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.

Then he should leave this country!
Traitor!
The American flag is the symbol of this country. Liberals are the only ones it offends. If it offends them so much, why don’t they pick one they like and move to that country. I’ll fly my flag everyday, as long as there is a breath in my body.
good thing they don’t cover any racing,we salute the flag and sing the national anthum
This damn sports writer is the only thing “too political” here
You jerk!!
Get another career.
What the hell does that mean anyway
