As a class, NFL team owners are notorious righties. Seven of them donated $1 million or more to the Trumpolini campaign. Two others gave six-figure contributions. They got what they wanted with this season's silly new Trump-friendly policy of no kneeling or protesting during the anthem.
With that in mind, here's Bob Costas on sports, patriotism and the flag. The video is from a year ago, but it remains the truth.
And don't forget the NFL's many staged displays of paid "patriotism." The Department of Defense has spent over $10 million in taxpayer money on pro sports marketing and advertising, including flyovers, gigantic flags and other militaristic theatrics in stadiums and arenas.
