In addition, ESPN has said it won't air the National Anthem before the Monday Night Football game.
This came after last week's controversy surrounding players protesting during the anthem. In another thread, I said that before 9-11, TV and radio networks routinely skipped the playing of the National Anthem. So I'm not surprised that the networks have decided to skip the anthem.
