Now compare this to former Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant:
BUD FLAGS ABC FOR UNPATRIOTIC CONDUCT Ed Sherman, Chicago Tribune CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Why bother staying for the game?
''I think the national anthem is the highlight of the game,'' said Minnesota Vikings` coach Bud Grant.
Grant was upset because ABC was not going to televise the singing of the anthem Thursday night. It was sung at 6:59 p.m., and the Viking-Bear game went on the air at 7 p.m.
The television audience missed the patriotic moment. The Viking cheerleaders carried American flags, and Grant and his team stood at attention to the delight of a cheering crowd.
