The NFL’s partner TV networks are now refusing to show any kneeling protests at all during the national anthem, as viewership declined steadily this season.
As Sporting News points out, just three weeks ago the major TV networks refused to show angry fans booing the protesting players. But now the networks are refusing to show any part of the protests.
