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:
You are an idiot
If you don’t like it: MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND THEN TRY TO DISS THEIR FLAG.
How about a lobotomy?
Nothing But Clowns.
What an American!!!!!
The truth is, you are to political. What a douche!
You should be fired
This a sports writer? Hmmm…
This is an American? Hmmm…
This is an American Sports Writer for NBC ? Hmmm…me thinks not..
Another social media screwball, ill suited for common sense reasoning, working for the “Nothing but crazies” network.
Instead of the flaf ban the politics. Also no the American flag is not a symbol of freedom its a sybol of war. Look up americas civil peace time flag. You are no aware of it cuz we have always been at war in some part of the world since ww1.
NEVER. MAYBE PEOPLE THAT DON’T like the FLAG SHOULD LEAVE SO SORRY OTHER COUNTRIES DON’T SEEN TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THERE FLAG WHY AMERICA ?????
