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:
Yes, he should be removed.
You should be removed
Our flag represents the entire United States, how can it possibly be political. More like PC because liberals are afraid to hurt the namby pandy feelings of illegal aliens and muslim “refugees”. They need to get over it or go back to their own lands, I see many of them carrying their own flags in this country and I find that offensive.
If you do not like our AMERICAN FLAG you are free to leave this country
Let’s remove you instead.
