Following New Orleans, Louisiana was also hit by a catastrophe. Islamic State (ISIS)-related terrorist attacks Early on New Year’s Day, the Sugar Bowl between Notre Dame and Georgia State was postponed. 24 hours.

Unless it’s ESPN, that was one of those moments that made me really proud to be an American. The Four Letter Network, which broadcast the Sugar Bowl exclusively, did not broadcast a moment of silence or chants of “USA.” To my surprise, the national anthem wasn’t even played!

Really ESPN? No national anthem and moment of silence for the victims of the New Orleans jihadist terrorist attack??! There is no excuse for that.
Disney’s CEO needs to stand up for himself and demand a complete restructuring of the entire network. Otherwise, you need to sell now.

ESPN, it’s time to let Disney go – no more anti-American control.
