People (You) now can fill out feedbacks here (shared from NAD).

Help the deaf community share this and fills yours too.

You can copy and paste this in the comment/note box below if want or make your own comments.

Every year, there is an american sign language version of the national anthem nearby the main stage. Those signers are shown for one second or so literally every year. The deaf community is tired of being ignored and we request a PIP or half screen showing both versions at the same time. This is not the first time this issue came up and we would appreciate it if ASL was shown in its entirety going forward. Also make sure the ASL part is not obsecured by closed captioning or frames so that we can appreciate the full message.

Thank you
