EPSN has taken a lot of heat lately for the prominence of left-wing politics on their telecasts, but they’re not the only ones combining politics and sport. This week, an NBC Sports personality attacked the presence of American flags at baseball games.
One would think that other networks would have learned from ESPN’s troubles. For many, the outrage against the ESPN began with Collin Kaepernick. When the 49er QB sparked controversy for kneeling during the national anthem, one ESPN personality called the protest “a wonderful thing.” In December, it was revealed that the network lost half-a-million subscribers, much of which was attributed to the network’s far-left politics.
NBC Sports writer Craig Calcaterra doesn’t appear deterred by ESPN’s woes. Instead, he seems to be emulating the behavior that has gotten his colleagues at ESPN in so much trouble. In fact, his comments were so anti-American, it could be argued that his views are even more controversial.
Read what he said about the American flag on the next page:
Moron. It represents the blood, tears and death of soldiers that fought so you can display your stupidity.
It is a sign of freedom fought for so you can talk like you do against it. God bless America
Idiot!
What a$#%&!@*
Flag has NEVER BEEN POLITICAL except when the CIVIL war started because the south left the United States!
How many countries threw their flags away and why? Mostly because they were overtaken by an enemy either from within or outside!
And you are too stupid t report on anything
He should be banned!
You need to be banned.
Put him in the Army and let him learn what this flag stands for.
Loser
