Thanks for the promotion!

I want to make clear: I have absolutely no problem with the military spending money on recruiting.

My issue is NFL clubs which almost always receive enormous sums of public funds (or sweetheart deals on public facilities) taking even MORE money to “salute” veterans. If they themselves give vets tickets, go ahead and show them on the board or bring them on the field…even better GIVE THESE GUYS JOBS. This $5.4 million on a per club basis is not a huge amount money, it is is principle involved that sickens me.
