Howard Bryant of ESPN bashes cops for singing National Anthem

Apparently, blacks and progressives are now offended when police officers sing the National Anthem before sporting events. In fact, Howard Bryant of ESPN was so upset about cops singing the National Anthem, that he claims it’s “staged patriotism” and signals an “authoritarian shift at the ballpark.” This is progressives in the twenty first century, and ESPN. Remember when ESPN and their crap magazine focused on sports and didn’t have a bit of politics in their coverage? Apparently those days are long gone.

Howard Bryant of ESPN bashes cops for singing National Anthem

Everybody loves it when police officers sing the national anthem before sporting events – or so we thought.

ESPN Magazine’s Howard Bryant wrote in a new column that cops singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” is “staged patriotism,” arguing that it signals an “authoritarian shift at the ballpark.”

“Why don’t more athletes speak out on behalf of their communities?” Bryant wrote. “Perhaps more of them would if there wasn’t a chilling force looming over them.”

This morning, the “Fox and Friends Weekend” co-hosts took exception with Bryant’s column and his assertion that these performances of the national anthem are examples of systemic racism in America.

“What is the problem here with expressing some patriotism?” Anna Kooiman asked, pointing out that this comes after recent attacks on the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence.

We like to call ESPN BSPN for their east coast team bias out west. Now we can call them MSNBC too..
