Millions of Tax Payers Dollars Spent on Pro-Sports Patriotism

Hosted by

Elaborate celebrations of America’s military are common at professional sports events.  It turns out that the leagues are being paid by the Pentagon -- with your money.  

Arizona’s Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake are staunch conservatives.  McCain was a POW during the war in Vietnam.  But he and Flake have released a report harshly critical of the Pentagon’s spending of taxpayer money to pay for patriotism.  We hear more from Les Carpenter, who writes about sports for the Guardian US.
