Team USA’s passionate rendition of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship has sparked both celebration and controversy. While many praised the team for their patriotic display, former ESPN anchor Sage Steele called out the network for completely ignoring the moment. Steele questioned why ESPN, with its rights deal with the NHL, failed to recognize the significance of the national anthem being sung by future NHL stars. The video of the heartening moment was shared by Canadian broadcaster TSN instead. This raises concerns about ESPN’s priorities and its commitment to showcasing hockey. Despite ESPN’s major league partnership with the NHL, it appears that patriotism from aspiring NHL players may not be on the network’s radar. While it’s possible that ESPN simply missed the news, Steele and others are highlighting the importance of acknowledging and applauding the pride shown by Team USA. Their patriotic display serves as a shining example of how athletes should represent their country.
