which would have showed what viewers could easily hear; booing fans.
Networks typically do not televise the national anthem except for the Super Bowl and other special occasions, but they recognized there would be intense viewer interest this past weekend.
Some fans, if they reacted at all, happily clapped and cheered during protests, but others did not, and they angrily let their home teams know it. The audio mics picked up the boos. Yet the TV networks mostly avoided crowd shots Sunday, so there was never a chance for viewers to see fans jeering players.
A segment of Patriots fans in Foxborough, Mass., for example, nearly booed their own players off the field when some Pats sat or kneeled, with some screaming, "Stand up!"
