The Jets are just as patriotic as anybody else, I'm sure. But it's easier to wave the red, white and blue when it comes with a healthy dose of green. According to Christopher Baxter and Jonathan Salant of NJ.com, the New Jersey Army National Guard and the Department of Defense paid the Jets a total of...

Utterly disgraceful. Thanks, Ted for bringing shame to our organization. Never a lower point in all my 35 years of following this team.

I hope the 600k was worth the organizations reputation.

Hoping Aaron Nagler's tweet on the Vikings proves to be true about our org as well. We need a statement from 1265 today.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

What is disgraceful about it? It is called doing business. you have to be naive to think NFL teams do anything for free.

For all branches of the military it is a valuable recruiting tool.

So, I guess we all should be disgusted with just about every major network, news paper, and magazine business in America.

The military's budget for advertising -- on TV, radio, print, web, mail campaigns, pamphlets, and movie theaters-- was projected to be $667 million dollars according to the Operation and Maintenance Overview in 2011.

I have to agree that the Packers should clarify the details here. What did Aaron Nagler say about the Vikings or whatever?

Figure you probably wouldn't take the time so I checked quick and think this is what you are referring to.

It would be disreputable if the NFL took money to promote Putin or our strategic adversaries.

I have no problem with them promoting the good guys.

Need more details. As Nagler's tweet in Zero's post indicated, possible it was just for signage/traditional advertising. Also need more context about how this came to be/if the military has policies against accepting free things (including advertising) from corporations to avoid certain unfortunate perceptions. And what precisely this money was meant to cover.

Hmmm....well....let's see...

No, it would take one of my longer posts.

I'll stay out of this one entirely.

I'm sure most people think the expenses for these types of things are paid for by the teams. I never really gave it any thought before but I probably would have thought so as well. While I don't think it is the big disgrace Uffda thinks it is I do think it is a little off the mark. Teams are getting positive press from people thinking they are being patriotic when all along they are being paid to do it. If the money the teams make is simply to pay for the expense I don't really see and issue. Its like any other form of advertising for the military. If they profit in any way from it that is wrong.
