NBC analyst sparks controversy with national anthem comments
Keystone Press

After running back Marshawn Lynch of the Oakland Raiders decided not to stand for the National Anthem, and instead, sit on a cooler eating a banana during a preseason game on Saturday, the sports world exploded with opinions.

Former NHL player and current NHL on NBC host Jeremy Roenick used a fake quote on Twitter to make his point on how he feels about the situation.


James Harrison didn't actually say that, as it's a made up quote from a Happy Gilmore blog. The radio station listed in the article is actually a country station in Texas. Whether or not Roenick knew that before quoting the tweet is unknown, but he clearly used it as a way to express how he felt.

This recent trend of believing everything you see online continues to be a problem in today's society. Maybe do some research before posting something to your hundreds of thousands of followers?

What are your thoughts on Roenick's comment?
