Fox and ESPN won't air anthem live during this weekend's NFL games

Fox said the network won’t be showing the anthem live, but that the cameras “are always rolling so if something happens, we will be sure to cover it.” ESPN also said it would not air the anthem live Monday night.

CBS declined to comment and NBC did not respond.

The anthem is not usually aired live apart from major events, but networks broadcast them last month after President Trump publicly fumed about NFL players who took a knee during the “Star Spangled Banner” to protest treatment of black Americans, particularly by police.
