USAA needs to make full disclosure about the number of “comp” tickets that are used by management at USAA.
This is a cooperative, not a cookie jar.
Just sent the following letter to USAA:
I have just learned that USAA is a sponsor of the NFLPA. While I realize that USAA leadership probably receives some substantial perks for that sponsorship, it gives me cause to wonder just who USAA really supports.
I’m a retired Army officer and I’ve been a USAA member since graduation from OCS, which was over 30 years ago. My late brother served in the Navy, my late father retired from the Air Force as a Chief Master Sergeant and members of my family have served in the military for six generations. Seeing Alejandro Villanueva, a West Point graduate and Airborne Ranger with three deployments to Afghanistan, standing alone with his hand over his heart while ALL of his teammates boycotted the national anthem broke my heart. Now I discover that USAA supports the very organization that heaps its disrespect - disrespect that began long before our president made any comments about the so-called protests - on the country that I and my family and friends have fought and died for?
I will not be lectured about “inequality” by ignorant fools who’ve been babied and coddled by their families, their schools and coaches since at least high school, many of whom make more in a year than most Americans make in a lifetime. If USAA invests my money in an organization that openly disrespects my country and the sacrifices of so many veterans, I’ll have nothing to do with USAA. Take your free tickets in the expensive seats; I suspect that, before long, you won’t have much company in the stadiums.
Sincerely,
[Name]
Major, US Army, retired
