While watching the Cowboy vs. Phil Game on the 9th of January 2010, I was deeply disappointed that you did not show and broadcast the playing of our great countries National Anthem. It was obvious on the field behind the announcers that the large American flag was being unfurled and they were preparing for the salute to the United States of America by playing the Star Spangled Banner.

With our soldiers fighting in two wars and America under attack as recently as last week by terrorist here at home, it is critical to our Nation’s well being to be reminded and stand proud when Our flag is displayed and the anthem is being played.

I don’t know why NBC played commercials’ instead but I ask in all seriousness that you inspire us all at future telecasts of sports events by broadcasting this important moment. After all, our soldiers overseas are watching these games when they can; they need to know that each and everyone of us support them in every way possible.

Please play those few minutes that include the presentation of colors and the Star Spangled Banner in the future. Please.

Sincerely,

Jim Logbeck
