“The New York Jets and other NFL teams have reportedly accepted $5.4 million from the Department of Defense to stage game-day ceremonies honoring soldiers that are little more than publicity stunts. The Jets accepted payments totaling $377,000 from 2011 to 2014 for the phony salutes, and millions more were shelled out to 11 other NFL franchises, according to New Jersey’s Star-Ledger. The Pentagon’s taxpayer bucks to the Jets buy a ‘Hometown Hero’ segment, where a soldier or two is shown on the big screen. Their names are blared through the stadium as the crowd is asked to thank them for their service.”
