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:
We had a situation in our neighborhood where American flags were banned from city street light poles. Someone complained, and after over 20 years of displaying the flag, the mayor refused to allow the display because it was political. There was an uproar, and, now they say they are reconsidering. As a veteran, I will not let this thing lie until it is resolved.
NBC has become extreme left liberal and they are part of the problem right now.
It’s a good thing that they don’t play baseball i the Olympics because baseball is the national sport of the Japanese?
That is America.$#%&!@*face. You must be an IDIOT.
Honey if that flag offends you, over to another country because your opinion offends us.
He should be removed from NBC
The writer needs deported, by force – catapult ejection maybe
The fifty stars representing the states, the thirteen stripes representing the thirteen original colonies, the colors, each representing qualities such as vigilance, truth, valor, etc.? That’s too political? Citizens, as Ben Franklin said, they have given you “a Republic if you can keep it”. It’s becoming ever more obvious that we will lose our Republic if we sit on our hands any longer. Trump was a good start, but patriots are surrounded by left-wing undemocratic people.
YOU Mr. reporter should be REMOVED from sports!!!!
If our flag offends you leave it is our country’s flag love it or leave
