BRAVO VIN SCULLY!

Vin Scully Won't Watch Another NFL Game Due to Anthem Protests

By Rick Moran November 5, 2017

Legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully said that he'd never watch another NFL game because of protests during the national anthem.

Scully began his career broadcasting Brooklyn Dodgers games in the 1950s and continued with the team when they moved to Los Angeles. He retired last year.

Fox News:

"During the fall and winter, I watch the NFL on Sunday, and it's not that I'm some great patriot. I was in the Navy for a year, didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything, but I have overwhelming respect and admiration for anyone who puts on a uniform and goes to war. So the only thing that I can do in my little way is to not to preach; I will never watch another NFL game."

As Sports Illustrated notes, Scully’s remarks come at a relatively safe time for him, as he retired last year after almost seven decades as a broadcaster for the Dodgers. Over the past two seasons of the NFL, players have been kneeling during the National Anthem, despite the NFL guidelines encouraging players to stand and place their hands over their hearts.
