I can confirm. This is why I stopped watching football.

Was it the giant flags, monotonically lengthening renditions of the Star Spangled Banner and military fly-overs that were the final straw?

We happen to live in a country with flags and a national anthem. This is nothing new or unique to America.

If flags and anthems are offensive to you, I don’t know what to tell you.

I'm not personally offended by it, I was just suggesting that the hyper-patriotism of the broadcast was the overt politics GP was complaining about.
