| ESPN won’t show national anthem before 49ers game |
| 2016-08-31 |
| [PROFOOTBALLTALK.NBCSPORTS] One of the most-discussed moments of Week One of the NFL season will be the national anthem before the Monday night 49ers-Rams game, when Colin Kaepernick is expected to continue his protest and remain seated while other players are standing. But that moment won’t be televised. ESPN told Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated that it normally does not show the national anthem for the late game of the Week One Monday Night Football doubleheader and won’t show it this year either. |

| #10 Someone needs to put together an alternate or two. Folks are sick of ESPN, Google and Facebook but the alternates are non-existent or lame. I wish the Koch brothers were as all powerful as the left thinks they are. |

| #9 "MSNBC, with better graphics" As in "you can watch a game while we feed you leftwing propoganda". CBS was just as bad last Friday night. They televised a Tampa Bay preseason football game and did a "feature" at halftime on their rookie kicker. The message? How "inspired" the kicker was by his dad's CROSSING ILLEGALLY INTO THE UNITED STATES to bring his family here. We're all doomed if we don't make some serious course changes. The powers that be have the decked stacked heavily in favor of our national destruction. |

| #1 Is there a comical meaning for the ESPN abbreviation such as CNN = Clinton (or Communist as some would say) News Network? |
