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.

NBC=NOTHING BUT CRAZY
You are a sports writer, I don’t care about or intend to listen to your thoughts on the American Flag. You need to stick to your sports writing and stay the hell out of politics.
oh, move to Cuba
Your a dumb$#%&!@*and should leave asap
Political versus patriotic. Quite a difference. Let’s keep patriotic.
Leave our flag alone, you need to leave!
Refund the price of his ticket. He dosent need to attend. Removing symbols of our country is a step towards the failing of our country. Someone who has plans to take over a country follows several steps…this is one of them. Not saying this gentleman has this in mind but doing this type of thing makes it easier for those that do. Like not flying flags at schools, taking down crosses at churches, etc.
Sports writer: Write about sports.
Your an asshole
Our flag stands for so many things! Most of all ,the great sacrifices paid by great men and women! Something that your kind couldn’t understand! You don’t deserve to live on this ground, paid for with the blood of patriots! Damn a sporting event that this flag doesn’t belong at!
