Fox Commentators - Discussing game during National Anthem - Disrespectful or not?

theDude24 · Oct 11, 2009

I am not politically correct by any means - but before the MIN/STL game - the announcers were discussing the game (Adrian Peterson, etc..) and in the background you could clearly hear the national anthem, and everyone was standing, etc...

Is this disrespectful? Shouldn't they just go to commercial during this time?

Guess it just caught me off guard bc I have never seen this before...

Of course not! The national anthem is for people, not corporations, silly.

You're not supposed to hear the national anthem in the background! The sound guy is going to get fired!
