I don’t disagree with anything you said.
My main point is that the article as awful and did not put perspective into it. By reading the article only, you have no feel for what he actually was trying to say. It was a little patronizing of the military, but this was NOT NOT NOT some liberal rant. Not at all. This was part of a bigger point he was making - a rather conservative point. And it was mostly about football.
I would only add that I’ve written on Breitbart and American Thinker about ESPN and their politics - but this was not really an example of that. He was using the military to make a point about football...
His rant about how smooth Obama was on 60 Minutes showed how far left he swings. The piece today was not in that vein.
