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.

You , sir are an idiot!!
We are living in Alice’s “Through-the-Looking-Glass” land where up is down, down is up, right is wrong and wrong is right; and sane people find themselves in a country gone stark raving mad thanks to liberalism and the Democrat Party.
He is wrong.
NBC should be banned.
ANother fool paid to cause problems.
Before you were born the American flag was there, what makes you offended? Because probably you’re not American, you’re free to go… we don’t need people with no respect…
You sir should be banned
Looney tunes at it again!
Stupid is stupid how in the hell did he ever get a job sport writing???
