ESPN president: We won't cover national anthem during Monday Night Football
American Thinker, Aug 18, 2018, Rick Moran

New ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro told reporters that the network would not televise the national anthem before their Monday Night Football broadcast.

There was some speculation that ESPN, who hasn't been shy about covering politics, might break with precedent and show the protests of players during the playing of the anthem.

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

[...]

Not only is ESPN a political network, it is a blatantly partisan political network. With players in most major sports spouting off on politics ignorantly and many ESPN reporters and commentators egging them on, the network is pushing a partisan agenda - both in game, and on every other show broadcast by the network.

Now  hear this NFL:

No Anthem, no watch.

Who cares what they do, not going to watch anyway.

I've moved on.
