DirecTV is allowing at least some customers to cancel subscriptions to its Sunday Ticket package of NFL games and obtain refunds, if they cite players' national anthem protests as the reason for discontinuing service, customer service representatives said Tuesday.

Under Sunday Ticket's regular policy, refunds are not to be given once the season is underway. But the representatives said they are making exceptions this season -- which began in September -- because of the controversy over the protests, in which players kneel or link arms during the national anthem.

Spokesmen for DirecTV-parent AT&T Inc. (T) and the National Football League declined to comment.

    I support their right to kneel during the anthem as well. I also support the right of viewers to not spend their money to be pissed off.

    Then why are you complaining so goddamn much? Oh right, cause you're a HYPOCRITE! Seriously, you just can't see the conflicts between your very own statements. You are like the Orange Dictator, maybe we should have a new story category "TMBgret" where people search the archives for hypocritical TMB posts.

    Should they get a refund for watching the game when their team loses then too?
