Calcaterra said it’s not so easy doing that: “Getting there requires people to accept that those who question our leaders and do not support all military ventures can still be patriots.”

No, they are parasites that exist on the blood of patriots.

Patriotism is NOT politics.

NBC stands for “National Broadcasting Corporation.”

It was founded by David Sarnoff, who emigrated to the United States from Russia when he was nine years old.

David Sarnoff was incredibly patriotic, a totally enthusiastic American, who went from dirt-poor to fabulous riches because he took advantage of every opportunity America offered.

He kept mentioning questioning leaders but never actually questioned those leaders. Instead, he moaned about the flag and the military.

The only thing worse than a Trump hater is a poorly disguised Trump hater.

I’m sorry but he should not be allowed on the air. We need to stop tolerating dangerous kooks.

I think he looks like somebody whose only interest in sports is as a platform for his personal politics.

Suck it up, snowflake. In other countries, you’d be thrown from the upper deck.

He looks like a limp wristed faggot. Why would this metrosexual have anything to do with sports?

NBC has a lot of nerve after unleashing Bob Costas and his anti-gun screed upon a non-political sporting event saying the simple flag is too political. It’s been at sporting events since before NBC was...
What they are really saying is they want sports to be colored by THEIR politics and not by out politics.

I do not believe it is a practice anymore but the Pentagon has paid the NFL millions of dollars to promote patriotism and the NFL accepted it. I believe they paid back several hundred thousand but there are issues with the NFL that bother me. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/11/05/454834662/pentagon-paid-sports-teams-millions-for-paid-patriotism-events
