Outrage! ESPN wants the national anthem stopped at sporting events

• Horn News

Is loving America a political statement? According to ESPN "First Take" co-host Max Kellerman it is — and he doesn't want it played at NFL games.

On Thursday morning's broadcast, Kellerman told his audience that he thought the NFL was injecting politics into football for playing The Star Spangled Banner before kickoff.

Really!?

He argued the NFL put pressure on fans and athletes to stand for it, telling co-host Stephen A. Smith "You do not have to stand for the national anthem!"

The exchange happened during a discussion of Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett's comparison of quarterback Colin Kaepernick to superstar boxer Muhammed Ali.
