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:
Yup if the our flag offends you.
Move
Ha. Leave then.
Is this guy just trying to get lotsa media face time, or is he just stupid?
F U
U should be slapped
AS A VETERAN NBC NEEDS TO REMOVE HIM NOT THE AMERICAN FLAG BEING A VETERAN I WOULD PUNCH HIM DEAD IN THE FACE FOR ALL THAT GAVE THEIR LIFE FOR THAT FLAG AND THEIR COUNTRY
What an idiot!
He should be removed from all sporting events.
I’ m getting so tired of these jerks.
The flag is not political. It’s protest groups fanned by the media and so-called political correctness which I hope will end soon. Our flag is the symbol of our country. It says I’m proud to be an American or is that not politically correct anymore?
