Protesting the protest: Fayetteville station dumps ECU game

Posted Oct 4, 2016
Fans of East Carolina University football in Fayetteville won't hear the team's Saturday game against South Florida on 100.1 FM because of the decision made by some ECU band members to kneel during the National Anthem this past weekend. Jeff Andrulonis, the CEO of Colonial Media and Entertainment, which owns the station, called the student protest a "shameful disrespect of the National Anthem." (WRAL Sports Fan)
