“Are you kidding me? Read the room!” – NFL fans pile on Fox Sports for using Kanye West track amid anti-Semitism scandal

Last week, Kanye West lost hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsorship and partnership deals with companies around the world. Companies and brands cut ties with the rapper as his unapologetic anti-Semitic comments continued. He was also released from his representation through CAA after the comments were made on social media and in recent interviews.While Adidas, the Gap and Balenciaga were some of the major brands to separate themselves from the rapper, others decided to prohibit his music as well. Texas A&amp;M even announced that they would stop playing his music during on-campus sporting events.But during the Dallas Cowboys matchup against the Chicago Bears, FOX used one of his songs as they went to a commercial break. The song 'Flashing Lights' which was released back in 2007, was played as FOX showed a Bears touchdown.Fans took to Twitter during the Sunday afternoon game, wondering why FOX Sports used a Kanye West song during their broadcast.Awful Announcing@awfulannouncingOf the many companies &amp; organizations who distanced themselves from Kanye West's music this week, Fox was apparently not one of them.25636Of the many companies &amp; organizations who distanced themselves from Kanye West's music this week, Fox was apparently not one of them. https://t.co/oRarq1HZMDMCBigCat@MCBigCatFox playing Kanye West going into a commercial break are you kidding me?!?!?!?
