As President Trump railed against National Football League players, teams, and owners in September 2017 for kneeling in protest during the U.S. national anthem, the disreputable web site TheLastLineofDefense.org published a fake news story claiming that Fox Sports, a subsidiary of Fox Broadcasting Company, would suspend the broadcast of professional football games: There is no truth to this story. The Last Line of Defense bills itself as a satire publication and states in a disclaimer that all its content is fictional: This fictional article also featured a fictional quote from an imaginary Fox Sports spokeswoman. We found no record of a Holly McGree working for Fox Sports, let alone appearing on Fox and Friends. Furthermore, Fox Sports still lists dozens of upcoming NFL game broadcasts on its web site.
