A recent report says the military industrial complex paid the National Football League sporting corporate complex money to promote their product on the gridiron before many Sunday games. The military has a difficult time finding new recruits to work and get boring training. It is not easy recruiting a volunteer army signing miserable rigged life fighting people defending their homelands in far away places for the interests of rich oil oligarchs. With this in mind the Military had decided to infiltrate NFL games with patriotic symbols and presentations to impressionable youths before big football games. This abhorrent tactic had little scrutiny until recently when news of this got out. this troubling" marketing and promotional relationship with professional baseball, football, hockey and basketball teams, after a news report detailed payments made by the military towards sports leagues at live events.
In a letter sent Monday to the Secretary of Defense and the chief of the National Guard Bureau,
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) asked the Department of Defense to supply the total amount it has paid pro
leagues and franchises since fiscal year 2009 to present promotional material and the "complete details on the number of paid salutes for honoring members of the Armed Services (and) the amount spent on such salutes.
This is alarming because we pay the military through our taxes and for it to pay a conglomerate like the national Football league to promote militarism at sports events is not a purposeful use of tax dollars from the public. the brainwashing of the pubic into thinking it is acceptable to honor invaders and baby killers of other lands because they do not adhere to US hegemony and domination of their lands is disgraceful and this nonchalant support of our military into cultural important events may explain why the public has little regard to our military presence everywhere accepting it as a normal activity when they see it presented in positive light to an even t such as a sporting event that unfortunately the public holds to such high regards. If the NFL would allow to agree to get money and allow honor of a military many deem aggressive and evil then they should allow protestors the same right to pool their money and show honor against US military domination and support for those fighting American imperial industrialist profiteers and defending their homeland against these American military storm troopers. Patriotism at the right price is what sports and Army is all about in the gloryful country of America where we fight those who the rich deem barbarians and obstacles to their worship of profit.
