Anyone watch the National Anthem tonight? NFL Pre-Season tonight

I certainly didn't see it...

And ya know Al Michaels ( a great right winger) play by play guy.. Wouldn't utter a word..

I really feel that the NFL are in deep shit.. I couldn't care less, except I'm avid N.Y. Gint fan..
This flag crap is more important than my love for Eli. Even though he should have retired

Forgot the most imp part..Did the NFL keep it off the Air? or did they not even have the Flag ceremony?

Anyone have an anwser?

and go back to having the teams in the locker room for the anthem (they can watch it on TV in the locker room like the viewers at home and stand/sit/kneel/salute/whatever is important to them).

But they won't.

I didn't see the start of tonight's game but if I were a TV producer/exec I'd choose to show commercials instead of the anthem and instruct the on-air talent not to talk about it -- no matter what you piss someone off, so ignore it and talk about football.

And I love NFL Football... But the issue is too important... I want the players to be able to express their feelings..and at the cost of an NFL Season.. issue is too important!

Unfortunately, the RW nutter owners like Jerry Jones are pushing this issue for Trump...it's ruining the sport, not because players are kneeling but because the owners are choosing to act like autocrats.

It’s easy to sing, and play.
