ESPN faces backlash for not broadcasting national anthem and moment of silence before Sugar Bowl.

ESPN faced backlash after not broadcasting the national anthem and moment of silence before the Sugar Bowl on January 2, 2025, following a terrorist attack in New Orleans that killed 15 people. The game was postponed from January 1. ESPN claimed the decision was due to commercial break timing, but fans criticized the network for not showing the pre-game patriotic moments, which were aired on ESPN’s SEC Network.
