NFL starts new season sitting for National Anthem. Update Pg 91 (And it continues with 2018 Pre-Season games)
It's not the cost of fly-overs that torqued me. It is the transfer of money to the NFL for half time shows.
"But instead of purely heartfelt salutes to soldiers from hometown football teams, the halftime segments were reportedly part of paid promotions under federal advertising contracts for the military."
I support the fly overs and other recruiting efforts at sporting events. What I don't support is any form of payment to the NFL for the privilege.
There are better articles which cover this issue, I just posted one article which mentioned it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: kimber1911,

The National Football League has agreed to give its commissioner, Roger Goodell, a contract extension.
The NFL's Compensation Committee informed all owners of the move in a memo obtained by CNBC Wednesday.
A "binding contract extension has been signed by the Commissioner and by Arthur Blank, on behalf of the League entities," the memo said. The memo also cites "a nearly unanimous consensus among the ownership in favor of signing the contract extension now."
The Compensation Committee received unanimous authorization from the owners in May 2017 to execute the contract. Since then, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has reportedly been working to derail the process.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Some of y'all need to loosen that tinfoil just a little bit.
Just because a bunch of overpaid athletes with delusions of grandeur don't know any better than to diss the very country and system that awarded them with fame, glory and a crapload of cash, and a number of Americans stood up and said "That's bullpucky and I won't stand for it," now it's a leftist conspiracy?
Well, if it is, it ain't workin' all that well, because a good number of people don't give a flying fart about the NHL and never did. If the NHL disappeared off the face of the planet tomorrow it wouldn't affect me and many others one whit. Oh, other than TV programming we actually like wouldn't get preempted or delayed all fall and half the winter long. Net plus, I'd say.

Sure you can. But not without consequences. This is what you get when you raise one immoral generation after another and teach them they are entitled. It doesn't matter if they reach the highest levels of success, they'll still be worthless thugs destructive to the core.

Good grief.
The population of the US is approximately 327 million. In the period of 2008 to 2017 the number of people who watched an NFL game on TV within the last twelve months was about 135 million.
So, popular: Yes. The loss of which would seriously impact the nation: Hardly.
Those sneaky leftists better come up with a better plan than that.
Tell me: What do people lose by not watching a bunch of overpaid prima donnas throw an oddly-shaped ball around? Entertainment? An escape from reality? Hell, if that's what you want, just watch the evening "news"
