Send a note to USAA, asking the company why they are sponsoring the NFL.

SEEMS TO BE A GIANT DISCONNECT IN THE MESSAGE.

If you are a USAA member, what do you think?

They’re getting slammed in their member comments section.

I’m not a member of usaa, but I’m glad they are here to serve our armed forces. I agree: their support of the patriotically wavering nfl is a big mixed message.

The military had recruiting agreements with the NFL, most of the patriotic/military things we have seen at NFL games has been paid advertising by the military. I did not know this until recently. I guess the NFL actually returned part of the money because of questions about how much of what the NFL was doing that was military related was paid advertising and how much was done out of patriotism. Very confusing to me.

I wonder if USAA became sponsors because of the relationship between the military and NFL.

I do agree it is time for USAA to rethink sponsoring NFL.

It’s just marketing. I don’t mind.
