State funded propaganda in sports.
As a sports fan I notice a ton of patriotic propaganda and do wonder how much money stolen by the state is used to fund it. I watch Mixed Martial Arts and NFL and there is a ton of propaganda mixed in. I'm sure its in all other major sports as well.
I will stick with the NFL here because the backlash about the flag protest. The department of defense has spent millions of tax dollars on sports teams to perform patriotic displays. Seeing the amount of backlash from fans about the national anthem protest is proof that the state is great at indoctrination starting in public school and all the propaganda used on television.
It is hard to find exact numbers but everything I can find about how much the state gives the NFL to promote propaganda is around 10 million and that is just one major sport organization in the USA. Do billionaires in the sports world need millions of dollars stolen from us to play a silly song, have a giant flag and parade guys in uniforms around? No, sports are entertainment and should not be given one stolen dollar for any reason. Now the state paying them to promote state propaganda to indoctrinate the masses is what is happening and working.
Complaining about the flag protest is proof of state propaganda working and that the vast majority of people are easily controlled and driven to statism through indoctrination. I see no end to this because all of it benefits the state, the teams get free stolen money and statist eat it up.
I would rather have a Raider flag on a Flag Pole than a magic gawd flag...
Hell yeah Raider Nation!
