South Carolina restaurant won't show Super Bowl, any NFL games until league stops 'showing disrespect' to veterans

The owner of a restaurant in South Carolina says he isn’t planning on airing the Super Bowl like other sports bars in the area, but he is planning an “Honor Bowl” as a show of support to veterans and active military members.

David McCraw, an Air Force veteran and the owner of the Palmetto Restaurant and Ale House in Greenville, first stopped airing NFL games at his establishment back in September, after scores of football players began kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality, police brutality, and statements made by President Trump.

“I’m never going back on it as long as they are going to protest,” McCraw told Fox News in November.
