Totally embarrassing. The lack of ethics by the sports organizations to not disclose that they were being paid to honor the soldiers is embarrassing.

The NFL is now covering itself and saying it will pay back the money that was for the on the field tributes.

Seriously, Rojo? This is called ADVERTISING. The military needs glorifying at every appropriate opportunity to that impressionable young men with no career alternative sign up - believing they are "Protecting America"
Many such young men can be found watching football on TV. Not really that hard to figure out. Would you expect the military to have recruitment drives during the breaks in Project Runway? I didn't think so.
How do you wrote:
These events are not for the purpose of honoring veterans.
They are sales pageants aimed at the next generation of cannon fodder for the elites.
Young, heathly, not very bright and not well off. Although they can be bright. They have to be willing to follow orders.....
Never forget that we send our soldiers around the world to protect our interests, not our soil...
Rojo I thought you knew the NFL/Military was a sham Marketing campaign. It's great to have a volunteer Army as long as you have volunteer's.
For he Dude who said love or leave it.
Remember the guy who kept us safe except for 9/11 and the two unauthorized wars he started against innocent people. He said this "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again"
