BREAKING NEWSFans slam ‘disgraceful’ NBC for failing to show the national anthem ahead of Rams-Eagles playoff game

NBC Sports opted against airing the national anthem before Sunday’s Divisional Round game between the Philadelphia Eagles and visiting Los Angeles Rams.

Various networks have taken different approaches to showing The Star-Spangled Banner before kickoffs, but NBC appeared to have angered many fans by opting against doing so on Sunday.

‘Y’all and the @NFL are a disgrace and total losers for not showing the national anthem for the Rams v Eagles,’ one critic wrote on X. ‘Wow.’

Another fan mistakenly directed his displeasure at NBC News: ‘@NBCNews F^%# You for not showing the national Anthem!!! Shame on you!!!’

‘Once again NBC doesn’t show national anthem,’ one commenter added. ‘Thank God our country is moving away from woke and woke networks!!!’

Recently ESPN chief Burke Magnus admitted the network made ‘an enormous mistake’ not showing the national anthem before the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

But Magnus blamed ‘human error’ after neither ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ nor the moment of silence were shown on the main broadcast following the ᴅᴇᴀᴅly terror attack, which killed 14 people and injured a further 35.

College football fans were left furious, with one branding ESPN ‘disgusting’ and former anchor Sage Steele accusing the network of deliberately skipping the anthem before Notre Dame faced Georgia at Caesars Superdome.

But Magnus, ESPN’s president of content, insists the network feels ‘terrible’ about the incident and ‘should be held to account’ over it.

‘There are a group of people in Bristol who just made an enormous mistake,’ he told The Clay Travis & Buck Sєxton Show. 

‘It was a human error, it happens. I don’t want to minimize it by any stretch but nothing was normal about that next day – including our programming lineup.’
