ESPN is facing a firestorm of rage across the nation for the network’s decision not to broadcast the Sugar Bowl’s moment of silence for the victims of the muslim terrorist attack in New Orleans.
ESPN also refused to broadcast the national anthem. Nor did they air an incredible moment of unity when Georgia and Notre Dame fans filled the Superdome with chants of “USA, USA.”

The Sugar Bowl had been postponed as a result of the New Year’s Day massacre. ESPN also drew fire for describing the Muslim terrorist attack as a “truck attack.”
The network has yet to explain why they did not broadcast the moment of silence or the national anthem. Instead, they aired an offensive, woke message from Allstate, the sponsor of the Sugar Bowl.
“We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept peoples imperfections and differences. Together we win,” Allstate CEO Thomas Wilson said.
Allstate failed to condemn the Muslim terrorist attack. Click here to read our coverage of that story.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who coached in three Sugar Bowl games, accused ESPN of surrendering to the woke, DEI mob.
“American sports, and especially college football, have always been a patriotic tradition that brings ALL AMERICANS together,” he wrote on X. “Unfortunately, ESPN (who is owned by Disney) gave in to the woke mob last night by REFUSING to air the National Anthem and instead played a video of the Allstate CEO talking about ‘divisiveness.'”

“This was a chance for us all to come together,” the former Auburn University coach wrote. “But instead of honoring the innocent lives lost, these woke corporations bowed to terrorists.”
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre posted a terse message: “Woke is a joke.”
“I’ve talked to sports execs and producers at every network this morning — CBS, NBC, and Fox — all of them are in complete disbelief ESPN didn’t cover the national anthem and moment of silence for terror victims at the Sugar Bowl,” said Clay Travis of Outkick Sports. “All say it’s one of the most indefensible sports production errors they’ve ever seen.”
The irony is that ESPN broadcast protests against the national anthem. They also broadcast a moment of silence to protest the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation in Florida.
