I have also found myself skimming the sports section looking for mention of NFL players kneeling or otherwise protesting the National Anthem. I have found none. No mention of players kneeling, no mention of players staying in the locker room. Nothing.
Should I glean from this that the practice has ceased.
Or should I glean from this that the paper has purposefully ceased reporting it. Isn't the failure to report news just about the same as reporting "fake news"?
I heard a news report last week that the TV networks made a decision not to air the portion of the pregame that includes the national anthem - so whatever the players want to do (or not do) does not go out on the air anyway. Take away their stage, and they'll quit throwing their little bitch-fits for attention. The networks were just tired of listening to the fighting about it and being stuck in the middle while watching viewership drop and advertising revenue walk away.
