Photos of pissed-off NFL fans are virtually non-existent from professional photo agencies, which indicates the mainstream media is downplaying President Trump’s success in his war against the NFL.
Getty Images, which overall is a good subscription service for news sites, has very few photos of fans upset when their team kneeled during the national anthem at a NFL game, but in contrast there’s plenty of photos of anti-Trump fans available.

“The audio mics picked up the boos, yet the TV networks mostly avoided crowd shots Sunday, so there was never a chance for viewers to see fans jeering players,” reported SportingNews.com. “One behind-the-scenes TV staffer at another stadium told Sporting News that camera operators were ordered to avoid crowd shots in case they showed fans counterprotesting the protests.”
“…By covering one of the most significant days in NFL history with rose-colored glasses, the networks cheated viewers.”
