ESPN Says It Won't Air the National Anthem Before NFL Games This Year

-

ESPN has opted not to air the national anthem this season according to multiple sources. The announcement was made during the network's media day on Friday when president, Jimmy Pitaro, said the anthem wouldn't be televised for NFL or college games.

This isn't unprecedented, however. ESPN occasionally aired the national anthem during its Monday Night Football games prior to the 2017 season. Last year the anthem was televised during the 16th anniversary of 9/11, and again when the Washington Redskins faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs following the Las Vegas massacre.

Pitaro's message to the network was to remember that ESPN is about sports first and will touch on politics when those issues become relevant within a sports context.

He’s played a mafia don in  American Gangster  and a dodgy police detective in Training Day  but now Denzel Washington wants to be one of the good guys. The Oscar-winning actor told Reddit users during an  Ask Me Anything session yesterday that he wanted to take on the  role of 007 . “The next James Bond? They better hurry up! Yes I would! Who's doing James Bond now..Daniel Craig! Did they shoot another one?” He even went so far as to launch a social media campaign, saying, “Everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond! Send it to the studio! We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today!” Reddit users were quick to spread the word, with pm_me-please posting “I just tweeted #DenzelIsJamesBond everybody do it now!” British actor Craig  has been playing 007 since 2006 when he starred in a darker remake of  Casino Royale . His version of the spy marked a departure from the more cheesy action romps that the franchise was previously known for. Along with the Bond question, Washington was al

Nikki Mudarris Flaunts Cleavage Ring in Nip-Slip Instagram Pic

Nicki Mudarris is extremely confident with her appearance, and she isn't afraid to show it.  The voluptuous reality TV star/model has often posed for the cameras in very revealing fashion, and recently suffered a nip-slip on the 'Gram. While sitting next to one of her friends inside of a lavish car, Nikki's breast popped out of her dress which left a lot of room for teasing in the cleavage region.  The hourglass beauty has in the past revealed that she does in fact have nipple rings, and one of them was on full display in her nip-slip picture.  If it wasn't for Instagram's shaky rules against the exposure of nudity, Miss Nikki would most likely have kept the picture on her profile, but she quickly deleted it and replaced it with another non-nip-slip photo of her sitting by her friend.  She's also posted tons of seductive photos accenting her curvaceous features just for fun. Check out the uncensored nip-slip picture  here , and her sex tape here Source:  TheS
