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.

Off with their heads!
Your analysis of their outrage does make a lot of sense. Some recent comments made me realize that football, cheap beer, and nationalism are all tied together in the modern US propaganda stereotype. Infringe on any of those and you draw emotional outrage from the brainwashed masses, logic is out reactionary stupidity is in.
