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.

All i can say is …….ASSHOLE
idiot that flag represents the best country in the world why do you think everyone wants to come here, that’s fine but they need to do so legally
It is PATRIOTIC not POLITICAL!
Fire this numb!! He is important
hey$#%&!@*hole look for a new job
His opinion is to unpatriotic and he should be removed from America
He should be removed.
Send him to Afghanistan maybe he’ll have a better appreciation of the flag.
Time for this idiot to loose his job everything
Yes, our flag is political, you dipstick, it’s supposed to be, it tells who we are and and WHY we’re free and proud of our country. I can’t believe someone pays you big bucks to make such a stupid statement. Maybe you should get out of the sports world and move to California, they love any kind of protester.
