The young American hockey players were totally excited after winning the Gold at the World Juniors tournament.
So they gathered together and sang the National Anthem. And fans were excited to see a national team that was proud of their country.
But if you were watching ESPN — you wouldn’t have witnessed this wonderful moment. They didn’t show it on TV.
Thankfully, TSN Sports — a Canadian sports network — shared the moment with their audience.
Former ESPN sportscaster Sage Steele blasted the decision by ESPN.
Crazy that CANADA's top sports network @TSN_Sports chose to show this special moment from AMERICA's junior hockey team after winning gold..but AMERICA's largest sports network @espn chose to completely ignore it on all social media platforms. Also crazy considering ESPN's rights… https://t.co/yV3cXXBNW6

Do you wish our country’s sports networks would air videos like this?
