ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro said that ESPN will not show the national anthem on Monday Night Football. ESPN pays approximately $2 billion a year to broadcast Monday Night Football.

Stephanie Druley, ESPN’s senior vice president of event and studio production, said the network showed the national anthem three times last year: following Hurricane Harvey’s devastation, the Las Vegas massacre and President Trump’s comments on the national anthem protests.

If all of the networks stopped showing the national anthem before NFL games, would this help or worsen the conversation about protesting before the game? Does this look like another way the media is trying to silence the players?
