ESPN doesn’t show national anthem, U-S-A chants ahead of Sugar Bowl after New Orleans terror attack

Too bad the players didn’t kneel during the anthem in the name of “Black Lives Matter.” ESPN would surely have shown that, as it did during the NBA playoffs in 2020.

Anyway, don’t expect ESPN to show any highlights of the “U-S-A” chants either. Instead, expect the network to return to its regularly scheduled programming of using race to pressure NFL voters to give Lamar Jackson the MVP over Josh Allen.

Shades of 2021 when CNN blamed a “car” for the Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade massacre during which black nationalist Darrell Edward Brooks Jr. drove an SUV through the parade, killing six people and injuring 62 others.

The 2025 Sugar Bowl was delayed until Thursday as the host city of New Orleans was hit by a deadly terror attack on New Year’s Day. During the pre-game ceremony, the stadium held a moment of silence for the victims, after which Georgia and Notre Dame fans came together in a powerful stream of loud “U-S-A” chants.

ESPN neglected to show any of the three across the air.

The scene highlighted the power and unification of American sports. Yet viewers of ESPN, which exclusively carried the broadcast, were unable to see the moment of silence, the chants of “U-S-A,” or even the national anthem.
