A top NBC sports executive producer said that the network planned on airing coverage of national anthem protests, if they happen, during the NFL’s upcoming Super Bowl LII.
“The Super Bowl is a live event … and when you’re covering a live event, you’re covering what’s happening. So if there are players that choose to kneel, they will be shown live,” said Fred Gaudelli, via Adweek, at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
