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:
Yall got your way about anything confederate but you will never get our flag!
He needs to be removed from the United States. I think it’s time to clean house of Americans who hate their own Country. Go see how great it is somewhere else.
KMA
He should be fired.
Dumb SOB!
Dude you’re an$#%&!@*hole I think you should be removed from the United States
NO YOU ARE! SHUT UP!
You should be removed from the broadcast booth.
Fucked in the head…
Try reporting something else. Americans playing and watching American sports don’t want to hear dribble like this.
