NFL bans Live Performances of the National Anthem

[DWalt]

In the name of preventing the spread of COVID-19, there will be no pre-game on-field live performances of the National Anthem for the 2020 NFL season. Apparently there can still be live performances of the National Anthem off the field which can somehow be "piped in" to the stadium. No on-field military or police honor guards either.

Don’t watch anymore but the virtue signaling is sickening.

What's the NFL?

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

They will soon be using a sound track because there will no fans in the stadiums. Canned applause and cheering.

 

[wheelgun28]

Soon it will be, Please all rise for the burning of the flag. While they play the Soviet Anthem.

Clown World at its finast.

I always hated football any way

 

[Sistema1927]

Why don't they just relocate the season to Cuba or Venezuela where they will be much happier?

Love football, but hate the mixing of politics, sports and spoiled, unpatriotic athletes even more. This stunt with the national anthem is just a way to incrementally eliminate it from sports in an attempt to placate the *******s. Soooo done!!

Maybe they can just broadcast two kids playing Madden from their Moms basement.

Professional “e-sports” are already a thing.


Yes, people get paid salaries and there are teams of video game players.

Be more fun to watch the local high schools. Tickets are cheaper, not as far to travel, don't get gouged for refreshments.

Except they can not use the Indian Chief anymore.

I stopped watching the NFL years ago. The best thing people can do is to stop watching. Once the revenue goes pretty fast down the drain things will change. Money talks...

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

Yes, let the team owners and the advertisers feel it in the bottom line.

I long ago proposed that not playing the National Anthem at events where it wasn’t going to be honored anyway was the solution to the kneeling issue . . .

If these over-paid, muscle bound cry babies take a knee, no one should watch. To me the NFL is becoming anti-American and can leave the shores anytime for greener socialist pastures.

What do You mean---- becoming. They are.

I wrote to the NFL months ago with a solution to the political aspects during the playing of the National Anthem. I suggested that all cameras be trained on the flag during the playing of the National Anthem and then go to a commercial while the teams get ready for the opening kick-off. No response.

I can't say the first thing that came to mind!

These players are taught much of what they believe in our colleges and universities.
