Leading conservative questions faux patriotism at sporting events.

It's about time. I am sick and tired of this fake marriage. Let me enjoy my football in peace. I don't need this "God Bless America" crap shoved down my throat.

I despise that song. So did Woody Guthrie who wrote the great This Land Is Your Land as a response to it.

Good call, it certainly has been over the top with celebs and politicians piling on for popularity. I love America, I support our troops, but enough "look at me I support america" public shows for the sake of their own popularity.

I'm fine with it as long as everyone knows it's a paid advertisement not true patriotism from the heart.

This makes those sports teams look pretty bad in my view. I always thought when I saw flag waving it was the teams attempt to either show real attitudes or at least seem to show those attitudes to those who value them. But now that I know they were just whoring themselves for what amounts to a buck fifty I'm feeling duped and jaded.

How would you reasonably expect anyone know this?

You can't hardly go to a game anymore without someone or some cause being recognized.

Sure charity is awesome but the whole "hey look at were doing for these people" is a little played out.

I don't know. Maybe a disclaimer at the end of a salute or tribute. Something over the loudspeakers like "this message was paid for by the United States National Guard".

FIFY

Is this another "fake" USA Today story?

I hope so. If not we should double the taxes on all sporting franchises.
